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 accelarator 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.
-* Remove ESP and outer IP header
+* 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.
* 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.
-* Perform Encryption/Digest.
+* 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.
* No IPv6 options headers.
* No AH mode.
-* Currently only EAS-CBC, HMAC-SHA1 and NULL.
+* Supported algorithms: AES-CBC, AES-CTR, AES-GCM, HMAC-SHA1 and NULL.
* Each SA must be handle by a unique lcore (*1 RX queue per port*).
* No chained mbufs.

Compiling the Application
-------------------------
-To compile the application:
-
-#. Go to the sample application directory::
-
- export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
- cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/ipsec-secgw
+To compile the sample application see :doc:`compiling`.
-#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example::
-
-
- export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
-
- See the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values.
-
-#. Build the application::
-
- make
+The application is located in the ``rpsec-secgw`` sub-directory.
#. [Optional] Build the application for debugging:
This option adds some extra flags, disables compiler optimizations and
./build/ipsec-secgw [EAL options] --
- -p PORTMASK -P -u PORTMASK
+ -p PORTMASK -P -u PORTMASK -j FRAMESIZE
--config (port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore]
--single-sa SAIDX
- --ep0|--ep1
+ -f CONFIG_FILE_PATH
Where:
* ``-u PORTMASK``: hexadecimal bitmask of unprotected ports
+* ``-j FRAMESIZE``: *optional*. Enables jumbo frames with the maximum size
+ specified as FRAMESIZE. If an invalid value is provided as FRAMESIZE
+ then the default value 9000 is used.
+
* ``--config (port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore)]``: determines which queues
from which ports are mapped to which cores.
on both Inbound and Outbound. This option is meant for debugging/performance
purposes.
-* ``--ep0``: configure the app as Endpoint 0.
+* ``-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.
-* ``--ep1``: configure the app as Endpoint 1.
-
-Either one of ``--ep0`` or ``--ep1`` **must** be specified.
-The main purpose of these options is to easily configure two systems
-back-to-back that would forward traffic through an IPsec tunnel (see
-:ref:`figure_ipsec_endpoints`).
The mapping of lcores to port/queues is similar to other l3fwd applications.
For example, given the following command line::
./build/ipsec-secgw -l 20,21 -n 4 --socket-mem 0,2048 \
- --vdev "cryptodev_null_pmd" -- -p 0xf -P -u 0x3 \
- --config="(0,0,20),(1,0,20),(2,0,21),(3,0,21)" --ep0 \
+ --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 \
where each options means:
* The ``--socket-mem`` to use 2GB on socket 1.
-* The ``--vdev "cryptodev_null_pmd"`` option creates virtual NULL cryptodev PMD.
+* The ``--vdev "crypto_null"`` option creates virtual NULL cryptodev PMD.
* The ``-p`` option enables ports (detected) 0, 1, 2 and 3.
| | | | |
+----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
-* The ``--ep0`` options configures the app with a given set of SP, SA and Routing
- entries as explained below in more detail.
+* 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.
Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running
applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
./build/ipsec-secgw -l 20,21 -n 4 --socket-mem 0,2048 \

Configurations
--------------
-The following sections provide some details on the default values used to
-initialize the SP, SA and Routing tables.
-Currently all configuration information is hard coded into the application.
+The following sections provide the syntax of configurations to initialize
+your SP, SA and Routing 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.
+
-The following image illustrate a few of the concepts regarding IPSec, such
-as protected/unprotected and inbound/outbound traffic, from the point of
-view of two back-to-back endpoints:
+Configuration File Syntax
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-.. _figure_ipsec_endpoints:
+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.
-.. figure:: img/ipsec_endpoints.*
+Following are the configuration file syntax.
- IPSec Inbound/Outbound traffic
+General rule syntax
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Note that the above image only displays unidirectional traffic per port
-for illustration purposes.
-The application supports bidirectional traffic on all ports,
+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, or Routing rules specified
+below.
+The configuration parser supports the following special symbols:
-Security Policy Initialization
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ * Comment symbol **#**. Any character from this symbol to the end of
+ line is treated as comment and will not be parsed.
-As mention in the overview, the Security Policies are ACL rules.
-The application defines two ACLs, one each of Inbound and Outbound, and
-it replicates them per socket in use.
-
-Following are the default rules which show only the relevant information,
-assuming ANY value is valid for the fields not mentioned (src ip, proto,
-src/dst ports).

-For Endpoint 1, we use the same policies in reverse, meaning the Inbound SP
-entries are set as Outbound and vice versa.
-
-
-Security Association Initialization
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The SAs are kept in a array table.
-
-For Inbound, the SPI is used as index modulo the table size.
-This means that on a table for 100 SA, SPI 5 and 105 would use the same index
-and that is not currently supported.
-
-Notice that it is not an issue for Outbound traffic as we store the index and
-not the SPI in the Security Policy.
-
-All SAs configured with AES-CBC and HMAC-SHA1 share the same values for cipher
-block size and key, and authentication digest size and key.
