About the concepts of Full-NAT (FNAT
), DR
, Tunnel
, TOA
, OSPF
/ECMP
and keepalived
, please refer LVS and Alibaba/LVS.
Note that DPVS
supports FNAT
, DR
, Tunnel
, NAT
, SNAT
forwarding modes, and each mode can be configured as one-arm
or two-arm
topology, with or without OSFP/ECMP
/keepalived
. There're too many combinations, I cannot list all the examples here. Let's just give some popular working models used in our daily work.
The term two-arm means, you have clients in one side of load-balancer (LB
) and servers (RS
) in another side, then LB
forwards packets between its two logical network interfaces. For example, WAN-to-LAN load balancing.
On the other hand, one-arm means all clients and servers are in same side of load-balancer
, LB
forwards traffic through the same logical network interface.
Logical interface (or device) could be physical
DPDK
interface, orDPVS
virtual devices like bonding, vlan and tunnel devices.
To make things easier, we do not consider virtual devices for now. Thus, two-arm topology need
- two DPDK interfaces loaded with PMD driver(i.e. igb_uio), and
/etc/dpvs.conf
should also be configured with two interfaces. Please refer the file conf/dpvs.conf.sample.
$ dpdk-devbind --status
Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
============================================
0000:06:00.0 'Ethernet Controller 10-Gigabit X540-AT2' drv=igb_uio unused=uio_pci_generic
0000:06:00.1 'Ethernet Controller 10-Gigabit X540-AT2' drv=igb_uio unused=uio_pci_generic
For one-arm, only one DPDK intreface is needed, and you can refer conf/dpvs.conf.single-nic.sample.
Like LVS
, DPVS
can be deployed as different sort of Cluster models for High-Available (HA) purpose. Both OSPF/ECMP and Master/Backup models are supported. OSPF/ECMP model need package quagga
and its zebra
and ospfd
programs. And master/back model need Keepalived
.
Considering DPDK
application manages the networking interface completely (except the extra control NIC if exist), Linux Kernel and programs run on Kernel TCP/IP stack cannot receive packets from DPDK
interface directly. To make Linux programs like sshd
, zebra/ospfd
and keepalived
work, DPDK kni
device is used. Then the Linux programs can working on kni
device with Linux TCP/IP stack. Actually, DPVS
passes the packets, which it's not interested in, to kni
device. For instance, OSPF/VRRP/ssh packets. So that the programs "working" on Linux stack are able to handle them.
We do not want to port
ospfd
/keepalieved
/sshd
to DPDK environment, beacause TCP and Socket layer is needed. And the work load is another reason.
It should not that keepalived
is modified by DPVS
project to support some specific parameters. The codes is resident in tools/keepalived and the executable file is bin/keepalived
. And ospfd
/sshd
is the standard version.
Let's start from Full-NAT example first, it's not the easiest but really popular.
This is a simple example for FullNAT (FNAT
), forwarding between two interfaces. Assuming one is WAN interface (dpdk1
) and another is LAN interface (dpdk0
).
The setting including:
- ip-addresses and routes for DPDK LAN/WAN network.
- VIP on WAN interface (
dpdk1
) FNAT
service (vip:vport) and relatedRS
FNAT
mode need at least one LIP on LAN interface (dpdk0
)
#!/bin/sh -
# add VIP to WAN interface
./dpip addr add 10.0.0.100/32 dev dpdk1
# route for WAN/LAN access
# add routes for other network or default route if needed.
./dpip route add 10.0.0.0/16 dev dpdk1
./dpip route add 192.168.100.0/24 dev dpdk0
# add service <VIP:vport> to forwarding, scheduling mode is RR.
# use ipvsadm --help for more info.
./ipvsadm -A -t 10.0.0.100:80 -s rr
# add two RS for service, forwarding mode is FNAT (-b)
./ipvsadm -a -t 10.0.0.100:80 -r 192.168.100.2 -b
./ipvsadm -a -t 10.0.0.100:80 -r 192.168.100.3 -b
# add at least one Local-IP (LIP) for FNAT on LAN interface
./ipvsadm --add-laddr -z 192.168.100.200 -t 10.0.0.100:80 -F dpdk0
And you can use the commands below to check what's just set:
$ ./dpip addr show
inet 10.0.0.100/32 scope global dpdk1
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet 192.168.100.200/32 scope global dpdk0

