-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Ole,
The main thing I'm currently missing is OSPFv3. The multicast packets don't arrive in linux kernel. Attached is a pcap file showing the dropped packets. OSPFv2 seems to be working fine. I hope to test the BGP for IPv4 and IPv6 today. I have put my findings in the vppsb-dev mailinglist. I would be really happy if I could get this setup working. I currently have the possibility to test any code changes you make :-) Jan Hugo Prins On 04/11/2018 10:33 AM, Ole Troan wrote: > Hi Jan, > >> Is someone actively maintaining the router plugin? > > I'm not a big fan of the router plugin. > The starting point of the router plugin is "how can you take an unmodified routing protocol implementation and make it work with VPP". > That leads to all kinds of complexities as the two methods they tried shows. > > If we change the premise does the solution space look better? > > I think we could change the routing protocol implementation to talk directly with VPP's API for interfaces / interface events, it programs the VPP FIB directly. > Then it could send and receive packets somewhat similar to what we have for the punt Unix domain socket. > We might need a better punt path mechanism, where a Linux application can register for a particular IP protocol (like 89 for OSPF) on a particular interface.
