  6. Types of Pkts Arriving at PLC • From Rx: • Only have a payload buf, ref_cnt == 1. • Subject to classification except mal-formed IP pkts detected by Parse. • From XScale/Plugins: • Passthrough (PT) pkt • May/May not have a hdr buf, ref_cnt >= 1. • Not processed by PLC. • Copy sends it to QM. • Non-PT pkt • Only have a payload buf at arrival, ref_cnt >= 1. • Is IP pkt. • Will be classified if it passes IP hdr validation done by Parse.

  7. PLC() PLC() { if (!ring_in.PT) { Parse(); if (dlNextBlock != BID_FREELISTMGR) Lookup(); } Copy(); } • Inside Copy(), dl_sink() is called to enqueue pkts to downstream blocks.

  8. dl_sink • Special design of dl_sink(first, last, try_action) • “first” == TRUE, means current pkt is the first one of a sequence of pkts to be sunk. • “last” == TRUE, means current pkt is the last one of a sequence of pkts to be sunk. • “try_action” == 1, drop the pkt if ring is full; otherwise try till succeeds. • dl_sink() has a return value to indicate if enqueue is successful or not. • If DL_ORDERED is defined and “first” == TRUE, thread waits for signal from previous context before enqueuing the first pkt. • If DL_ORDERED is defined and “last” == TRUE, thread passes signal to next context after euqueuing the last pkt.

  9. Parse • Functions: • Do IP Router checks (wrong ver, Hlen, Plen, cksum), count error pkts. • Decrement TTL on pkts from Rx and recompute IP cksum • Detect exceptions (expired TTL, IP option, Non-IP) • Extract lookup key • Input: • ring_in data • Output: • lookup key, dlNextBlock, eth_type, DG QID. IP DAddr (32b) IP SAddr (32b) P Tag (5b) P (3b) Proto (8b) DPort (16b) SPort (16b) Exceptions (16b) TCP Flags (12b) 140 Bit Key: RL PF and AF

  10. Parse • Operations: • If pkt is from Rx: • Read eth_type in Ethernet hdr • If eth_type != 0x0800, set NIP in exception bits. • If eth_type == 0x0806, set ARP in exception bits. • Return. • eth_type <= 0x0800. • For pkt from Rx, offset <= 0x18E; for pkt from XScale/plugins, get offset from payload buf desc. • Read 20B IP hdr. • Check for ver, Hlen, Plen. If fails, count and dlNextBlock <= BID_FREELISTMGR. Return. • If Hlen > 5, set OPT in exception bits, read IP option. • Verify cksum. If fails, count and dlNextBlock <= BID_FREELISTMGR. Return. • If pkt is from Rx and TTL <= 1, or pkt is from plugins/XScale and TTL < 1, set TTL in exception bits. • If pkt is from Rx and TTL > 1, decrement TTL, recompute cksum and write them back to dram. • Form Datagram QID using DG QID = SA[9:8] SA[6:5] DA[6:5] (Used by Copy in case of a zero QID). • Extract key from IP hdr. • If IP protocol is TCP/UDP, read 14B, and extract key from TCP/UDP hdr. • Copy Plugin Tag and In Port to lookup key.

  12. Lookup Overview • Initialization • Control Plane initializes TCAM and Route and Filter DBs • Runtime Updates • Control Plane updates to Route and Filter DBs • Design – in upcoming slides • Processing – in upcoming slides • Lookup will be written in C • There are many things about writing IXP code in “C” that I need to learn. Here are some of them: • Performing multiple memory operations in parallel and waiting on a set of signals (If needed for performance reasons) • Performing timestamp waits • Calling IDT microcode macros

  13. Lookup: Design -- Databases • Three Databases: • Route Lookup: • Unicast • Sorted by DAddr Prefix Length • Multicast • Exact match on DAddr and prefix of SAddr • Primary Filter • Filters should be sorted in the DB with higher priority filters first • Auxiliary Filter • Filters should be sorted in the DB with higher priority filters first • Priority between Primary Filter and Route Lookup • A priority will be stored with each Primary Filter • A priority will be assigned to RLs (all routes have same priority) • PF priority and RL priority compared after result is retrieved. • One of them will be selected based on this priority comparison. • Auxiliary Filters: • If matched, cause a copy of packet to be sent out according to the Aux Filter’s result.