$ ./ipvsadm -G

192.168.100.200 0 0
And now to verify if FNAT (two-arm) works. I've setup Nginx server on RS (with TOA module) to response the HTTP request with Client's real IP and port. The response format is plain text (not html).
client$ curl 10.0.0.100
Your ip:port : 10.0.0.48:37177
LIP
or Local-IP is needed for FNAT translation, clients' CIP:cport will be replaced with LIP:lport, while VIP:vport will be translated to RS's RIP:rport. That's why the mode called "Full-NAT" I think.
Please use ipvsadm --add-laddr
to set LIP
instead of dpip addr add ...
. Because the both ipvs and inet module need LIP
address, and sapool option will be set automatically.
Another tip is you can use dpip addr add 10.0.0.100/16 dev dpdk1
to set VIP and WAN route simultaneously. But let's use two commands to make it clear.
Optionally, if RS
need to obtain client's real IP:port by socket API, e.g., getpeername
or accept
, instead of some application manner. TOA
kernel module should be installed on RS
. TOA
is developped for some version of Linux kernel, and porting may needed for other versions or other OS Kernel like BSD or mTCP.
You could refer to following links to get TOA
source code and porting to your RS
if needed.
TOA source code is included into DPVS project(in directory kmod/toa) since v1.7 to support IPv6 and NAT64. It is derived from the Alibaba TOA. For IPv6 applications which need client's real IP address, we suggest to use this TOA version.
Be aware that application may need some changes if you are using NAT64. An extra getsockopt
should be called to obtain the client's real IPv6 address from the IPv4 socket on RS. As an example, we give a NAT64 patch for nginx-1.14. By the way, if you do not need client's real IP address, application needs no changes.
To work with OSPF, the patch in patch/dpdk-xxx/
must be applied to the corresponding DPDK source codes and the correct rte_kni.ko
should be installed.
DPVS
OSPF-cluster model looks like this, it leverages OSPF/ECMP
for HA and high-scalability. This model is widely used in practice.
For DPVS
, things become more complicated. As mentioned above, DPDK
program (here is dpvs
) have full control of DPDK NICs, so Linux program (ospfd
) needs receive/send packets through kni
device (dpdk1.kni
) related to DPDK device (dpdk1
).
DPDK apps based on whole TCP/IP stack like user-space Linux/BSD do not have this kind of configuration complexity, but more developing efforts are needed to porting
ospfd
andkeepalived
to the TCP/IP stack used by DPDK. Anyway, that's another solution.
Thus, the internal relationship among interfaces and programs looks like below,
Now the configuration has two parts, one is for dpvs
and another is for zebra/ospfd
.
dpvs
part is almost the same with the example in simple fnat, except
- one more address/route is needed to communicate between dpvs and wan-side L3-switch. For ospf packets, dpvs will just send them to kernel.
- VIP should not only set to
dpvs
bydpip addr
, but also need to set tokni
, so thatospfd
can be aware of it and then to publish.
If you add any kni_host route which means all packets will be sent to kernel by dpvs, the prefix length of
kni_host
must be 32.
#!/bin/sh -
# routes for LAN access
./dpip route add 192.168.100.0/24 dev dpdk0
# add service <VIP:vport> to forwarding, scheduling mode is RR.
# use ipvsadm --help for more info.
./ipvsadm -A -t 123.1.2.3:80 -s rr
# add two RS-es for service, forwarding mode is FNAT (-b)
./ipvsadm -a -t 123.1.2.3:80 -r 192.168.100.2 -b
./ipvsadm -a -t 123.1.2.3:80 -r 192.168.100.3 -b
# add at Local-IPs (LIPs) for FNAT on LAN interface
./ipvsadm --add-laddr -z 192.168.100.200 -t 123.1.2.3:80 -F dpdk0
./ipvsadm --add-laddr -z 192.168.100.201 -t 123.1.2.3:80 -F dpdk0
# add addr/route for dpvs.
./dpip addr add 123.1.2.3/32 dev dpdk1
./dpip addr add 172.10.0.2/30 dev dpdk1
./dpip route add default via 172.10.0.1 dev dpdk1
Then, the zebra/ospfd
part. Firstly, run the OSPF protocol between DPVS
server and wan-side L3-switch, with the "inter-connection network" (here is 172.10.0.2/30
). For DPVS
, we set the inter-connection IP on dpdk1.kni
.
Assuming
quagga
package is installed, if not, please use 'yum' (CentOS) or 'apt-get' (Ubuntu) to install it. After installed, you should havezebra
andospfd
, as well as their config files.
$ ip link set dpdk1.kni up
$ ip addr add 172.10.0.2/30 dev dpdk1.kni
$ ip addr add 123.1.2.3/32 dev dpdk1.kni # add VIP to kni for ospfd
$ ip route add default via 172.10.0.1 dev dpdk1.kni
VIP should be add to kni device, to let ospfd to publish it.
Check if inter-connection works by ping
switch.
$ ping 172.10.0.1
PING 172.10.0.1 (172.10.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 172.10.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=2.19 ms
Now let's config zebra
and ospfd
. Nothing special for zebra
, just use it with the default configuration.
$ cat /etc/quagga/zebra.conf # may installed to other path
! -*- zebra -*-
!
! zebra sample configuration file
!
! Id: zebra.conf.sample,v 1.1 2002/12/13 20:15:30 paul Exp $
!
hostname localhost.localdomain # change to it real hostname
password ****
enable password ****
log file /var/log/quagga/zebra.log
service password-encryption
For ospfd
, these parameters need be set:
- interface: it's WAN interface
dpdk1.kni
- route-id: not that significant, just use the LAN IP.
- network: which network to advertise
- the inter-connection network
172.10.0.0/30
, and - the VIP
123.1.2.3/32
.
- the inter-connection network
- area-ID: should be the same with switch, here is
0.0.0.0
for example. - Other parameters, like "p2p", "authentication", ... they must be consistent with Switch.
$ cat /etc/quagga/ospfd.conf # may installed to other path
log file /var/log/quagga/ospf.log
log stdout
log syslog

