2020-05-29Added initial support for NDP (IPv6)Xavier Simonart1-2/+12
Following messages are now handled by PROX - router_solicitation - neighbour_solicitation - router_advertisement - neighbour_advertisement The following parameters are supported (through the PROX config file) - sub mode=ndp This will enable handling of router and neighbour solicitation and advertisement. - local ipv6=xxxx:xxxx:xxxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx This will configure the local IPv6 address of the port. This parameter is optional. If not specified, the local IPv6 will be calculated from the EUI. - global ipv6=xxxx:xxxx:xxxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx This will configure the global IPv6 address of the port. This parameter is optional. If not specified, the global IPv6 will be calculated from the EUI and the router prefix received from the router. - ipv6 router=yes This will cause the core to behave as an IPv6 router i.e. it will generate Router Advertisement messages This is only useful in back to back cases, when no real IPv6 router is present in the setup. - router prefix=xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx The router prefix usedin the router advertisement The prefix will be used by the node to build an IPv6 global address in cases none were configured. "Unsollicited NA" parameter has been added within the core/task section. If set to yes (Unsollicited NA=yes), then an unsollicited neighbour Advertisement is sent at startup A same core/task cannot support both l3 and ndp mode. Those messages will be generated or handled when submode is set to "ndp": - neighbour sollicitation - neighbour advertisement - router sollicitation - router advertisement An example configuration is provided: config/ipv6.cfg in which port 0 / core 1 plays the role of the generator and port 1 / core 2 plays the role of the swap.

2020-05-29Added support for netlinkXavier Simonart1-0/+1
Through this commit ARP and ICMP messages are forwarded to the kernel when vdev tap devices are enabled, as well as PROX l3 mode. ICMP support has also been added to master (i.e. PROX L3 mode) and to swap (so when L3 submode is not enabled).

2019-09-04Add heartbeat support (stop all cores in case of TCP socket issues)Xavier Simonart1-0/+2
"heartbeat timeout" (in second) can be specified as a global parameter in PROX config file. If set, a timer is started when the first command is received from the TCP socket. This timer is reset at each commands received through the TCP socket. If the timer expires, then - all cores are stopped - the TCP socket is closed, causing an error at client side. This feature helps in case a script starts PROX and the traffic generated through PROX causes issues to the control plane.

2017-07-14Adding PROX(Packet pROcessing eXecution engine) VNF to sampleVNFDeepak S1-0/+87
JIRA: SAMPLEVNF-55 PROX is a DPDK-based application implementing Telco use-cases such as a simplified BRAS/BNG, light-weight AFTR... It also allows configuring finer grained network functions like QoS, Routing, load-balancing... (We are moving PROX version v039 to sampleVNF https://01.org/intel-data-plane-performance-demonstrators/prox-overview) Change-Id: Ia3cb02cf0e49ac5596e922c197ff7e010293d033 Signed-off-by: Deepak S <deepak.s@linux.intel.com>
