Subject: [PATCH RFC nf-next 2/4] netfilter: flowtable: Add IP6IP6 rx sw
acceleration
Introduce sw acceleration for rx path of IP6IP6 tunnels relying on the
netfilter flowtable infrastructure. Subsequent patches will add sw
acceleration for IP6IP6 tunnels tx path.
IP6IP6 rx sw acceleration can be tested running the following scenario
where the traffic is forwarded between two NICs (eth0 and eth1) and an
IP6IP6 tunnel is used to access a remote site (using eth1 as the underlay
device):
ETH0 -- TUN0 <==> ETH1 -- [IP network] -- TUN1 (2001:db8:3::2)
$ip addr show
6: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 00:00:22:33:11:55 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet6 2001:db8:1::2/64 scope global nodad
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
7: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 00:11:22:33:11:55 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet6 2001:db8:2::1/64 scope global nodad
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
8: tun0@...E: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1480 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link/tunnel6 2001:db8:2::1 peer 2001:db8:2::2 permaddr ce9c:2940:7dcc::
inet6 2002:db8:1::1/64 scope global nodad
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
$ip -6 route show
2001:db8:1::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
2001:db8:2::/64 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
2002:db8:1::/64 dev tun0 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
default via 2002:db8:1::2 dev tun0 metric 1024 pref medium
$nft list ruleset
table inet filter {
flowtable ft {
hook ingress priority filter
devices = { eth0, eth1 }
}
chain forward {
type filter hook forward priority filter; policy accept;
meta l4proto { tcp, udp } flow add @ft
}
}
Reproducing the scenario described above using veths I got the following
results:
- TCP stream received from the IPIP tunnel:
- net-next: (baseline) ~ 79Gbps
- net-next + IP6IP6 flowtbale support: ~106Gbps