network 172.10.0.0/30 area 0.0.0.0 # announce inter-connection network
network 123.1.2.3/32 area 0.0.0.0 # announce VIP
Considering the VIP's route is configured on KNI interface, an alternative way to publish VIP is to let ospfd redistribute the connected routes that match VIP. In this way, you don't need to modify the ospfd.conf
file and reolad ospfd
every time when you want to add more VIPs.
$ cat /etc/quagga/ospfd.conf # may installed to other path
log file /var/log/quagga/ospf.log
log stdout
log syslog

enable password ****
access-list 1 permit 123.1.2.0 0.0.0.255 # access-list 1 permits VIP segment 123.1.2.0/24

match ip address 1
interface dpdk1.kni # should be wan-side kni device
ip ospf hello-interval 10
ip ospf dead-interval 40
router ospf
ospf router-id 192.168.100.200 # just use LAN IP

network 172.10.0.0/30 area 0.0.0.0 # announce inter-connection network
redistribute connected route-map ecmp # redistribute VIPs in route-map "ecmp", route-map is not mandatory but advised
Note that OSPF
must also be configured on l3-switch. This Tutorial is not about OSPF's configuration, so no more things about switch here.
Now start zebra
and ospfd
:
service restart zebra
service restart ospfd
Hopefully (if OSPF
works), the VIP is accessible by client:
client: curl 123.1.2.3
There exists other solutions to acheive the OSPF-cluster model and the like. For example, OSPF and quagga can be replaced with BGP and bird, respectively. If you are interested, please refer to related docs or consult the network administrator.
This is an example for FullNAT used in internal network (LAN). Keepalived
(DPVS
modified version) is used for to make DPVS works as Master/Backup model.
By using keepalived
, routes, LIP
, VIP
and RS
can be configured through keepalived
config file. Note the configure parameters for DPVS
modified keepalived
is slight different from original keepalived
.

