tunnel: Bareudp Tunnel Support.
There are various L3 encapsulation standards using UDP being discussed to
leverage the UDP based load balancing capability of different networks.
MPLSoUDP (__ https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7510) is one among them.
The Bareudp tunnel provides a generic L3 encapsulation support for
tunnelling different L3 protocols like MPLS, IP, NSH etc. inside a UDP
tunnel.
An example to create bareudp device to tunnel MPLS traffic is
given
$ ovs-vsctl add-port br_mpls udp_port -- set interface udp_port \
type=bareudp options:remote_ip=2.1.1.3
options:local_ip=2.1.1.2 \
options:payload_type=0x8847 options:dst_port=6635
The bareudp device supports special handling for MPLS & IP as
they can have multiple ethertypes. MPLS procotcol can have ethertypes
ETH_P_MPLS_UC (unicast) & ETH_P_MPLS_MC (multicast). IP protocol can have
ethertypes ETH_P_IP (v4) & ETH_P_IPV6 (v6).
The bareudp device to tunnel L3 traffic with multiple ethertypes
(MPLS & IP) can be created by passing the L3 protocol name as string in
the field payload_type. An example to create bareudp device to tunnel
MPLS unicast & multicast traffic is given below.::
$ ovs-vsctl add-port br_mpls udp_port -- set interface
udp_port \
type=bareudp options:remote_ip=2.1.1.3
options:local_ip=2.1.1.2 \
options:payload_type=mpls options:dst_port=6635
