IPsec Security Gateway Sample Application
=========================================

The IPsec Security Gateway application is an example of a "real world"
application using DPDK cryptodev framework.

Overview
--------

The application demonstrates the implementation of a Security Gateway
(not IPsec compliant, see the Constraints section below) using DPDK based on RFC4301,
RFC4303, RFC3602 and RFC2404.

Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is not implemented, so only manual setting of
Security Policies and Security Associations is supported.

The Security Policies (SP) are implemented as ACL rules, the Security
Associations (SA) are stored in a table and the routing is implemented
using LPM.

The application classifies the ports as *Protected* and *Unprotected*.
Thus, traffic received on an Unprotected or Protected port is consider
Inbound or Outbound respectively.

The application also supports complete IPsec protocol offload to hardware
(Look aside crypto accelerator or using ethernet device). It also support
inline ipsec processing by the supported ethernet device during transmission.
These modes can be selected during the SA creation configuration.

In case of complete protocol offload, the processing of headers(ESP and outer
IP header) is done by the hardware and the application does not need to
add/remove them during outbound/inbound processing.

For inline offloaded outbound traffic, the application will not do the LPM
lookup for routing, as the port on which the packet has to be forwarded will be
part of the SA. Security parameters will be configured on that port only, and
sending the packet on other ports could result in unencrypted packets being
sent out.

The Path for IPsec Inbound traffic is:

*  Read packets from the port.
*  Classify packets between IPv4 and ESP.
*  Perform Inbound SA lookup for ESP packets based on their SPI.
*  Perform Verification/Decryption (Not needed in case of inline ipsec).
*  Remove ESP and outer IP header (Not needed in case of protocol offload).
*  Inbound SP check using ACL of decrypted packets and any other IPv4 packets.
*  Routing.
*  Write packet to port.

The Path for the IPsec Outbound traffic is:

*  Read packets from the port.
*  Perform Outbound SP check using ACL of all IPv4 traffic.
*  Perform Outbound SA lookup for packets that need IPsec protection.
*  Add ESP and outer IP header (Not needed in case protocol offload).
*  Perform Encryption/Digest (Not needed in case of inline ipsec).
*  Routing.
*  Write packet to port.

The application supports two modes of operation: poll mode and event mode.

* In the poll mode a core receives packets from statically configured list
  of eth ports and eth ports' queues.

* In the event mode a core receives packets as events. After packet processing
  is done core submits them back as events to an event device. This enables
  multicore scaling and HW assisted scheduling by making use of the event device
  capabilities. The event mode configuration is predefined. All packets reaching
  given eth port will arrive at the same event queue. All event queues are mapped
  to all event ports. This allows all cores to receive traffic from all ports.
  Since the underlying event device might have varying capabilities, the worker
  threads can be drafted differently to maximize performance. For example, if an
  event device - eth device pair has Tx internal port, then application can call
  rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_enqueue() instead of regular rte_event_enqueue_burst().
  So a thread which assumes that the device pair has internal port will not be the
  right solution for another pair. The infrastructure added for the event mode aims
  to help application to have multiple worker threads by maximizing performance from
  every type of event device without affecting existing paths/use cases. The worker
  to be used will be determined by the operating conditions and the underlying device
  capabilities.
  **Currently the application provides non-burst, internal port worker threads.**
  It also provides infrastructure for non-internal port
  however does not define any worker threads.

  Event mode also supports event vectorization. The event devices, ethernet device
  pairs which support the capability ``RTE_EVENT_ETH_RX_ADAPTER_CAP_EVENT_VECTOR`` can
  aggregate packets based on flow characteristics and generate a ``rte_event``
  containing ``rte_event_vector``.
  The aggregation size and timeout can be given using command line options vector-size
  (default vector-size is 16) and vector-tmo (default vector-tmo is 102400ns).
  By default event vectorization is disabled and it can be enabled using event-vector
  option.
  For the event devices, crypto device pairs which support the capability
  ``RTE_EVENT_CRYPTO_ADAPTER_CAP_EVENT_VECTOR`` vector aggregation
  could also be enable using event-vector option.

