5IPsec Security Gateway Sample Application
6=========================================
7
8The IPsec Security Gateway application is an example of a "real world"
9application using DPDK cryptodev framework.
10
11Overview
12--------
13
14The application demonstrates the implementation of a Security Gateway
15(not IPsec compliant, see the Constraints section below) using DPDK based on RFC4301,
16RFC4303, RFC3602 and RFC2404.
17
18Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is not implemented, so only manual setting of
19Security Policies and Security Associations is supported.
20
21The Security Policies (SP) are implemented as ACL rules, the Security
22Associations (SA) are stored in a table and the routing is implemented
23using LPM.
24
25The application classifies the ports as *Protected* and *Unprotected*.
26Thus, traffic received on an Unprotected or Protected port is consider
27Inbound or Outbound respectively.
28
29The application also supports complete IPsec protocol offload to hardware
30(Look aside crypto accelerator or using ethernet device). It also support
31inline ipsec processing by the supported ethernet device during transmission.
32These modes can be selected during the SA creation configuration.
33
34In case of complete protocol offload, the processing of headers(ESP and outer
35IP header) is done by the hardware and the application does not need to
36add/remove them during outbound/inbound processing.
37
38For inline offloaded outbound traffic, the application will not do the LPM
39lookup for routing, as the port on which the packet has to be forwarded will be
40part of the SA. Security parameters will be configured on that port only, and
41sending the packet on other ports could result in unencrypted packets being
42sent out.
43
44The Path for IPsec Inbound traffic is:
45
46*  Read packets from the port.
47*  Classify packets between IPv4 and ESP.
48*  Perform Inbound SA lookup for ESP packets based on their SPI.
49*  Perform Verification/Decryption (Not needed in case of inline ipsec).
50*  Remove ESP and outer IP header (Not needed in case of protocol offload).
51*  Inbound SP check using ACL of decrypted packets and any other IPv4 packets.
52*  Routing.
53*  Write packet to port.
54
55The Path for the IPsec Outbound traffic is:
56
57*  Read packets from the port.
58*  Perform Outbound SP check using ACL of all IPv4 traffic.
59*  Perform Outbound SA lookup for packets that need IPsec protection.
60*  Add ESP and outer IP header (Not needed in case protocol offload).
61*  Perform Encryption/Digest (Not needed in case of inline ipsec).
62*  Routing.
63*  Write packet to port.
64
65The application supports two modes of operation: poll mode and event mode.
66
67* In the poll mode a core receives packets from statically configured list
68  of eth ports and eth ports' queues.
69
70* In the event mode a core receives packets as events. After packet processing
71  is done core submits them back as events to an event device. This enables
72  multicore scaling and HW assisted scheduling by making use of the event device
73  capabilities. The event mode configuration is predefined. All packets reaching
74  given eth port will arrive at the same event queue. All event queues are mapped
75  to all event ports. This allows all cores to receive traffic from all ports.
76  Since the underlying event device might have varying capabilities, the worker
77  threads can be drafted differently to maximize performance. For example, if an
78  event device - eth device pair has Tx internal port, then application can call
79  rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_enqueue() instead of regular rte_event_enqueue_burst().
80  So a thread which assumes that the device pair has internal port will not be the
81  right solution for another pair. The infrastructure added for the event mode aims
82  to help application to have multiple worker threads by maximizing performance from
83  every type of event device without affecting existing paths/use cases. The worker
84  to be used will be determined by the operating conditions and the underlying device
85  capabilities. **Currently the application provides non-burst, internal port worker
86  threads and supports inline protocol only.** It also provides infrastructure for
87  non-internal port however does not define any worker threads.
88
89  Event mode also supports event vectorization. The event devices, ethernet device
90  pairs which support the capability ``RTE_EVENT_ETH_RX_ADAPTER_CAP_EVENT_VECTOR`` can
91  aggregate packets based on flow characteristics and generate a ``rte_event``
92  containing ``rte_event_vector``.
93  The aggregation size and timeout can be given using command line options vector-size
94  (default vector-size is 16) and vector-tmo (default vector-tmo is 102400ns).
95  By default event vectorization is disabled and it can be enabled using event-vector
96  option.
