This patch adds support for NSH function implementation which can be used for
service function chaining. It covers control plane, kernel dataplane and
DPDK-netdev dataplane.
Three modes are enabled in this patch: Decapsulation and encapsulation,
special none decapsulation, NSH conversion.
Decapsulation and encapsulation for packet are basic feature for NSH. This
patch can support decapsulation and encapsulation for packet with
VxLAN-GPE+NSH format in both kernel dataplane and DPDK-netdev dataplane, and
support it with Ethernet+NSH format only in DPDK-netdev dataplane.
The VxLAN-GPE+NSH design is based on the basic VxLAN implementation, and the
default UDP destination for VxLAN-GPE+NSH VTEP is '4790'. The type 'eth_nsh'
for tunnel port is added to support Ethernet+NSH, and ET '0x894F' is used to
indicate this format. New fields in metadata for NSH is added: service path
header (nsp, nsi) and context header with NSH MD-type 1(nshc1, nshc2, nshc3,
nshc4), which can be used for match field and set field according to the
VxLAN-GPE NSH configuration and related rules.
Speical none decapsulation mode is used for decapsulation-reencapsulation case
in DPDK-netdev dataplane. In this mode, tunnel port will parse the input tunnel
packets with VxLAN-GPE+NSH or Etherne+NSH format, and tunnel header will be
kept. This feature can boost the performance for decapsulation-reencapsulation
case.
NSH conversion mode is used for converting VxLAN-GPE+NSH to Ethernet+NSH and
Ethernet+NSH to VxLAN-GPE+NSH in DPKD-netdev dataplane. The vport with the
feature of conversion from VxLAN-GPE+NSH to Ethernet+NSH, can remove the outer
MAC header, IP header, UDP header and VxLAN-GPE header from packet with
VxLAN-GPE+NSH format, then add the Outer MAC header to build the packet with
Ethernet+NSH format. For the vport with the feature of conversion from
Ethernet+NSH to VxLAN-GPE+NSH, the packets are processed inversely.
