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                        -c SAD_CACHE_SIZE
97                        --config (port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore]
98                        --single-sa SAIDX
99                        --rxoffload MASK
100                        --txoffload MASK
101                        --mtu MTU
102                        --reassemble NUM
103                        -f CONFIG_FILE_PATH
104
105Where:
106
107*   ``-p PORTMASK``: Hexadecimal bitmask of ports to configure.
108
109*   ``-P``: *optional*. Sets all ports to promiscuous mode so that packets are
110    accepted regardless of the packet's Ethernet MAC destination address.
111    Without this option, only packets with the Ethernet MAC destination address
112    set to the Ethernet address of the port are accepted (default is enabled).
113
114*   ``-u PORTMASK``: hexadecimal bitmask of unprotected ports
115
116*   ``-j FRAMESIZE``: *optional*. data buffer size (in bytes),
117    in other words maximum data size for one segment.
118    Packets with length bigger then FRAMESIZE still can be received,
119    but will be segmented.
120    Default value: RTE_MBUF_DEFAULT_BUF_SIZE (2176)
121    Minimum value: RTE_MBUF_DEFAULT_BUF_SIZE (2176)
122    Maximum value: UINT16_MAX (65535).
123
124*   ``-l``: enables code-path that uses librte_ipsec.
125
126*   ``-w REPLAY_WINOW_SIZE``: specifies the IPsec sequence number replay window
127    size for each Security Association (available only with librte_ipsec
128    code path).
129
130*   ``-e``: enables Security Association extended sequence number processing
131    (available only with librte_ipsec code path).
132
133*   ``-a``: enables Security Association sequence number atomic behavior
134    (available only with librte_ipsec code path).
135
136*   ``-c``: specifies the SAD cache size. Stores the most recent SA in a per
137    lcore cache. Cache represents flat array containing SA's indexed by SPI.
138    Zero value disables cache.
139    Default value: 128.
140
141*   ``--config (port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore)]``: determines which queues
142    from which ports are mapped to which cores.
143
144*   ``--single-sa SAIDX``: use a single SA for outbound traffic, bypassing the SP
145    on both Inbound and Outbound. This option is meant for debugging/performance
146    purposes.
147
148*   ``--rxoffload MASK``: RX HW offload capabilities to enable/use on this port
149    (bitmask of DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_* values). It is an optional parameter and
150    allows user to disable some of the RX HW offload capabilities.
151    By default all HW RX offloads are enabled.
152
153*   ``--txoffload MASK``: TX HW offload capabilities to enable/use on this port
154    (bitmask of DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_* values). It is an optional parameter and
155    allows user to disable some of the TX HW offload capabilities.
156    By default all HW TX offloads are enabled.
157
158*   ``--mtu MTU``: MTU value (in bytes) on all attached ethernet ports.
159    Outgoing packets with length bigger then MTU will be fragmented.
160    Incoming packets with length bigger then MTU will be discarded.
161    Default value: 1500.
162
163*   ``--frag-ttl FRAG_TTL_NS``: fragment lifetime (in nanoseconds).
164    If packet is not reassembled within this time, received fragments
165    will be discarded. Fragment lifetime should be decreased when
166    there is a high fragmented traffic loss in high bandwidth networks.
167    Should be lower for low number of reassembly buckets.
168    Valid values: from 1 ns to 10 s. Default value: 10000000 (10 s).
169
170*   ``--reassemble NUM``: max number of entries in reassemble fragment table.
171    Zero value disables reassembly functionality.
172    Default value: 0.
173
174*   ``-f CONFIG_FILE_PATH``: the full path of text-based file containing all
175    configuration items for running the application (See Configuration file
176    syntax section below). ``-f CONFIG_FILE_PATH`` **must** be specified.
177    **ONLY** the UNIX format configuration file is accepted.
178
179
180The mapping of lcores to port/queues is similar to other l3fwd applications.
181
182For example, given the following command line::
183
184    ./build/ipsec-secgw -l 20,21 -n 4 --socket-mem 0,2048       \
185           --vdev "crypto_null" -- -p 0xf -P -u 0x3      \
186           --config="(0,0,20),(1,0,20),(2,0,21),(3,0,21)"       \
187           -f /path/to/config_file                              \
188
189where each options means:
190
191*   The ``-l`` option enables cores 20 and 21.
192
193*   The ``-n`` option sets memory 4 channels.
194
195*   The ``--socket-mem`` to use 2GB on socket 1.
196
197*   The ``--vdev "crypto_null"`` option creates virtual NULL cryptodev PMD.
198
199*   The ``-p`` option enables ports (detected) 0, 1, 2 and 3.
200
201*   The ``-P`` option enables promiscuous mode.
202
203*   The ``-u`` option sets ports 1 and 2 as unprotected, leaving 2 and 3 as protected.
204
205*   The ``--config`` option enables one queue per port with the following mapping:
206
207    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
208    | **Port** | **Queue** | **lcore** | **Description**                       |
209    |          |           |           |                                       |
210    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
211    | 0        | 0         | 20        | Map queue 0 from port 0 to lcore 20.  |
212    |          |           |           |                                       |
213    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
214    | 1        | 0         | 20        | Map queue 0 from port 1 to lcore 20.  |
215    |          |           |           |                                       |
216    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
217    | 2        | 0         | 21        | Map queue 0 from port 2 to lcore 21.  |
218    |          |           |           |                                       |
219    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
220    | 3        | 0         | 21        | Map queue 0 from port 3 to lcore 21.  |
221    |          |           |           |                                       |
222    +----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------+
223
224*   The ``-f /path/to/config_file`` option enables the application read and
225    parse the configuration file specified, and configures the application
226    with a given set of SP, SA and Routing entries accordingly. The syntax of
227    the configuration file will be explained below in more detail. Please
228    **note** the parser only accepts UNIX format text file. Other formats
229    such as DOS/MAC format will cause a parse error.
