4IPsec Security Gateway Sample Application
5=========================================
6
7The IPsec Security Gateway application is an example of a "real world"
8application using DPDK cryptodev framework.
9
10Overview
11--------
12
13The application demonstrates the implementation of a Security Gateway
14(not IPsec compliant, see the Constraints section below) using DPDK based on RFC4301,
15RFC4303, RFC3602 and RFC2404.
16
17Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is not implemented, so only manual setting of
18Security Policies and Security Associations is supported.
19
20The Security Policies (SP) are implemented as ACL rules, the Security
21Associations (SA) are stored in a table and the routing is implemented
22using LPM.
23
24The application classifies the ports as *Protected* and *Unprotected*.
25Thus, traffic received on an Unprotected or Protected port is consider
26Inbound or Outbound respectively.
27
28The application also supports complete IPsec protocol offload to hardware
29(Look aside crypto accelerator or using ethernet device). It also support
30inline ipsec processing by the supported ethernet device during transmission.
31These modes can be selected during the SA creation configuration.
32
33In case of complete protocol offload, the processing of headers(ESP and outer
34IP header) is done by the hardware and the application does not need to
35add/remove them during outbound/inbound processing.
36
37For inline offloaded outbound traffic, the application will not do the LPM
38lookup for routing, as the port on which the packet has to be forwarded will be
39part of the SA. Security parameters will be configured on that port only, and
40sending the packet on other ports could result in unencrypted packets being
41sent out.
42
43The Path for IPsec Inbound traffic is:
44
45*  Read packets from the port.
46*  Classify packets between IPv4 and ESP.
47*  Perform Inbound SA lookup for ESP packets based on their SPI.
48*  Perform Verification/Decryption (Not needed in case of inline ipsec).
49*  Remove ESP and outer IP header (Not needed in case of protocol offload).
50*  Inbound SP check using ACL of decrypted packets and any other IPv4 packets.
51*  Routing.
52*  Write packet to port.
53
54The Path for the IPsec Outbound traffic is:
55
56*  Read packets from the port.
57*  Perform Outbound SP check using ACL of all IPv4 traffic.
58*  Perform Outbound SA lookup for packets that need IPsec protection.
59*  Add ESP and outer IP header (Not needed in case protocol offload).
60*  Perform Encryption/Digest (Not needed in case of inline ipsec).
61*  Routing.
62*  Write packet to port.
63
64
65Constraints
66-----------
67
68*  No IPv6 options headers.
69*  No AH mode.
70*  Supported algorithms: AES-CBC, AES-CTR, AES-GCM, 3DES-CBC, HMAC-SHA1 and NULL.
71*  Each SA must be handle by a unique lcore (*1 RX queue per port*).
72
73Compiling the Application
74-------------------------
75
76To compile the sample application see :doc:`compiling`.
77
78The application is located in the ``ipsec-secgw`` sub-directory.
79
80#. [Optional] Build the application for debugging:
81   This option adds some extra flags, disables compiler optimizations and
82   is verbose::
83
84       make DEBUG=1
85
86
87Running the Application
88-----------------------
89
90The application has a number of command line options::
91
92
93   ./build/ipsec-secgw [EAL options] --
94                        -p PORTMASK -P -u PORTMASK -j FRAMESIZE
95                        -l -w REPLAY_WINOW_SIZE -e -a
96                        --config (port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore]
97                        --single-sa SAIDX
98                        --rxoffload MASK
99                        --txoffload MASK
100                        --mtu MTU
101                        --reassemble NUM
102                        -f CONFIG_FILE_PATH
103
104Where:
105
106*   ``-p PORTMASK``: Hexadecimal bitmask of ports to configure.
107
108*   ``-P``: *optional*. Sets all ports to promiscuous mode so that packets are
109    accepted regardless of the packet's Ethernet MAC destination address.
110    Without this option, only packets with the Ethernet MAC destination address
111    set to the Ethernet address of the port are accepted (default is enabled).
112
113*   ``-u PORTMASK``: hexadecimal bitmask of unprotected ports
114
115*   ``-j FRAMESIZE``: *optional*. data buffer size (in bytes),
116    in other words maximum data size for one segment.
117    Packets with length bigger then FRAMESIZE still can be received,
118    but will be segmented.