Additionally the event mode introduces two submodes of processing packets:

* Driver submode: This submode has bare minimum changes in the application to support
  IPsec. There are no lookups, no routing done in the application. And for inline
  protocol use case, the worker thread resembles l2fwd worker thread as the IPsec
  processing is done entirely in HW. This mode can be used to benchmark the raw
  performance of the HW. The driver submode is selected with --single-sa option
  (used also by poll mode). When --single-sa option is used in conjunction with event
  mode then index passed to --single-sa is ignored.

* App submode: This submode has all the features currently implemented with the
  application (non librte_ipsec path). All the lookups, routing follows existing
  methods and report numbers that can be compared against regular poll mode
  benchmark numbers.

Constraints
-----------

*  No IPv6 options headers.
*  No AH mode.
*  Supported algorithms: AES-CBC, AES-CTR, AES-GCM, 3DES-CBC, DES-CBC,
   HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-SHA256, AES-GMAC, AES_CTR, AES_XCBC_MAC, AES_CCM,
   CHACHA20_POLY1305 and NULL.
*  Each SA must be handle by a unique lcore (*1 RX queue per port*).

Compiling the Application
-------------------------

To compile the sample application see :doc:`compiling`.

The application is located in the ``ipsec-secgw`` sub-directory.


Running the Application
-----------------------

The application has a number of command line options::


   ./<build_dir>/examples/dpdk-ipsec-secgw [EAL options] --
                        -p PORTMASK -P -u PORTMASK -j FRAMESIZE

                        --transfer-mode MODE
                        --event-schedule-type TYPE
                        --rxoffload MASK
                        --txoffload MASK
                        --reassemble NUM
                        --mtu MTU
                        --frag-ttl FRAG_TTL_NS
                        --desc-nb NUMBER_OF_DESC

Where:

*   ``-p PORTMASK``: Hexadecimal bitmask of ports to configure.

*   ``-P``: *optional*. Sets all ports to promiscuous mode so that packets are
    accepted regardless of the packet's Ethernet MAC destination address.
    Without this option, only packets with the Ethernet MAC destination address
    set to the Ethernet address of the port are accepted (default is enabled).

*   ``-u PORTMASK``: hexadecimal bitmask of unprotected ports

*   ``-j FRAMESIZE``: *optional*. data buffer size (in bytes),
    in other words maximum data size for one segment.
    Packets with length bigger then FRAMESIZE still can be received,
    but will be segmented.
    Default value: RTE_MBUF_DEFAULT_BUF_SIZE (2176)
    Minimum value: RTE_MBUF_DEFAULT_BUF_SIZE (2176)
    Maximum value: UINT16_MAX (65535).

*   ``-l``: enables code-path that uses librte_ipsec.

*   ``-w REPLAY_WINDOW_SIZE``: specifies the IPsec sequence number replay window
    size for each Security Association (available only with librte_ipsec
    code path).

*   ``-e``: enables Security Association extended sequence number processing
    (available only with librte_ipsec code path).

*   ``-a``: enables Security Association sequence number atomic behavior
    (available only with librte_ipsec code path).

*   ``-c``: specifies the SAD cache size. Stores the most recent SA in a per
    lcore cache. Cache represents flat array containing SA's indexed by SPI.
    Zero value disables cache.
    Default value: 128.

*   ``-t``: specifies the statistics screen update interval in seconds. If set
    to zero or omitted statistics screen is disabled.
    Default value: 0.

*   ``-s``: sets number of mbufs in packet pool, if not provided number of mbufs
    will be calculated based on number of cores, eth ports and crypto queues.