230
231Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on running
232applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
233
234The application would do a best effort to "map" crypto devices to cores, with
235hardware devices having priority. Basically, hardware devices if present would
236be assigned to a core before software ones.
237This means that if the application is using a single core and both hardware
238and software crypto devices are detected, hardware devices will be used.
239
240A way to achieve the case where you want to force the use of virtual crypto
241devices is to whitelist the Ethernet devices needed and therefore implicitly
242blacklisting all hardware crypto devices.
243
244For example, something like the following command line:
245
246.. code-block:: console
247
248    ./build/ipsec-secgw -l 20,21 -n 4 --socket-mem 0,2048 \
249            -w 81:00.0 -w 81:00.1 -w 81:00.2 -w 81:00.3 \
250            --vdev "crypto_aesni_mb" --vdev "crypto_null" \
251	    -- \
252            -p 0xf -P -u 0x3 --config="(0,0,20),(1,0,20),(2,0,21),(3,0,21)" \
253            -f sample.cfg
254
255
256Configurations
257--------------
258
259The following sections provide the syntax of configurations to initialize
260your SP, SA, Routing and Neighbour tables.
261Configurations shall be specified in the configuration file to be passed to
262the application. The file is then parsed by the application. The successful
263parsing will result in the appropriate rules being applied to the tables
264accordingly.
265
266
267Configuration File Syntax
268~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
269
270As mention in the overview, the Security Policies are ACL rules.
271The application parsers the rules specified in the configuration file and
272passes them to the ACL table, and replicates them per socket in use.
273
274Following are the configuration file syntax.
275
276General rule syntax
277^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
278
279The parse treats one line in the configuration file as one configuration
280item (unless the line concatenation symbol exists). Every configuration
281item shall follow the syntax of either SP, SA, Routing or Neighbour
282rules specified below.
283
284The configuration parser supports the following special symbols:
285
286 * Comment symbol **#**. Any character from this symbol to the end of
287   line is treated as comment and will not be parsed.
288
289 * Line concatenation symbol **\\**. This symbol shall be placed in the end
290   of the line to be concatenated to the line below. Multiple lines'
291   concatenation is supported.
292

735
736Test directory
737--------------
738
739The test directory contains scripts for testing the various encryption
740algorithms.
741
742The purpose of the scripts is to automate ipsec-secgw testing
743using another system running linux as a DUT.
744
745The user must setup the following environment variables:
746
747*   ``SGW_PATH``: path to the ipsec-secgw binary to test.
748
749*   ``REMOTE_HOST``: IP address/hostname of the DUT.
750
751*   ``REMOTE_IFACE``: interface name for the test-port on the DUT.
752
753*   ``ETH_DEV``: ethernet device to be used on the SUT by DPDK ('-w <pci-id>')
754
755Also the user can optionally setup:
756
757*   ``SGW_LCORE``: lcore to run ipsec-secgw on (default value is 0)
758
759*   ``CRYPTO_DEV``: crypto device to be used ('-w <pci-id>'). If none specified
760    appropriate vdevs will be created by the script
761
762*   ``MULTI_SEG_TEST``: ipsec-secgw option to enable reassembly support and
763    specify size of reassembly table (e.g.
764    ``MULTI_SEG_TEST='--reassemble 128'``). This option must be set for
765    fallback session tests.
766
767Note that most of the tests require the appropriate crypto PMD/device to be
768available.
769
770Server configuration
771~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
772
773Two servers are required for the tests, SUT and DUT.
774
775Make sure the user from the SUT can ssh to the DUT without entering the password.
776To enable this feature keys must be setup on the DUT.
777
778``ssh-keygen`` will make a private & public key pair on the SUT.
779
780``ssh-copy-id`` <user name>@<target host name> on the SUT will copy the public
781key to the DUT. It will ask for credentials so that it can upload the public key.
782
783The SUT and DUT are connected through at least 2 NIC ports.
784
785One NIC port is expected to be managed by linux on both machines and will be
786used as a control path.
787
788The second NIC port (test-port) should be bound to DPDK on the SUT, and should
789be managed by linux on the DUT.
790
791The script starts ``ipsec-secgw`` with 2 NIC devices: ``test-port`` and
792``tap vdev``.
793
794It then configures the local tap interface and the remote interface and IPsec
795policies in the following way:
796
797Traffic going over the test-port in both directions has to be protected by IPsec.
798
799Traffic going over the TAP port in both directions does not have to be protected.
800
801i.e:
802
803DUT OS(NIC1)--(IPsec)-->(NIC1)ipsec-secgw(TAP)--(plain)-->(TAP)SUT OS
804
805SUT OS(TAP)--(plain)-->(TAP)psec-secgw(NIC1)--(IPsec)-->(NIC1)DUT OS
806
807It then tries to perform some data transfer using the scheme described above.