The keepalived config for backup is the same with Master, except
- local address is not the same with MASTER,
- vrrp_instance

should be 'BACKUP', - vrrp_instance
priority
should be lower.
local_address_group laddr_g1 {

... ...
}
Start keepalived
on both Master and Backup.
./keepalived -f /etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf
Then, add routes to DPDK interface manually on both MASTER and BACKUP.
./dpip route add 192.168.100.0/24 dev dpdk0
Lastly, configure dpdk0.kni to make keepalived's vrrp and health-check work properly.
ip link set dpdk0.kni up
ip addr add 192.168.100.28/24 dev dpdk0.kni # assign an IP to dpdk0.kni
dpip route add 192.168.100.28/32 scope kni_host dev dpdk0 # route packets target at 192.168.100.28 to dpdk0.kni
Note the dpdk0.kni's IP addresses should be different for MASTER and BACKUP.
Check if parameters just set are correct:

Note:
- We just explain how DPVS works with keepalived, and not verify if the master/backup feature provided by keepalived works. Please refer LVS docs if needed.
- Keepalived master/backup failover may fail if switch enabled the ARP broadcast suppression (unfortunately often is the case). If you don't want to change configurations of your switch, decrease the number of gratuitous ARP packets sent by keepalived (dpvs) on failover may help.

}
Let's make a simple example for DR mode, some users may need it.
To use DR:
- dpvs needs a LAN IP first. (for one-arm, it must be different from VIP).
- the
RS
andDPVS
must in same sub-network (on-link). - On
RS
:VIP
must be added to its lo interface. - On
RS
:arp_ignore
must be set to lo interface.
DPVS
needs a RS-faced IP itself (here means "LAN-side" IP, it's not the same conception as Local-IP (LIP) used by FNAT, just a normal IP address). BecauseDPVS
need communicated withRS
es. For one-arm, this LAN IP and VIP are on same DPDK interface. But they cannot be same, becauseVIP
will also be set onRS
es, if we do not use a separated LAN-IP,RS
es will not reply the ARP request. Furthermore, the LAN-IP ofDPVS
must be added before VIP. For tow-arm DR,DPVS
also need a LAN side IP to talk with LAN-side hosts, while VIP is configured on client-faced (WAN) interface.
On DPVS
, The DR
configuration can be,
# on DPVS
# add LAN IP for DPVS, it must be different from VIP
# and must be added before VIP.
./dpip addr add 192.168.100.1/24 dev dpdk0
# add VIP and the route will generate automatically.
./dpip addr add 192.168.100.254/32 dev dpdk0
# route for LAN network, just a hint.
#./dpip route add 192.168.100.0/24 dev dpdk0
# add service <VIP:vport> to forwarding, scheduling mode is RR.
# use ipvsadm --help for more info.
./ipvsadm -A -t 192.168.100.254:80 -s rr
# add two RS for service, forwarding mode is DR
./ipvsadm -a -t 192.168.100.254:80 -r 192.168.100.2 -g
./ipvsadm -a -t 192.168.100.254:80 -r 192.168.100.3 -g
And then on RS
es,
# for each Real Server
rs$ ip addr add 192.168.100.254/32 dev lo # add VIP to each RS's lo
rs$ sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.lo.arp_ignore=1 # ignore ARP on lo
net.ipv4.conf.lo.arp_ignore = 1
Try if client can access VIP with DR mode.
client$ curl 192.168.100.254
Your ip:port : 192.168.100.46:13862
DR mode for two-arm is similar with two-arm FNAT, please change the forwarding mode by
ipvsadm -g
, and you need NOT configLIP
. Configuration ofRS
es are the same with one-arm.
Traffic flow of tunnel mode is the same as DR mode. It forwards packets to RSes, and then RSes send replies to clients directly. Different with DR mode, tunnel mode can forward packets across L2 network through ipip tunnels between DPVS and RSes.
DPVS
configs of the above diagram as follows.
## DPVS configs ##
# config LAN network on dpdk0
./dpip addr add 10.140.16.48/20 dev dpdk0
# config default route, `src` must be set for tunnel mode
./dpip route add default via 10.140.31.254 src 10.140.16.48 dev dpdk0
# add service <VIP:vport> to forwarding, scheduling mode is RR
./ipvsadm -A -t 10.140.31.48:80 -s rr
# add RS in the same subnet with DPVS, forwarding mode is tunnel
./ipvsadm -a -t 10.140.31.48:80 -r 10.140.18.33 -i
# add another RS in different subnet with DPVS, forwarding mode is tunnel
./ipvsadm -a -t 10.140.31.48:80 -r 10.40.84.170 -i
# add VIP and the route will generate automatically
./dpip addr add 10.140.31.48/32 dev dpdk0
DPVS tunnel requires RS supports ip tunnel. VIP should be configured and arp_ignore should be set on RS.

