From fa869940dd9bb459ac599fe80c26c9d3e720fd31 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xavier Simonart Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2020 23:25:22 +0200 Subject: Add support for vdev tap devices 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= local ipv4= will appear as a kernel network device, with an IP 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...