97
98Additionally the event mode introduces two submodes of processing packets:
99
100* Driver submode: This submode has bare minimum changes in the application to support
101  IPsec. There are no lookups, no routing done in the application. And for inline
102  protocol use case, the worker thread resembles l2fwd worker thread as the IPsec
103  processing is done entirely in HW. This mode can be used to benchmark the raw
104  performance of the HW. The driver submode is selected with --single-sa option
105  (used also by poll mode). When --single-sa option is used in conjunction with event
106  mode then index passed to --single-sa is ignored.
107
108* App submode: This submode has all the features currently implemented with the
109  application (non librte_ipsec path). All the lookups, routing follows existing
110  methods and report numbers that can be compared against regular poll mode
111  benchmark numbers.
112
113Constraints
114-----------
115
116*  No IPv6 options headers.
117*  No AH mode.
118*  Supported algorithms: AES-CBC, AES-CTR, AES-GCM, 3DES-CBC, DES-CBC,
119   HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-SHA256, AES-GMAC, AES_CTR, AES_XCBC_MAC, AES_CCM,
120   CHACHA20_POLY1305 and NULL.
121*  Each SA must be handle by a unique lcore (*1 RX queue per port*).
122
123Compiling the Application
124-------------------------
125
126To compile the sample application see :doc:`compiling`.
127
128The application is located in the ``ipsec-secgw`` sub-directory.
129
130
131Running the Application
132-----------------------

155
156Where:
157
158*   ``-p PORTMASK``: Hexadecimal bitmask of ports to configure.
159
160*   ``-P``: *optional*. Sets all ports to promiscuous mode so that packets are
161    accepted regardless of the packet's Ethernet MAC destination address.
162    Without this option, only packets with the Ethernet MAC destination address
163    set to the Ethernet address of the port are accepted (default is enabled).
164
165*   ``-u PORTMASK``: hexadecimal bitmask of unprotected ports
166
167*   ``-j FRAMESIZE``: *optional*. data buffer size (in bytes),
168    in other words maximum data size for one segment.
169    Packets with length bigger then FRAMESIZE still can be received,
170    but will be segmented.
171    Default value: RTE_MBUF_DEFAULT_BUF_SIZE (2176)
172    Minimum value: RTE_MBUF_DEFAULT_BUF_SIZE (2176)
173    Maximum value: UINT16_MAX (65535).
174
175*   ``-l``: enables code-path that uses librte_ipsec.
176
177*   ``-w REPLAY_WINDOW_SIZE``: specifies the IPsec sequence number replay window
178    size for each Security Association (available only with librte_ipsec
179    code path).
180
181*   ``-e``: enables Security Association extended sequence number processing
182    (available only with librte_ipsec code path).
183
184*   ``-a``: enables Security Association sequence number atomic behavior
185    (available only with librte_ipsec code path).
186
187*   ``-c``: specifies the SAD cache size. Stores the most recent SA in a per
188    lcore cache. Cache represents flat array containing SA's indexed by SPI.
189    Zero value disables cache.
190    Default value: 128.
191
192*   ``-t``: specifies the statistics screen update interval in seconds. If set
193    to zero or omitted statistics screen is disabled.
194    Default value: 0.
195
196*   ``-s``: sets number of mbufs in packet pool, if not provided number of mbufs
197    will be calculated based on number of cores, eth ports and crypto queues.
198
199*   ``-f CONFIG_FILE_PATH``: the full path of text-based file containing all
200    configuration items for running the application (See Configuration file
201    syntax section below). ``-f CONFIG_FILE_PATH`` **must** be specified.
202    **ONLY** the UNIX format configuration file is accepted.
203
204*   ``--config (port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore)]``: in poll mode determines
205    which queues from which ports are mapped to which cores. In event mode this
206    option is not used as packets are dynamically scheduled to cores by HW.
207
208*   ``--single-sa SAIDX``: in poll mode use a single SA for outbound traffic,
209    bypassing the SP on both Inbound and Outbound. This option is meant for
210    debugging/performance purposes. In event mode selects driver submode, SA index
211    value is ignored.
212
213*   ``--cryptodev_mask MASK``: hexadecimal bitmask of the crypto devices
214    to configure.