rs$ sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.tunl0.arp_ignore=1 # ignore ARP on tunl0
rs$ sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.tunl0.rp_filter=2 # use loose source validation
You should note that default rp_filter uses strict source validation, but source route for incoming packets on tunl0 is not configured on tunl0. So we change rp_filter behavior of tunl0 to loose source validation mode to avoid packet drop on RSs.
You can test the dpvs tunnel service now.

Hi, I am 10.40.84.170.
A strict limitation exists for DPVS NAT mode: DPVS NAT
mode can only work in single lcore. It is hard for DPVS to support multi-lcore NAT forwarding mode due to the following facts.
- DPVS session entries are splited and distributed on lcores by RSS.
- NAT forwarding requires both inbound and outbound traffic go through DPVS.
- Only dest IP/port is translated in NAT forwarding, source IP/port is not changed.
- Very limited maximum rte_flow rules can be set for a NIC.
So, if no other control of the traffic flow, outbound packets may arrive at different lcore from inbound packets. If so, outbound packets would be dropped because session lookup miss. Full-NAT fixes the problem by using Flow Control (rte_flow). However, there are very limited rules can be added for a NIC, i.e. 8K for XT-540. Unlike Full-NAT, NAT does not have local IP/port, so flow rules can only be set on source IP/port, which means only thousands concurrency is supported. Therefore, rte_flow is not feasible for NAT.
Whatever, we give a simple example for NAT mode. Remind it only works single lcore.
## DPVS configs ##

On RSs, back routes should be pointed to DPVS.
## for each real server ##
ip route add 192.168.0.0/24 via 10.140.31.48 dev eth0
Now you can test DPVS NAT mode.
client$ curl 192.168.0.89:80