*   ``-f CONFIG_FILE_PATH``: the full path of text-based file containing all
    configuration items for running the application (See Configuration file
    syntax section below). ``-f CONFIG_FILE_PATH`` **must** be specified.
    **ONLY** the UNIX format configuration file is accepted.

*   ``--config (port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore)]``: in poll mode determines
    which queues from which ports are mapped to which cores. In event mode this
    option is not used as packets are dynamically scheduled to cores by HW.

*   ``--single-sa SAIDX``: in poll mode use a single SA for outbound traffic,
    bypassing the SP on both Inbound and Outbound. This option is meant for
    debugging/performance purposes. In event mode selects driver submode, SA index
    value is ignored.

*   ``--cryptodev_mask MASK``: hexadecimal bitmask of the crypto devices
    to configure.

*   ``--transfer-mode MODE``: sets operating mode of the application
    "poll"  : packet transfer via polling (default)
    "event" : Packet transfer via event device

*   ``--event-schedule-type TYPE``: queue schedule type, applies only when
    --transfer-mode is set to event.
    "ordered"  : Ordered (default)
    "atomic"   : Atomic
    "parallel" : Parallel
    When --event-schedule-type is set as RTE_SCHED_TYPE_ORDERED/ATOMIC, event
    device will ensure the ordering. Ordering will be lost when tried in PARALLEL.

*   ``--rxoffload MASK``: RX HW offload capabilities to enable/use on this port
    (bitmask of RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_* values). It is an optional parameter and
    allows user to disable some of the RX HW offload capabilities.
    By default all HW RX offloads are enabled.

*   ``--txoffload MASK``: TX HW offload capabilities to enable/use on this port
    (bitmask of RTE_ETH_TX_OFFLOAD_* values). It is an optional parameter and
    allows user to disable some of the TX HW offload capabilities.
    By default all HW TX offloads are enabled.

*   ``--reassemble NUM``: max number of entries in reassemble fragment table.
    Zero value disables reassembly functionality.
    Default value: 0.

*   ``--mtu MTU``: MTU value (in bytes) on all attached ethernet ports.
    Outgoing packets with length bigger then MTU will be fragmented.
    Incoming packets with length bigger then MTU will be discarded.
    Default value: 1500.

*   ``--frag-ttl FRAG_TTL_NS``: fragment lifetime (in nanoseconds).
    If packet is not reassembled within this time, received fragments
    will be discarded. Fragment lifetime should be decreased when
    there is a high fragmented traffic loss in high bandwidth networks.
    Should be lower for low number of reassembly buckets.
    Valid values: from 1 ns to 10 s. Default value: 10000000 (10 s).

*   ``--per-port-pool``: Enable per ethdev port pktmbuf pool.
     By default one packet mbuf pool per socket is created and configured
     via Rx queue setup.

*   ``--vector-pool-sz``: Number of buffers in vector pool.
    By default, vector pool size depeneds on packet pool size
    and size of each vector.

*   ``--desc-nb NUMBER_OF_DESC``: Number of descriptors per queue pair.
    Default value: 2048.

The mapping of lcores to port/queues is similar to other l3fwd applications.

For example, given the following command line to run application in poll mode::

    ./<build_dir>/examples/dpdk-ipsec-secgw -l 20,21 -n 4 --socket-mem 0,2048       \
           --vdev "crypto_null" -- -p 0xf -P -u 0x3             \
           --config="(0,0,20),(1,0,20),(2,0,21),(3,0,21)"       \
           -f /path/to/config_file --transfer-mode poll         \

where each option means:

*   The ``-l`` option enables cores 20 and 21.

*   The ``-n`` option sets memory 4 channels.

*   The ``--socket-mem`` to use 2GB on socket 1.

*   The ``--vdev "crypto_null"`` option creates virtual NULL cryptodev PMD.

*   The ``-p`` option enables ports (detected) 0, 1, 2 and 3.

*   The ``-P`` option enables promiscuous mode.

*   The ``-u`` option sets ports 0 and 1 as unprotected, leaving 2 and 3 as protected.

