  7. 0000 0001 0100 0010 Metanet Frame Len (12b) Metanet Frame Len (12b) Metanet Frame Len (12b) Metanet Frame Len (12b) TxMI (2B) Destination MPE (2B) Destination MPE (2B) TxMI (2B) Source MPE (2B) RxMI (2B) RxMI (2B) Source MPE (2B) Substrate Header • Transit: LC  LC • TxMI and RxMI are defined by the Substrate on the LC • They are not actual MIs on a MR • Internal: MPE  MPE • MNs can define their on MN Internal header to be put in the MetaNet Frame • Ingress: LC  MPE • Egress Simple: MPE  LC • No extra information needed

  8. 0101 Metanet Frame Len (12b) TxMI (2B) Source MPE (2B) Length (1B) NH MN Addr (0-63B) 0110 Metanet Frame Len (12b) TxMI (2B) Source MPE (2B) MAC Address (6B) Substrate Header (continued) • Egress MAC_ADDR: MPE  LC • MPE provides MAC address for Substrate to use when sending out on Egress link • Egress NH_MN_Addr: MPE  LC • MPE provides a next hop MN address for Substrate to perform ARP for it. • (Length + Nh MN Addr) field padded to be even number of bytes long

  9. Length (1B) Length (1B) Type (1B) Type (1B) TxMI (2B) RxMI (2B) Type Dependent Data (0-???B) Type Dependent Data (0-???B) IPv4 MR Internal Header Length (1B) Exception Type (1B) RxMI (2B) Type Dependent Data (0-???B) • CP to MPE !Reclassify • Return packets to MPE for re-injection into fast path • Also used by CP to inject new packets into data stream. • For example, ICMP • MR does not need to reclassify • Substrate would need a lookup on TxMI to get the information needed to get packet to LC. • Length = 4 Bytes • Type = 0x0 • No Type Dependent Data • MPE to CP • Slow path handling of exception packets • Some exceptions may require additional data to be • communicated to CP • CP to MPE Reclassify • Return packets to MPE for re-injection into fast path • Ingress Lookup: Redo the normal lookup with provide RxMI in Key. • Length = 4 Bytes • Type = 0x1 • No Type Dependent Data

  10. IPv4 MR Internal Header Notes • Input data to Parse is MN Frame Offset and Length • Output data from Parse is IP Pkt Offset and Length • If there is a MN Internal Header, Parse basically consumes it. • Hdr Format needs to start at the beginning of the IP Header and re-write headers upward in the Buffer. • If Parse receives a frame/pkt from the CP, • It should not decrement the TTL. • Assume a pkt coming from the CP has the correct TTL for going out on the link • It should validate the header and check the header checksum • It should not generate an exception for IP options. • Assume the CP has dealt with all the exceptions. • What about the case where the TxMI is on a Multi-Access Link and needs a Next Hop MetaNet Address to resolve the next hop destination? • For Frame/Pkt from CP, what does Demux put in RxMI data field passed to Parse?

Ethernet Trailer (Pad+CRC)

  14. 0100 Metanet Frame Len (12b) TxMI (2B) Source MPE (2B) MPE  LC (Egress Simple) Internal Format DAddr (6B) MPE SAddr (6B) Type=802.1Q (2B) VLAN (2B) Type=Substrate (2B) Metanet Frame (Metanet Frame Len Bytes) LC • Source MPE: ID of sending MPE • TxMI: Transmit Meta Interface Ethernet Trailer (Pad+CRC)

Should we? Metanet Frame (Metanet Frame Len Bytes) Ethernet Trailer (Pad+CRC)

  17. Data Delivered by Substrate to MPE Metanet Frame Len (16b) Destination MPE (2B) RxMI (2B) Metanet Frame (Metanet Frame Len Bytes) • In a shared NPU case: • MR will not receive the Ethernet header or trailer • Type field will be zeroed out and look like it is part of the Frame Length. • Destination MPE should be id of MR MPE receiving packet

  21. IPv4 MR Internal Header Notes • Input data to Parse is MN Frame Offset and Length • Output data from Parse is IP Pkt Offset and Length • If there is a MN Internal Header, Parse basically consumes it. • Hdr Format needs to start at the beginning of the IP Header and re-write headers upward in the Buffer. • If Parse receives a !Reclassify frame/pkt from the CP, • it should not decrement the TTL. • Assume this was done on the first trip through the MR. • it should not generate exceptions again. • For Frame/Pkt from CP, what does Demux put in RxMI data field passed to Parse?