215
216*   ``--transfer-mode MODE``: sets operating mode of the application
217    "poll"  : packet transfer via polling (default)
218    "event" : Packet transfer via event device
219
220*   ``--event-schedule-type TYPE``: queue schedule type, applies only when
221    --transfer-mode is set to event.
222    "ordered"  : Ordered (default)
223    "atomic"   : Atomic
224    "parallel" : Parallel
225    When --event-schedule-type is set as RTE_SCHED_TYPE_ORDERED/ATOMIC, event
226    device will ensure the ordering. Ordering will be lost when tried in PARALLEL.
227
228*   ``--rxoffload MASK``: RX HW offload capabilities to enable/use on this port
229    (bitmask of RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_* values). It is an optional parameter and
230    allows user to disable some of the RX HW offload capabilities.
231    By default all HW RX offloads are enabled.
232
233*   ``--txoffload MASK``: TX HW offload capabilities to enable/use on this port
234    (bitmask of RTE_ETH_TX_OFFLOAD_* values). It is an optional parameter and
235    allows user to disable some of the TX HW offload capabilities.
236    By default all HW TX offloads are enabled.
237
238*   ``--reassemble NUM``: max number of entries in reassemble fragment table.
239    Zero value disables reassembly functionality.
240    Default value: 0.
241
242*   ``--mtu MTU``: MTU value (in bytes) on all attached ethernet ports.
243    Outgoing packets with length bigger then MTU will be fragmented.

245    Default value: 1500.
246
247*   ``--frag-ttl FRAG_TTL_NS``: fragment lifetime (in nanoseconds).
248    If packet is not reassembled within this time, received fragments
249    will be discarded. Fragment lifetime should be decreased when
250    there is a high fragmented traffic loss in high bandwidth networks.
251    Should be lower for low number of reassembly buckets.
252    Valid values: from 1 ns to 10 s. Default value: 10000000 (10 s).
253
254*   ``--per-port-pool``: Enable per ethdev port pktmbuf pool.
255     By default one packet mbuf pool per socket is created and configured
256     via Rx queue setup.
257
258*   ``--vector-pool-sz``: Number of buffers in vector pool.
259    By default, vector pool size depeneds on packet pool size
260    and size of each vector.
261
262*   ``--desc-nb NUMBER_OF_DESC``: Number of descriptors per queue pair.
263    Default value: 2048.
264
265The mapping of lcores to port/queues is similar to other l3fwd applications.
266
267For example, given the following command line to run application in poll mode::
268
269    ./<build_dir>/examples/dpdk-ipsec-secgw -l 20,21 -n 4 --socket-mem 0,2048       \
270           --vdev "crypto_null" -- -p 0xf -P -u 0x3             \
271           --config="(0,0,20),(1,0,20),(2,0,21),(3,0,21)"       \
272           -f /path/to/config_file --transfer-mode poll         \
273
274where each option means:
275
276*   The ``-l`` option enables cores 20 and 21.
277
278*   The ``-n`` option sets memory 4 channels.
279
280*   The ``--socket-mem`` to use 2GB on socket 1.
281
282*   The ``--vdev "crypto_null"`` option creates virtual NULL cryptodev PMD.
283
284*   The ``-p`` option enables ports (detected) 0, 1, 2 and 3.
285
286*   The ``-P`` option enables promiscuous mode.
287
288*   The ``-u`` option sets ports 0 and 1 as unprotected, leaving 2 and 3 as protected.
289
290*   The ``--config`` option enables one queue per port with the following mapping:
291
292    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
293    | **Port** | **Queue** | **lcore** | **Description**                       |
294    |          |           |           |                                       |
295    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
296    | 0        | 0         | 20        | Map queue 0 from port 0 to lcore 20.  |
297    |          |           |           |                                       |
298    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
299    | 1        | 0         | 20        | Map queue 0 from port 1 to lcore 20.  |
300    |          |           |           |                                       |
301    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
302    | 2        | 0         | 21        | Map queue 0 from port 2 to lcore 21.  |
303    |          |           |           |                                       |
304    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
305    | 3        | 0         | 21        | Map queue 0 from port 3 to lcore 21.  |
306    |          |           |           |                                       |
307    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
308
309*   The ``-f /path/to/config_file`` option enables the application read and
310    parse the configuration file specified, and configures the application
311    with a given set of SP, SA and Routing entries accordingly. The syntax of
312    the configuration file will be explained below in more detail. Please
313    **note** the parser only accepts UNIX format text file. Other formats
314    such as DOS/MAC format will cause a parse error.
