====================
selftests: forwarding: Add VRF-based tests
One of the nice things about network namespaces is that they allow one
to easily create and test complex environments.
Unfortunately, these namespaces can not be used with actual switching
ASICs, as their ports can not be migrated to other network namespaces
(NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL) and most of them probably do not support the
L1-separation provided by namespaces.
However, a similar kind of flexibility can be achieved by using VRFs and
by looping the switch ports together. For example:
br0
+
vrf-h1 | vrf-h2
+ +---+----+ +
| | | |
192.0.2.1/24 + + + + 192.0.2.2/24
swp1 swp2 swp3 swp4
+ + + +
| | | |
+--------+ +--------+
The VRFs act as lightweight namespaces representing hosts connected to
the switch.
This approach for testing switch ASICs has several advantages over the
traditional method that requires multiple physical machines, to name a
few:
1. Only the device under test (DUT) is being tested without noise from
other system.
2. Ability to easily provision complex topologies. Testing bridging
between 4-ports LAGs or 8-way ECMP requires many physical links that are
not always available. With the VRF-based approach one merely needs to
loopback more ports.
These tests are written with switch ASICs in mind, but they can be run
on any Linux box using veth pairs to emulate physical loopbacks.
v2:
* Order local variables declaration according to function arguments
order (Petr)
v1:
* Change location to net/forwarding instead of forwarding/
* Add ability to pause on failure
* Add ability to pause on cleanup
* Make configuration file optional
* Make ping/ping6/mz configurable
* Add more tc tests

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