  14. Lookup: Design -- Results • Use SRAM Bank 0 (2 MB per NPU) for Results • B0 Byte Address Range: 0x000000 – 0x1FFFFF • 21 bits • B0 Word Address Range: 0x000000 – 0x1FFFFC • 19 significant bits • 2 trailing 0’s • Store result in two parts: • 32-bit Associated Data SRAM result for Address of actual Result: • TCAM Control Bits (3b) • Done: 1b • Hit: 1b • MHit: 1b • Priority: 8b • Present for Primary Filters, for RL and Aux Filters should be 0 • SRAM B0 Word Address: 21b • 2 spare bitS if needed for anything else • 3 Words (<= 96 bits) of Result in SRAM Bank0 • Use Multi-Database Lookup (MDL) Indirect for searching all 3 DBs • Order of fields in Key is important. • Each thread will need one TCAM context

  15. Lookup Processing write KEY to TCAM use timestamp delay to wait appropriate time make delay long enough that we are as sure as possible that we will have to read the 1st word of the Results MB only once while !DoneBit // DONE Bit BUG Fix requires reading just first word read 1 word from Results Mailbox and check DoneBit done read words 2 and 3 from Results Mailbox If (PrimaryFilter AND RouteLookup results HIT) { PrimaryResult.Valid  TRUE compare priorities store higher priority result as Primary Result (read result from SRAM Bank0) } else if (PrimaryFilter results HIT) { PrimaryResult.Valid  TRUE PrimaryResults.*  PrimaryFilter.* (read result from SRAM Bank0) } else if (RouterLookup results HIT) { PrimaryResult.Valid  TRUE PrimaryResults.*  RouteLookup.* (read result from SRAM Bank0) } else PrimaryResult.Valid  False if (AuxiliaryFilter result HIT) { AuxiliaryResult.Valid  TRUE AuxiliaryResults.*  (read result from SRAM Bank0) } else AuxiliaryResult.Valid  FALSE

  20. Copy • Functions: • Drop error pkts detected by Parse. • Count and send PT pkts to QM. • Process lookup results: • When “control error” (NH_IP and NH_MAC both invalid or both valid), or “ARP request needed” (Uncast pkt with valid NH_IP but invalid NH_MAC), or “no route” (invalid PR and AR) is detected, pkt should be sent to XScale, or one of five plugins, or dropped based on user preference (dynamically configurable). • Compute MAC DAddr for IP multicast pkts. • Update total ref_cnt in paylod buf desc for each classified pkt. • If total ref_cnt == 1 and pkt goes to QM, fill in payload buf desc with NH_MAC, Stats index and EtherType. • If total ref_cnt > 1, add hdr buf to each pkt going to QM, and fill in hdr buf desc with buffer_next, packet_size, ref_cnt (=1), NH_MAC, Stats index, EtherType. • For each copy, form ring_out data and enqueue it to the outgoing ring. • Input: • ring_in data, exception bits, dlNextBlock, eth_type, DG QID, lookup results • Output: • Ring_out data

  21. Copy • Operations: • Error pkt detected by Parse (to freelist_mgr): • Construct ring_out data to Freelist_mgr • Call dl_sink(TRUE, TRUE, 0). Return. • PT pkt (to QM): • dlNextBlock <= BID_QM • Construct ring_out data to QM from ring_in data • Call dl_sink(TRUE, TRUE, 0). Return. • Classified pkt: • Pre-check: • Copy exception bits to flags. • If PR and AR are both invalid, this pkt has no route. • Set NR bit in flags. • Set dlNextBlock to user preference. • Construct ring_out data. • Call dl_sink(TRUE, TRUE, 1). Return. • Pre-process lookup results, because: • Both PR and AR can generate pkt copies to QM and XScale/plugins. • Need to know total num of copies to • Decide whether hdr buffer decs should be added to copy going to QM. • Set “last” bit in dl_sink(). • Update total ref_cnt in payload buf desc using one atomic addition. • Post-process lookup results, copy and send pkts to proper rings.
