2020-05-29Added support for secondary process & virtual devicesXavier Simonart1-0/+1
A virtual device can be created adding the following option on the eal field within the eal options section: --vdev=net_ring0 This will cause a new (virtual) dpdk port to be created. Such a device can then be used in a primary process as other DPDK devices i.e. a [port x] section must be defined in the configuration file For a secondary process, there is no need to add --vdev, but, of course --proc-type=secondary (or --proc-type=auto) must be set within the eal field. There are two ways to use such a virtual device in a secondary process 1) Using the DPDK port number. Note however that the DPDK port number of virtual devices in the secondary process might not start from 0 and might hence have to be guessed e.g. if using 2 virtual devices in primary process (--vdev=net_ring0 --vdev=net_ring1) the port_id will be 0 and 1 in primary process and 2 & 3 in secondary process. 2) Using the port name, as defined in --vdev in the primary process. In this way, no [port] section must be defined, and the virtual port names are directly used within the "rx port" and "tx port" configuration e.g.: rx port=net_ring0 tx port=net_ring1 Limitations =========== There seems to be a PROX leak causing DPDK port id to increase when restarting the secondary process (causing the secondary process configuration through port id more difficult). As the primary process configures the port (including the number of rx and tx queues) based on its config file, the secondary process can't setup its own queues. Simple configurations (such as using gen or lat in primary, and swap in secondary) work as PROX allocates a RX queue even in gen mode and a TX queue even in lat mode. Better configuration/support for secondary process should be designed. The use of dpdk port names is only supported by PROX within "rx port" and "tx port". It is not supported by other configuration fields such as "tx ports from routing table". The use of dpdk port names in "rx port" and "tx port" is limited to only 1 port.

2020-05-29Added initial VLAN support with vdev devicesXavier Simonart1-0/+1
For kernel supported devices, add for vlan tag support This can be configured through port parameter: vlan tag=<vlan tag> If this parameter is set, a vlan tagged interface is created on top of the tap device This is only supported for vdev tap devices When sending (untagged) packet to the tap device (through socket) the tap should react in sending tagged packet Note that receiving in L3 mode (w/o tap support) a tagged packet is not yet supported.

2020-05-29Add support for vdev tap devicesXavier Simonart1-1/+5
This commit adds support for the creation of tap devices. To create a tap device, and associate it with a DPDK port, add within the port section: vdev=<tap_name> local ipv4=<ip_assigned_to_port> <tap_name> will appear as a kernel network device, with an IP <ip_assigned_to_port> ARP packets received from the network on the DPDK interface will be forwarded to the kernel. 1st packet which needs to be generated to a new IP will cause an IP packet to be sent to the kernel (using socket sendto) forcing the kernel to send an ARP_REQUEST. In this commit, there is no notification from the kernel about ARP table changes. This is subject to further commits. Two config files, gen_tap.cfg and swap_tap.cfg have been created. They work one against each other. *** Note however that they do not work if running within the same host (with the port being connected back to back) *** This is due to the fact that the kernel would bypass the ports and use local interface...

2020-01-29Prepare for DPDK 19.08 supportXavier Simonart1-2/+3
This commit prepares PROX for supporting changes from DPDK 19.08 Mainly, the "sed" listed below were run. In addition, - some forward definition have been removed, - prox_compat.h has been updated - prox_compat.h has been included where necessary.

2019-10-13Increase the default number of rx and tx descriptors to 2KXavier Simonart1-0/+4
A high number of RX descriptor can be helpful in avoiding packet loss due to the core being interrupted. This commit increases the default number of descriptors from 256 to 2K. Those values are checked versus the minimum and maximum supported by the pmd. Number of mbufs (mempool size) have been updated n config files to support this default number of dsescriptors. The number of descriptors can still be overwritten by the config file. However those values must always remain within the limits reported by the pmd.

2019-10-09Add support for igmp and multicastXavier Simonart1-0/+3
Multicast can be enabled through configuration or through command line - Through configuration Add multicast=mcast_address (e.g. multicast=01:00:5e:01:02:03) in the port section - Through command line run enable multicast port_id mcast_address (e.g. enable multicast 1 01:00:5e:01:02:03) IGMP join message is sent unsollicited through command line: join igmp core_id task_id ip (e.g. join igmp 1 0 224.1.1.3) To enable swap answering IGMP Query (w/ IGMP Join) - Through configuration Add igmp ipv4=ip_address within the core/task section - Through command line join igmp core_id task_id ip (e.g. join igmp 1 0 224.1.1.3) (this will 1st initiate an unsollicated join, then answer any subsequent query) UDP/TCP packets received on a multicast address (224.0.0.0 => 239.255.255.255) are discarded To stop sending responses to IGMP query: leave igmp core_id task_id Change-Id: I3808ccabf3b38b5a1e10e1b044db63aa05bcd7b5 Signed-off-by: Xavier Simonart <xavier.simonart@intel.com>
2019-03-06PROX generator: performance optimization (2/4)Xavier Simonart1-0/+1
Improve PROX generator performance by pre-calculating bytes_to_tsc. This improvement is only implemented for non-pcap generator, where only few different packet sizes are usually generated. This change might have a negative performance impact in some cases, if many different packet sizes are generated, resulting in higher memory usage. This is the case for instance if random is applied to packet size. In addition, simplified the rx path, receiving now only MAX_PKT_BURST packets per handle loop. Before we were trying to empty the NIC looping on RX packets, ending up with many rx packets per handle loop. This was used to determine an lower bound for the time the packet was received. We now set the lower bound when less than MAX_PKT_BURST has been received. Change-Id: I1ce813d7e4ac1577ea412c590add5d6f94b36ec7 Signed-off-by: Xavier Simonart <xavier.simonart@intel.com>

2018-05-25Increase default mbuf size and code simplification/cleanupXavier Simonart1-0/+2
mbuf size was setup to achieve the best performance i.e. using the smallest mbuf and not segmenting packets. However this resulted in complex code, much dependent of the way the pmd are working e.g. a change(fix) in recent dpdk i40e implementation caused a 1782 (=1518+8+256) bytes mbuf to be too small to hold a 1518 bytes packets. Hence this change simplifies the mbuf size selection at the price of a potential decreases in performance - as more memory is now used. Except if jumbo frames are used, the mbuf size will now be the same for all modes. The packets will not be segmented except if jumbo frames are enabled. If jumbo frames are enabled, packets are by default segmented, except if the mbuf size is configured big enough in the config file.
