> A missing piece to the VRF puzzle is the ability to bind sockets to

> index, sdif, to IPv4 and IPv6 socket lookups. The end result for users
> is the following scope options for services:
>
> 1. "global" services - sockets not bound to any device
>
> Allows 1 service to work across all network interfaces with
> connected sockets bound to the VRF the connection originates
> (Requires net.ipv4.tcp_l3mdev_accept=1 for TCP and
> net.ipv4.udp_l3mdev_accept=1 for UDP)
>
> 2. "VRF" local services - sockets bound to a VRF
>
> Sockets work across all network interfaces enslaved to a VRF but
> are limited to just the one VRF.
>
> 3. "device" services - sockets bound to a specific network interface
>
> Service works only through the one specific interface.

> v2
> - remove sk_lookup struct and add sdif as an argument to existing

> Changes since RFC:
> - no significant logic changes; mainly whitespace cleanups
Series applied, thanks David.
