Bare UDP Tunnelling Module Documentation
|
||
|
|
========================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are various L3 encapsulation standards using UDP being discussed to
|
||
|
|
leverage the UDP based load balancing capability of different networks.
|
||
|
|
MPLSoUDP (__ https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7510) is one among them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Bareudp tunnel module provides a generic L3 encapsulation tunnelling
|
||
|
|
support for tunnelling different L3 protocols like MPLS, IP, NSH etc. inside
|
||
|
|
a UDP tunnel.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Usage
|
||
|
|
------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) Device creation & deletion
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a) ip link add dev bareudp0 type bareudp dstport 6635 ethertype 0x8847.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This creates a bareudp tunnel device which tunnels L3 traffic with ethertype
|
||
|
|
0x8847 (MPLS traffic). The destination port of the UDP header will be set to
|
||
|
|
6635.The device will listen on UDP port 6635 to receive traffic.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
b) ip link delete bareudp0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) Device Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The bareudp device could be used along with OVS or flower filter in TC.
|
||
|
|
The OVS or TC flower layer must set the tunnel information in SKB dst field before
|
||
|
|
sending packet buffer to the bareudp device for transmission. On reception the
|
||
|
|
bareudp device extracts and stores the tunnel information in SKB dst field before
|
||
|
|
passing the packet buffer to the network stack.