119    Default value: RTE_MBUF_DEFAULT_BUF_SIZE (2176)
120    Minimum value: RTE_MBUF_DEFAULT_BUF_SIZE (2176)
121    Maximum value: UINT16_MAX (65535).
122
123*   ``-l``: enables code-path that uses librte_ipsec.
124
125*   ``-w REPLAY_WINOW_SIZE``: specifies the IPsec sequence number replay window
126    size for each Security Association (available only with librte_ipsec
127    code path).
128
129*   ``-e``: enables Security Association extended sequence number processing
130    (available only with librte_ipsec code path).
131
132*   ``-a``: enables Security Association sequence number atomic behavior
133    (available only with librte_ipsec code path).
134
135*   ``--config (port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore)]``: determines which queues
136    from which ports are mapped to which cores.
137
138*   ``--single-sa SAIDX``: use a single SA for outbound traffic, bypassing the SP
139    on both Inbound and Outbound. This option is meant for debugging/performance
140    purposes.
141
142*   ``--rxoffload MASK``: RX HW offload capabilities to enable/use on this port
143    (bitmask of DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_* values). It is an optional parameter and
144    allows user to disable some of the RX HW offload capabilities.
145    By default all HW RX offloads are enabled.
146
147*   ``--txoffload MASK``: TX HW offload capabilities to enable/use on this port
148    (bitmask of DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_* values). It is an optional parameter and
149    allows user to disable some of the TX HW offload capabilities.
150    By default all HW TX offloads are enabled.
151
152*   ``--mtu MTU``: MTU value (in bytes) on all attached ethernet ports.
153    Outgoing packets with length bigger then MTU will be fragmented.
154    Incoming packets with length bigger then MTU will be discarded.
155    Default value: 1500.
156
157*   ``--reassemble NUM``: max number of entries in reassemble fragment table.
158    Zero value disables reassembly functionality.
159    Default value: 0.
160
161*   ``-f CONFIG_FILE_PATH``: the full path of text-based file containing all
162    configuration items for running the application (See Configuration file
163    syntax section below). ``-f CONFIG_FILE_PATH`` **must** be specified.
164    **ONLY** the UNIX format configuration file is accepted.
165
166
167The mapping of lcores to port/queues is similar to other l3fwd applications.
168
169For example, given the following command line::
170
171    ./build/ipsec-secgw -l 20,21 -n 4 --socket-mem 0,2048       \
172           --vdev "crypto_null" -- -p 0xf -P -u 0x3      \
173           --config="(0,0,20),(1,0,20),(2,0,21),(3,0,21)"       \
174           -f /path/to/config_file                              \
175
176where each options means:
177
178*   The ``-l`` option enables cores 20 and 21.
179
180*   The ``-n`` option sets memory 4 channels.
181
182*   The ``--socket-mem`` to use 2GB on socket 1.
183
184*   The ``--vdev "crypto_null"`` option creates virtual NULL cryptodev PMD.
185
186*   The ``-p`` option enables ports (detected) 0, 1, 2 and 3.
187
188*   The ``-P`` option enables promiscuous mode.
189
190*   The ``-u`` option sets ports 1 and 2 as unprotected, leaving 2 and 3 as protected.
191
192*   The ``--config`` option enables one queue per port with the following mapping:
193
194    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
195    | **Port** | **Queue** | **lcore** | **Description**                       |
196    |          |           |           |                                       |
197    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
198    | 0        | 0         | 20        | Map queue 0 from port 0 to lcore 20.  |
199    |          |           |           |                                       |
200    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
201    | 1        | 0         | 20        | Map queue 0 from port 1 to lcore 20.  |
202    |          |           |           |                                       |
203    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
204    | 2        | 0         | 21        | Map queue 0 from port 2 to lcore 21.  |
205    |          |           |           |                                       |
206    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
207    | 3        | 0         | 21        | Map queue 0 from port 3 to lcore 21.  |
208    |          |           |           |                                       |
209    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
210
211*   The ``-f /path/to/config_file`` option enables the application read and
212    parse the configuration file specified, and configures the application
213    with a given set of SP, SA and Routing entries accordingly. The syntax of
214    the configuration file will be explained below in more detail. Please
215    **note** the parser only accepts UNIX format text file. Other formats
216    such as DOS/MAC format will cause a parse error.
217
218Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running
219applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
220
221The application would do a best effort to "map" crypto devices to cores, with
222hardware devices having priority. Basically, hardware devices if present would
223be assigned to a core before software ones.
