[nf-next 3/3] netfilter: using ip6tables as L2/L3/L4 classifier for SRv6

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