Since v1.7.2, a solution is made for multi-lcore NAT mode forwarding. The principle is to redirect the outbound packets to the correct lcore where its session entry reside through a global redirection table and some lockless rings. Of course, it harms performance to some degree. If you want to use it, turn on the config swtich "ipvs_defs/conn/redirect" in /etc/dpvs.conf.
SNAT
mode can be used to let hosts in internal network without WAN IP (e.g., servers in IDC) to have Internet access.
To configure SNAT
,
- WAN-side IP must be configured with
sapool
option. - SNAT uses "match" service instead of vip:vport for TCP/UDP,
- default route may be needed on DPVS WAN interface.
match
supportsproto
,src-range
,dst-range
,oif
andiif
. For example:proto=tcp,src-range=192.168.0.0-192.168.0.254,dst-range=0.0.0.0:1-1024,oif=dpdk1
.
The SNAT setting could be:
#!/bin/sh -
WAN_IP=123.1.2.3 # WAN IP can access Internet.
WAN_PREF=24 # WAN side network prefix length.
GATEWAY=123.1.2.1 # WAN side gateway
LAN_IP=192.168.100.1
LAN_PREF=24
# add WAN-side IP with sapool
./dpip addr add $WAN_IP/$WAN_PREF dev dpdk1 sapool # must add sapool for WAN-side IP
# add LAN-side IP as well as LAN route (generated)
./dpip addr add $LAN_IP/$LAN_PREF dev dpdk0
# add default route for WAN interface
./dpip route add default via $GATEWAY dev dpdk1
# SNAT section
# -H MATCH SNAT uses -H for "match" service instead of -t or -u
# MATCH support "proto", "src-range", "oif" and "iif".
# -r <WIP:0> used to specify the WAN IP after SNAT translation,
# the "port" part must be 0.
# -J for "SNAT" forwarding mode.
MATCH0='proto=tcp,src-range=192.168.100.0-192.168.100.254,oif=dpdk1'
MATCH1='proto=icmp,src-range=192.168.100.0-192.168.100.254,oif=dpdk1'
./ipvsadm -A -s rr -H $MATCH0
./ipvsadm -a -H $MATCH0 -r $WAN_IP:0 -w 100 -J
./ipvsadm -A -s rr -H $MATCH1
./ipvsadm -a -H $MATCH1 -r $WAN_IP:0 -w 100 -J
You can also use keepalived to configure SNAT instead of using ipvsadm. Every SNAT serivce should has parameter 'match':
virtual_server match SNAT1 {
protocol UDP
lb_algo rr
lb_kind SNAT
src-range 192.168.100.0-192.168.100.254
oif dpdk1
real_server 123.1.2.1 0 {
weight 4
}
}
virtual_server match SNAT2 {
protocol ICMP
lb_algo wrr
lb_kind SNAT
src-range 192.168.100.1-192.168.100.254
dst-range 123.1.2.0-123.1.2.254
oif dpdk1
iif dpdk0
real_server 123.1.2.1 0 {
weight 4
}
}
If you also want to use keepalived instead of using dpip to configure WAN/LAN IP, you can using 'alpha' and 'omega' to configure keepalived. Healthy check is needed in alpha mode, so you have to make a healthy check. And the result of the healthy check must always be true or RS(LAN IP in fact) will be deleted. You can use MISC_CHECK to make real_server/WAN IP always be healthy:
virtual_server match SNAT {
protocol UDP
delay_loop 3
lb_algo rr
lb_kind SNAT
src-range 192.168.100.0-192.168.100.254
oif dpdk1
alpha
omega
quorum 1
quorum_up "dpip addr add XXX;" ##Here is your cmd, you can also use a script.
quorum_down "dpip addr del XXX;"
real_server 123.1.2.2 0 {
weight 4
MISC_CHECK {
misc_path "exit 0"##Just make a healthy check which will always judge real_server healthy
misc_timeout 10
}
}
}
For hosts in "LAN", the default route should be set to DPVS
server's LAN IP.
host$ ip route add default via 192.168.100.1 dev eth0
Then try Internet access from hosts through SNAT DPVS
server.
host$ ping www.iqiyi.com
host$ curl www.iqiyi.com
DPVS support IPv6-IPv6 since v1.7 which means VIP/client IP/local IP/rs IP can be IPv6. You can configure IPv6 fullnat just like IPv4:
#!/bin/sh -
# add VIP to WAN interface
./dpip addr add 2001::1/128 dev dpdk1
# route for WAN/LAN access
# add routes for other network or default route if needed.
./dpip route -6 add 2001::/64 dev dpdk1
# add service <VIP:vport> to forwarding, scheduling mode is RR.
# use ipvsadm --help for more info.
./ipvsadm -A -t [2001::1]:80 -s rr
# add two RS for service, forwarding mode is FNAT (-b)
./ipvsadm -a -t [2001::1]:80 -r 2001::3 -b
./ipvsadm -a -t [2001::1]:80 -r 2001::4 -b
# add at least one Local-IP (LIP) for FNAT on LAN interface
./ipvsadm --add-laddr -z 2001::2 -t [2001::1]:80 -F dpdk0
You can use commands to check what's you have set like IPv4 except route:
$./dpip route -6 show
inet6 2001::1/128 dev dpdk0 mtu 1500 scope host
inet6 2001::2/128 dev dpdk0 mtu 1500 scope host
inet6 2001::/64 dev dpdk0 mtu 1500 scope link
You can configure IPv6 OSPF's configuration like this:
$ cat /etc/quagga/ospf6d.conf # may installed to other path
log file /var/log/quagga/ospf6.log
log stdout
log syslog

interface dpdk1.kni area 0.0.0.0
!
If you prefer keepalived, you can configure it like this:
$ cat /etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf
! Configuration File for keepalived
global_defs {

