This patch series augmented the existing GTP module to support flow
based GTP tunneling and modified the openvswitch datapath to support the
GTP vport type.
A flow based GTP net device enables that,
1) on the RX path, the outer (IP/UDP/GTP) header information could to be
stored in the metadata_dst struct, and embedded into the skb.
2) on the TX path, packets are encapsulated following instructions in
the metadata_dst field of the skb.
A flow based GTP net device can be integrated with Open vSwitch, which
allows SDN controllers to program GTP tunnels via Open vSwitch.
Open vSwitch changes are based on patch set
[PATCH] Add GTP vport based on upstream datapath
Example usage with OVS:
ovs-vsctl add-port br0 gtp-vport -- set interface gtp-vport \
ofport_request=2 type=gtp option:remote_ip=flow options:key=flow
ovs-ofctl add-flow br0
"in_port=2,tun_src=192.168.60.141,tun_id=123, \
actions=set_field:02:00:00:00:00:00->eth_src, \
set_field:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff->eth_dst,LOCAL"
ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 \
"in_port=LOCAL,actions=set_tunnel:888, \
set_field:192.168.60.141->tun_dst,2"
arp -s 10.1.1.122 02:00:00:00:00:00
