2021-07-21ipv6: ioam: Documentation for new IOAM sysctlsJustin Iurman1-0/+26
Add documentation for new IOAM sysctls: - ioam6_id and ioam6_id_wide: two per-namespace sysctls - ioam6_enabled, ioam6_id and ioam6_id_wide: three per-interface sysctls Example of IOAM configuration based on the following simple topology: _____ _____ _____ | | eth0 eth0 | | eth1 eth0 | | | A |.----------.| B |.----------.| C | |_____| |_____| |_____| 1) Node and interface IDs can be configured for IOAM: # IOAM ID of A = 1, IOAM ID of A.eth0 = 11 (A) sysctl -w net.ipv6.ioam6_id=1 (A) sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.ioam6_id=11 # IOAM ID of B = 2, IOAM ID of B.eth0 = 21, IOAM ID of B.eth1 = 22 (B) sysctl -w net.ipv6.ioam6_id=2 (B) sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.ioam6_id=21 (B) sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth1.ioam6_id=22 # IOAM ID of C = 3, IOAM ID of C.eth0 = 31 (C) sysctl -w net.ipv6.ioam6_id=3 (C) sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.ioam6_id=31 Note that "_wide" IDs equivalents can be configured the same way. 2) Each node can be configured to form an IOAM domain. For instance, we allow IOAM from A to C only (not the reverse path), i.e. enable IOAM on ingress for B.eth0 and C.eth0: (B) sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.ioam6_enabled=1 (C) sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.ioam6_enabled=1 3) An IOAM domain (e.g. ID=123) is defined and made known to each node: (A) ip ioam namespace add 123 (B) ip ioam namespace add 123 (C) ip ioam namespace add 123 4) Finally, an IOAM Pre-allocated Trace can be inserted in traffic sent by A when C (e.g. db02::2) is the destination: (A) ip -6 route add db02::2/128 encap ioam6 trace type 0x800000 ns 123 size 12 dev eth0 Signed-off-by: Justin Iurman <justin.iurman@uliege.be> Signed-off-by: David S.