DPVS supports IPv6-IPv4 for fullnat, which means VIP/client IP can be IPv6 and local IP/rs IP can be IPv4, you can configure it like this:
#!/bin/sh -
# add VIP to WAN interface
./dpip addr add 2001::1/128 dev dpdk1
# route for WAN/LAN access
# add routes for other network or default route if needed.
./dpip route -6 add 2001::/64 dev dpdk1
./dpip route add 10.0.0.0/8 dev dpdk0
# add service <VIP:vport> to forwarding, scheduling mode is RR.
# use ipvsadm --help for more info.
./ipvsadm -A -t [2001::1]:80 -s rr
# add two RS for service, forwarding mode is FNAT (-b)
./ipvsadm -a -t [2001::1]:80 -r 10.0.0.1 -b
./ipvsadm -a -t [2001::1]:80 -r 10.0.0.2 -b
# add at least one Local-IP (LIP) for FNAT on LAN interface
./ipvsadm --add-laddr -z 10.0.0.3 -t [2001::1]:80 -F dpdk0
OSPF can just be configured like IPv6-IPv6. If you prefer keepalived, you can configure it like IPv6-IPv6 except real_server/local_address_group.
IPv6 and Flow Control
We found there exists some NICs do not (fully) support Flow Control of IPv6 required by IPv6.
For example, the rte_flow of 82599 10GE Controller (ixgbe PMD) relies on an old fashion flow type flow director
(fdir), which doesn't support IPv6 in its perfect mode, and support only one local IPv4 or IPv6 in its signature mode. DPVS supports the fdir mode config for compatibility.
netif_defs {
...
mode signature
}
Another method to avoid not (fully) supported rte_flow problem is to use the redirect forwarding, which forwards the recieved packets to the correct worker lcore where the session resides by using lockless DPDK rings.
If you want to try this method, turn on the redirect
switch in the dpvs.conf
.
ipvs_defs {
conn {
...
redirect on
}
...
}
It should note that the redirect forwarding may harm performance to a certain degree. Keep it in off
state unless you have no other solutions.
DPVS
supports virtual devices, such as Bonding, VLAN, IP-in-IP and GRE Tunnel.
For Bonding device, both DPVS
and connected Switch/Router need to set the Bonding interfaces with same Bonding mode. Note that DPVS
just supports bonding mode 0 and 4 for now. To enable Bonding device on DPVS
, please refer conf/dpvs.bond.conf.sample. Each Bonding device needs one or more DPDK Physical devices (dpdk0
, ...) to work as its slaves.
To use VLAN device, you can use dpip
tool, VLAN device can be created based on real DPDK Physical device (e.g., dpdk0
, dpdk1
) or Bonding device (e.g., bond0
). But cannot create VLAN device on VLAN device.
This is the VLAN example, please check dpip vlan help
for more info.
$ dpip vlan add dpdk0.100 link dpdk0 proto 802.1q id 100
$ dpip vlan add link dpdk0 proto 802.1q id 101 # auto generate dev name
$ dpip vlan add link dpdk1 id 102
$ dpip vlan add link bond1 id 103
DPVS
support tunnel devices, including IP-in-IP
and GRE
tunnel. This can be used for example "SNAT-GRE" cluster, remote hosts use tunnel to access Internet through DPVS
SNAT cluster.
Setting up tunnel device is just like what we do on Linux, use dpip
instead of ip(8)
.
$ dpip tunnel add mode ipip ipip1 local 1.1.1.1 remote 2.2.2.2
$ dpip tunnel add gre1 mode gre local 1.1.1.1 remote 2.2.2.2 dev dpdk0
You can also use keepalived to configure tunnel instead of using ipvsadm.
tunnel_group tunnel_gre {
tunnel_entry gre100 {
kind gre
local 10.62.5.10
remote 10.62.5.20
}
tunnel_entry gre200 {
kind gre
local 10.62.5.10
remote 10.62.6.10
}
tunnel_entry gre300 {
kind gre
local 10.62.5.10
remote 10.62.6.11
}
}
Please also check dpip tunnel help
for details.
Notes:
- RSS schedule all packets to same queue/CPU since underlay source IP may the same. If one lcore's
sa_pool
gets full,sa_miss
happens. This is not a problem for some NICs which support inner RSS for tunnelling.rte_flow
/rss
won't works well on tunnel deivce, do not use tunnel for FNAT.
Like DPDK Physical device, the Bonding and VLAN Virtual devices (e.g., bond0
and dpdk0.100
) have their own related KNI
devices on Linux environment (e.g., bond0.kni
, dpdk0.100.kni
).
This is the example devices relationship between physical, vlan, bonding and KNI
devices.
To configure DPVS
(FNAT
/DR
/Tunnel
/SNAT
, one-arm
/two-arm
, keepalived
/ospfd
) for Virtual device is nothing special. Just "replace" the logical interfaces on sections above (like dpdk0
, dpdk1
, dpdk1.kni
) with corresponding virtual devices.
As we know, TOA
is used to get TCP's real Client IP/Port in LVS FNAT mode. We introduce UDP Option of Address or UOA
, to let RS
being able to retrieve real client IP/Port for the scenario source IP/port are modified by middle boxes (like UDP FNAT).
To achieve this,
- The kernel module
uoa.ko
is needed to be installed onRS
, and - the program on
RS
just need agetsockopt(2)
call to get the real client IP/port.
The example C code for RS to fetch Real Client IP can be found here.
rs$ insmod uoa.ko
rs$ cat /proc/net/uoa_stats
Success Miss Invalid|UOA Got None Saved Ack-Fail
12866352 317136864 0 3637127 341266254 3628560 0
Statistics are supported for debug purpose. Note that recvfrom(2)
is kept untouched, it will still return the source IP/port in packets, means the IP/port modified or translated by DPVS
in UDP FNAT
mode.
It's useful to send the data back by socket. Please note UDP socket is connect-less, one socket-fd
can be used to communicate with different peers.
Actually, we use private IP option to implement UOA
at first, and later we add another implementation with private protocol, please check the details in uoa.md.
- DPDK build and install
Before DPDK build and install ,fix code for ubuntu in vm
$ cd dpdk-stable-17.05.2/

