Subject: [V3 1/2] net: extend VXLAN header to support more extensions
Date: Wed, 5 Jun 2024 11:09:52 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240605080953.534998-2-gavinl@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240605080953.534998-1-gavinl@nvidia.com>
VXLAN and VXLAN-GPE were supported with similar header structures.
In order to add VXLAN-GBP, which is another extension to VXLAN, both
extensions are merged in the original VXLAN header structure for an easier
usage. More VXLAN extensions may be added in the future in the same single
structure.
VXLAN and VXLAN-GBP use the same UDP port (4789), while VXLAN-GPE uses a
different port (4790).
The three protocols have the same header length and overall a similar
header structure as below.

Figure 3: VXLAN-GBP Extension
Both GPE and GBP are extending VXLAN by using some reserved bits.
It means the packets can be processed with the same pattern and most of
the code can be reused.
The old field names are kept with the use of anonymous unions.
The Group Policy ID (GBP) and the Next Protocol (GPE) fields are
overlapping so they are in a union as well.
Another improvement is defining and documenting each bit.
Instead of adding flow items, a single VXLAN flow item is more flexible
as it uses the same header anyway.
GBP can be matches with the G bit.
GPE can be matched with the UDP port number.
VXLAN-GPE flow item and specific header are marked as deprecated.
A removal of the deprecated structures and macros may be proposed later.