315
316*   The ``--transfer-mode`` option selects poll mode for processing packets.
317
318Similarly for example, given the following command line to run application in
319event app mode::
320
321    ./<build_dir>/examples/dpdk-ipsec-secgw -c 0x3 -- -P -p 0x3 -u 0x1       \
322           -f /path/to/config_file --transfer-mode event \
323           --event-schedule-type parallel --event-vector --vector-size 32    \
324           --vector-tmo 102400                           \
325
326where each option means:
327
328*   The ``-c`` option selects cores 0 and 1 to run on.
329
330*   The ``-P`` option enables promiscuous mode.
331
332*   The ``-p`` option enables ports (detected) 0 and 1.
333
334*   The ``-u`` option sets ports 0 as unprotected, leaving 1 as protected.
335
336*   The ``-f /path/to/config_file`` option has the same behavior as in poll
337    mode example.
338
339*   The ``--transfer-mode`` option selects event mode for processing packets.
340
341*   The ``--event-schedule-type`` option selects parallel ordering of event queues.
342
343*   The ``--event-vector`` option enables event vectorization.
344
345*   The ``--vector-size`` option specifies max vector size.
346
347*   The ``--vector-tmo`` option specifies max timeout in nanoseconds for vectorization.
348
349
350Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running
351applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
352
353The application would do a best effort to "map" crypto devices to cores, with
354hardware devices having priority. Basically, hardware devices if present would
355be assigned to a core before software ones.
356This means that if the application is using a single core and both hardware
357and software crypto devices are detected, hardware devices will be used.
358
359A way to achieve the case where you want to force the use of virtual crypto
360devices is to only use the Ethernet devices needed (via the allow flag)
361and therefore implicitly blocking all hardware crypto devices.
362
363For example, something like the following command line:
364
365.. code-block:: console
366
367    ./<build_dir>/examples/dpdk-ipsec-secgw -l 20,21 -n 4 --socket-mem 0,2048 \
368            -a 81:00.0 -a 81:00.1 -a 81:00.2 -a 81:00.3 \
369            --vdev "crypto_aesni_mb" --vdev "crypto_null" \
370	    -- \
371            -p 0xf -P -u 0x3 --config="(0,0,20),(1,0,20),(2,0,21),(3,0,21)" \
372            -f sample.cfg
373
374
375Configurations
376--------------
377
378The following sections provide the syntax of configurations to initialize
379your SP, SA, Routing, Flow and Neighbour tables.
380Configurations shall be specified in the configuration file to be passed to
381the application. The file is then parsed by the application. The successful
382parsing will result in the appropriate rules being applied to the tables
383accordingly.
384
385
386Configuration File Syntax
387~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
388
389As mention in the overview, the Security Policies are ACL rules.
390The application parsers the rules specified in the configuration file and
391passes them to the ACL table, and replicates them per socket in use.
392
393Following are the configuration file syntax.
394
395General rule syntax
396^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
397
398The parse treats one line in the configuration file as one configuration
399item (unless the line concatenation symbol exists). Every configuration
400item shall follow the syntax of either SP, SA, Routing, Flow or Neighbour
401rules specified below.
402
403The configuration parser supports the following special symbols:
404
405 * Comment symbol **#**. Any character from this symbol to the end of
406   line is treated as comment and will not be parsed.
407
408 * Line concatenation symbol **\\**. This symbol shall be placed in the end
409   of the line to be concatenated to the line below. Multiple lines'
410   concatenation is supported.
411
412
413SP rule syntax
414^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
415
416The SP rule syntax is shown as follows:
417
418.. code-block:: console
419
420    sp <ip_ver> <dir> esp <action> <priority> <src_ip> <dst_ip>
421    <proto> <sport> <dport>
422
423
424where each options means:
425
426``<ip_ver>``
427
428 * IP protocol version
429
430 * Optional: No
431
432 * Available options:
433
434   * *ipv4*: IP protocol version 4
435   * *ipv6*: IP protocol version 6
436

996Test directory
997--------------
998
999The test directory contains scripts for testing the various encryption
1000algorithms.