*   The ``--config`` option enables one queue per port with the following mapping:

    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
    | **Port** | **Queue** | **lcore** | **Description**                       |
    |          |           |           |                                       |
    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
    | 0        | 0         | 20        | Map queue 0 from port 0 to lcore 20.  |
    |          |           |           |                                       |
    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
    | 1        | 0         | 20        | Map queue 0 from port 1 to lcore 20.  |
    |          |           |           |                                       |
    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
    | 2        | 0         | 21        | Map queue 0 from port 2 to lcore 21.  |
    |          |           |           |                                       |
    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
    | 3        | 0         | 21        | Map queue 0 from port 3 to lcore 21.  |
    |          |           |           |                                       |
    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+

*   The ``-f /path/to/config_file`` option enables the application read and
    parse the configuration file specified, and configures the application
    with a given set of SP, SA and Routing entries accordingly. The syntax of
    the configuration file will be explained below in more detail. Please
    **note** the parser only accepts UNIX format text file. Other formats
    such as DOS/MAC format will cause a parse error.

*   The ``--transfer-mode`` option selects poll mode for processing packets.

Similarly for example, given the following command line to run application in
event app mode::

    ./<build_dir>/examples/dpdk-ipsec-secgw -c 0x3 -- -P -p 0x3 -u 0x1       \
           -f /path/to/config_file --transfer-mode event \
           --event-schedule-type parallel --event-vector --vector-size 32    \
           --vector-tmo 102400                           \

where each option means:

*   The ``-c`` option selects cores 0 and 1 to run on.

*   The ``-P`` option enables promiscuous mode.

*   The ``-p`` option enables ports (detected) 0 and 1.

*   The ``-u`` option sets ports 0 as unprotected, leaving 1 as protected.

*   The ``-f /path/to/config_file`` option has the same behavior as in poll
    mode example.

*   The ``--transfer-mode`` option selects event mode for processing packets.

*   The ``--event-schedule-type`` option selects parallel ordering of event queues.

*   The ``--event-vector`` option enables event vectorization.

*   The ``--vector-size`` option specifies max vector size.

*   The ``--vector-tmo`` option specifies max timeout in nanoseconds for vectorization.


Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running
applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.

The application would do a best effort to "map" crypto devices to cores, with
hardware devices having priority. Basically, hardware devices if present would
be assigned to a core before software ones.
This means that if the application is using a single core and both hardware
and software crypto devices are detected, hardware devices will be used.

A way to achieve the case where you want to force the use of virtual crypto
devices is to only use the Ethernet devices needed (via the allow flag)
and therefore implicitly blocking all hardware crypto devices.

For example, something like the following command line:

.. code-block:: console

    ./<build_dir>/examples/dpdk-ipsec-secgw -l 20,21 -n 4 --socket-mem 0,2048 \
            -a 81:00.0 -a 81:00.1 -a 81:00.2 -a 81:00.3 \
            --vdev "crypto_aesni_mb" --vdev "crypto_null" \
	    -- \
            -p 0xf -P -u 0x3 --config="(0,0,20),(1,0,20),(2,0,21),(3,0,21)" \
            -f sample.cfg


Configurations
--------------

The following sections provide the syntax of configurations to initialize
your SP, SA, Routing, Flow and Neighbour tables.
Configurations shall be specified in the configuration file to be passed to
the application. The file is then parsed by the application. The successful
parsing will result in the appropriate rules being applied to the tables
accordingly.


Configuration File Syntax
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As mention in the overview, the Security Policies are ACL rules.
The application parsers the rules specified in the configuration file and
passes them to the ACL table, and replicates them per socket in use.

Following are the configuration file syntax.

General rule syntax
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The parse treats one line in the configuration file as one configuration
item (unless the line concatenation symbol exists). Every configuration
item shall follow the syntax of either SP, SA, Routing, Flow or Neighbour
rules specified below.