224This means that if the application is using a single core and both hardware
225and software crypto devices are detected, hardware devices will be used.
226
227A way to achieve the case where you want to force the use of virtual crypto
228devices is to whitelist the Ethernet devices needed and therefore implicitly
229blacklisting all hardware crypto devices.
230
231For example, something like the following command line:
232
233.. code-block:: console
234
235    ./build/ipsec-secgw -l 20,21 -n 4 --socket-mem 0,2048 \
236            -w 81:00.0 -w 81:00.1 -w 81:00.2 -w 81:00.3 \
237            --vdev "crypto_aesni_mb" --vdev "crypto_null" \
238	    -- \
239            -p 0xf -P -u 0x3 --config="(0,0,20),(1,0,20),(2,0,21),(3,0,21)" \
240            -f sample.cfg
241
242
243Configurations
244--------------
245
246The following sections provide the syntax of configurations to initialize
247your SP, SA, Routing and Neighbour tables.
248Configurations shall be specified in the configuration file to be passed to
249the application. The file is then parsed by the application. The successful
250parsing will result in the appropriate rules being applied to the tables
251accordingly.
252
253
254Configuration File Syntax
255~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
256
257As mention in the overview, the Security Policies are ACL rules.
258The application parsers the rules specified in the configuration file and
259passes them to the ACL table, and replicates them per socket in use.
260
261Following are the configuration file syntax.
262
263General rule syntax
264^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
265
266The parse treats one line in the configuration file as one configuration
267item (unless the line concatenation symbol exists). Every configuration
268item shall follow the syntax of either SP, SA, Routing or Neighbour
269rules specified below.
270
271The configuration parser supports the following special symbols:
272
273 * Comment symbol **#**. Any character from this symbol to the end of
274   line is treated as comment and will not be parsed.
275
276 * Line concatenation symbol **\\**. This symbol shall be placed in the end
277   of the line to be concatenated to the line below. Multiple lines'
278   concatenation is supported.
279

703Test directory
704--------------
705
706The test directory contains scripts for testing the various encryption
707algorithms.
708
709The purpose of the scripts is to automate ipsec-secgw testing
710using another system running linux as a DUT.
711
712The user must setup the following environment variables:
713
714*   ``SGW_PATH``: path to the ipsec-secgw binary to test.
715
716*   ``REMOTE_HOST``: IP address/hostname of the DUT.
717
718*   ``REMOTE_IFACE``: interface name for the test-port on the DUT.
719
720*   ``ETH_DEV``: ethernet device to be used on the SUT by DPDK ('-w <pci-id>')
721
722Also the user can optionally setup:
723
724*   ``SGW_LCORE``: lcore to run ipsec-secgw on (default value is 0)
725
726*   ``CRYPTO_DEV``: crypto device to be used ('-w <pci-id>'). If none specified
727    appropriate vdevs will be created by the script
728
729Note that most of the tests require the appropriate crypto PMD/device to be
730available.
731
732Server configuration
733~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
734
735Two servers are required for the tests, SUT and DUT.
736
737Make sure the user from the SUT can ssh to the DUT without entering the password.
738To enable this feature keys must be setup on the DUT.
739
740``ssh-keygen`` will make a private & public key pair on the SUT.
741
742``ssh-copy-id`` <user name>@<target host name> on the SUT will copy the public
743key to the DUT. It will ask for credentials so that it can upload the public key.
744
745The SUT and DUT are connected through at least 2 NIC ports.
746
747One NIC port is expected to be managed by linux on both machines and will be
748used as a control path.
749
750The second NIC port (test-port) should be bound to DPDK on the SUT, and should
751be managed by linux on the DUT.
752
753The script starts ``ipsec-secgw`` with 2 NIC devices: ``test-port`` and
754``tap vdev``.
755
756It then configures the local tap interface and the remote interface and IPsec
757policies in the following way:
758
759Traffic going over the test-port in both directions has to be protected by IPsec.
760
761Traffic going over the TAP port in both directions does not have to be protected.
762
763i.e:
764
765DUT OS(NIC1)--(IPsec)-->(NIC1)ipsec-secgw(TAP)--(plain)-->(TAP)SUT OS
766
767SUT OS(TAP)--(plain)-->(TAP)psec-secgw(NIC1)--(IPsec)-->(NIC1)DUT OS
768
769It then tries to perform some data transfer using the scheme described above.