1001
1002The purpose of the scripts is to automate ipsec-secgw testing
1003using another system running linux as a DUT.
1004
1005The user must setup the following environment variables:
1006
1007*   ``SGW_PATH``: path to the ipsec-secgw binary to test.
1008
1009*   ``REMOTE_HOST``: IP address/hostname of the DUT.
1010
1011*   ``REMOTE_IFACE``: interface name for the test-port on the DUT.
1012
1013*   ``ETH_DEV``: ethernet device to be used on the SUT by DPDK ('-a <pci-id>')
1014
1015Also the user can optionally setup:
1016
1017*   ``SGW_LCORE``: lcore to run ipsec-secgw on (default value is 0)
1018
1019*   ``CRYPTO_DEV``: crypto device to be used ('-a <pci-id>'). If none specified
1020    appropriate vdevs will be created by the script
1021
1022Scripts can be used for multiple test scenarios. To check all available
1023options run:
1024
1025.. code-block:: console
1026
1027    /bin/bash run_test.sh -h
1028
1029Note that most of the tests require the appropriate crypto PMD/device to be
1030available.
1031
1032Server configuration
1033~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1034
1035Two servers are required for the tests, SUT and DUT.
1036
1037Make sure the user from the SUT can ssh to the DUT without entering the password.
1038To enable this feature keys must be setup on the DUT.
1039
1040``ssh-keygen`` will make a private & public key pair on the SUT.
1041
1042``ssh-copy-id`` <user name>@<target host name> on the SUT will copy the public
1043key to the DUT. It will ask for credentials so that it can upload the public key.
1044
1045The SUT and DUT are connected through at least 2 NIC ports.
1046
1047One NIC port is expected to be managed by linux on both machines and will be
1048used as a control path.
1049
1050The second NIC port (test-port) should be bound to DPDK on the SUT, and should
1051be managed by linux on the DUT.
1052
1053The script starts ``ipsec-secgw`` with 2 NIC devices: ``test-port`` and
1054``tap vdev``.
1055
1056It then configures the local tap interface and the remote interface and IPsec
1057policies in the following way:
1058
1059Traffic going over the test-port in both directions has to be protected by IPsec.
1060
1061Traffic going over the TAP port in both directions does not have to be protected.
1062
1063i.e:
1064
1065DUT OS(NIC1)--(IPsec)-->(NIC1)ipsec-secgw(TAP)--(plain)-->(TAP)SUT OS
1066
1067SUT OS(TAP)--(plain)-->(TAP)psec-secgw(NIC1)--(IPsec)-->(NIC1)DUT OS
1068
1069It then tries to perform some data transfer using the scheme described above.

1071Usage
1072~~~~~
1073
1074In the ipsec-secgw/test directory run
1075
1076/bin/bash run_test.sh <options> <ipsec_mode>
1077
1078Available options:
1079
1080*   ``-4`` Perform tests with use of IPv4. One or both [-46] options needs to be
1081    selected.
1082
1083*   ``-6`` Perform tests with use of IPv6. One or both [-46] options needs to be
1084    selected.
1085
1086*   ``-m`` Add IPSec tunnel mixed IP version tests - outer IP version different
1087    than inner. Inner IP version will match selected option [-46].
1088
1089*   ``-i`` Run tests in inline mode. Regular tests will not be invoked.
1090
1091*   ``-f`` Run tests for fallback mechanism. Regular tests will not be invoked.
1092
1093*   ``-l`` Run tests in legacy mode only. It cannot be used with options [-fsc].
1094    On default library mode is used.
1095
1096*   ``-s`` Run all tests with reassembly support. On default only tests for
1097    fallback mechanism use reassembly support.
1098
1099*   ``-c`` Run tests with use of cpu-crypto. For inline tests it will not be
1100    applied. On default lookaside-none is used.
1101
1102*   ``-p`` Perform packet validation tests. Option [-46] is not required.
1103
1104*   ``-h`` Show usage.
1105
1106If <ipsec_mode> is specified, only tests for that mode will be invoked. For the
1107list of available modes please refer to run_test.sh.