The configuration parser supports the following special symbols:

 * Comment symbol **#**. Any character from this symbol to the end of
   line is treated as comment and will not be parsed.

 * Line concatenation symbol **\\**. This symbol shall be placed in the end
   of the line to be concatenated to the line below. Multiple lines'
   concatenation is supported.


SP rule syntax
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The SP rule syntax is shown as follows:

.. code-block:: console

Test directory
--------------

The test directory contains scripts for testing the various encryption
algorithms.

The purpose of the scripts is to automate ipsec-secgw testing
using another system running linux as a DUT.

The user must setup the following environment variables:

*   ``SGW_PATH``: path to the ipsec-secgw binary to test.

*   ``REMOTE_HOST``: IP address/hostname of the DUT.

*   ``REMOTE_IFACE``: interface name for the test-port on the DUT.

*   ``ETH_DEV``: ethernet device to be used on the SUT by DPDK ('-a <pci-id>')

Also the user can optionally setup:

*   ``SGW_LCORE``: lcore to run ipsec-secgw on (default value is 0)

*   ``CRYPTO_DEV``: crypto device to be used ('-a <pci-id>'). If none specified
    appropriate vdevs will be created by the script

Scripts can be used for multiple test scenarios. To check all available
options run:

.. code-block:: console

    /bin/bash run_test.sh -h

Note that most of the tests require the appropriate crypto PMD/device to be
available.

Server configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two servers are required for the tests, SUT and DUT.

Make sure the user from the SUT can ssh to the DUT without entering the password.
To enable this feature keys must be setup on the DUT.

``ssh-keygen`` will make a private & public key pair on the SUT.

``ssh-copy-id`` <user name>@<target host name> on the SUT will copy the public
key to the DUT. It will ask for credentials so that it can upload the public key.

The SUT and DUT are connected through at least 2 NIC ports.

One NIC port is expected to be managed by linux on both machines and will be
used as a control path.

The second NIC port (test-port) should be bound to DPDK on the SUT, and should
be managed by linux on the DUT.

The script starts ``ipsec-secgw`` with 2 NIC devices: ``test-port`` and
``tap vdev``.

It then configures the local tap interface and the remote interface and IPsec
policies in the following way:

Traffic going over the test-port in both directions has to be protected by IPsec.

Traffic going over the TAP port in both directions does not have to be protected.

i.e:

DUT OS(NIC1)--(IPsec)-->(NIC1)ipsec-secgw(TAP)--(plain)-->(TAP)SUT OS

SUT OS(TAP)--(plain)-->(TAP)psec-secgw(NIC1)--(IPsec)-->(NIC1)DUT OS

It then tries to perform some data transfer using the scheme described above.

Usage
~~~~~

In the ipsec-secgw/test directory run

/bin/bash run_test.sh <options> <ipsec_mode>

Available options:

*   ``-4`` Perform tests with use of IPv4. One or both [-46] options needs to be
    selected.

*   ``-6`` Perform tests with use of IPv6. One or both [-46] options needs to be
    selected.

*   ``-m`` Add IPSec tunnel mixed IP version tests - outer IP version different
    than inner. Inner IP version will match selected option [-46].

*   ``-i`` Run tests in inline mode. Regular tests will not be invoked.

*   ``-f`` Run tests for fallback mechanism. Regular tests will not be invoked.

*   ``-l`` Run tests in legacy mode only. It cannot be used with options [-fsc].
    On default library mode is used.

*   ``-s`` Run all tests with reassembly support. On default only tests for
    fallback mechanism use reassembly support.

*   ``-c`` Run tests with use of cpu-crypto. For inline tests it will not be
    applied. On default lookaside-none is used.

*   ``-p`` Perform packet validation tests. Option [-46] is not required.

*   ``-h`` Show usage.

If <ipsec_mode> is specified, only tests for that mode will be invoked. For the
list of available modes please refer to run_test.sh.
