datapath-windows: Add IPv6 Geneve tunnel support in Windows
In the first step OVS Windows will support IPv6 tunnel(Geneve IPv6 tunnel). Implementation on Windows ------------------------- 1. For the IPv6 tunnel support,  OvsIPTunnelKey will replace original OvsIPv4TunnelKey in the related flow context handing. 2. The related src and dst address will be  changed to SOCKADDR_INET type from UINT32. 3. For the IPv6 tunnel,  one node running OVS-Windows could encapsulate IPv4/IPv6 Packets via IPV6 Geneve Tunnel, and the node could also encapsulate IPv4/IPv6 packet Via IPv4 Geneve tunnel. 4. Related IPHelper data structure will be adapted to support IPv6 Tunnel. In the IPHelper part the related Windows API(such as GetUnicastIpAddressTable/GetBestRoute2/GetIpNetEntry2/ ResolveIpNetEntry2) and Windows data structure(MIB_IPFORWARD_ROW2/MIB_IPNET_ROW2/IP_ADDRESS_PREFIX) Have already supported both IPv4 and IPV6. Now OVS Windows has been adjusted some functions And data structured to support IPV6 tunnel also. 5. OVS_TUNNEL_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_SRC and OVS_TUNNEL_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_DST filed will be supported in OVS-Windows kernel for IPV6 tunnel. Testing done. ------------------------- Related topo, 1 Windows VM(Win2019) and 2 Ubuntu 16.04 server. Both VMs Are running on one ESX host. 1. Setup one IPV6 Geneve Tunnel between 1 Windows VM and 1 Ubuntu server. Windows VM, vif0( 6000::2/40.1.1.10) vif1(5000::2)—— Ubuntu VM Eth2(5000::9), name space ns1 with interface ns1_link_peer(6000::9/40.1.1.2) Related tunnnel, ovs-vsctl.exe add-port br-int bms-tun0 -- set interface bms-tun0 type=Geneve options:csum=true options:key=flow options:local_ip="5000::2" options:remote_ip=flow In this topo, traffic from Vif0(Win) to ns1_link_peer(Ubuntu) will be gone through the Geneve tunnel (5000::2—>5000::9) for both IPv4 traffic(40.1.1.10-->40.1.1.2) and IPv6 traffic(6000::2—>6000::9) 2. Setup one IPV4 Geneve Tunnel between Windows VM and 1 Ubuntu server. Windows VM, vif0( 6000::2/40.1.1.10) vif1(50.1.1.11)—— Ubuntu, Eth2(50.1.1.9), name space ns1 with interface ns1_link_peer(6000::19/40.1.1.9) Related tunnnel, ovs-vsctl.exe -- set Interface bms-tun0 type=geneve options:csum=true options:key=flow options:local_ip="50.1.1.11" options:remote_ip=flow In this topo, traffic from Vif0(Win) to ns1_link_peer(Ubuntu) will be gone through the Geneve Tunnel (50.1.1.11—>50.1.1.9) for both IPv4 traffic(40.1.1.10-->40.1.1.9) and IPv6 traffic(6000::2—>6000::19). 3.Regression test for IpV4 in Antrea project (about 60 test case) is PASS Future Work ----------- Add other type IPv6 tunnel support for Gre/Vxlan/Stt.
