In Linux, SRv6 policies can be pushed based on
packets destination address.
However for many use-cases, it is needed to push SRv6
policies based on information from L2/L3/L4.
Consider a use-case where you want to push SRv6 policies based on
the application layer protocol (HTTP/DNS), which requires being able
to match the destination port of a packet.
In this patch, we use iptables a classifier for SRv6, hence we benefit
from all of its matching capabilities.
We added a new action to the SEG6 target, named "bind-sid", that takes
the BSID and the SID table as arguments.
Each packet that matches an iptables rule with SEG6 target that has the
bind-sid action, will go through the SRv6 policies configured for that BSID.
Example:
We have an SRv6 policy configured in Linux as follows:
ip -6 route add A99::1 encap seg6 mode encap segs F1::,F2::,F3:: dev eth1
We can steer traffic through this SRv6 policy using the matching power of
iptables firewall as follows:
ip6atbles -t raw -I PREROUTING -s <saddr> -d <daddr> \
-p <proto> --sport <src_port> --dport <dst_port> \
-j SEG6 --seg6-action bind-sid --bsid A99::1 --bsid-tbl 0
This new SEG6 action should perfectly address all use-cases that require
pushing SRv6 policies based information from Layer3/Layer4.