$ echo 1024 > /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
- Build DPVS on Ubuntu
may need to install dependencies, like
openssl
,popt
andnumactl
, e.g.,apt-get install libpopt-dev libssl-dev libnuma-dev
(Ubuntu). Also note that certain CPU flags must be enabled such asSSSE3
.
- Launch DPVS on Ubuntu
Now, dpvs.conf
must be put at /etc/dpvs.conf
, just copy it from conf/dpvs.conf.single-nic.sample
.
$ cp conf/dpvs.conf.single-nic.sample /etc/dpvs.conf
The NIC for Ubuntu may not support flow control(rte_flow) required by DPVS. For that case, please use 'single worker', and disable flow control.

Generally, DPVS is a network process running on physical server which is usually equipped with dozens of CPUs and vast sufficient memory. DPVS is CPU/memory efficient, so the CPU/memory resources on a general physical server are usually far from fully used. Thus we may hope to run multiple independent DPVS instances on a server to make the most out of it. A DPVS instance may use 1~4 NIC ports, depending on if the ports are bonding and the network topology of two-arm or one-arm. Extra NICs are needed if we want to run multiple DPVS instances because one NIC port should be managed only by one DPVS instance. Now let's make insights into the details of multiple DPVS instances.
The CPUs used by DPVS are always busy loop. If a CPU is assigned to two DPVS instances simultaneously, then both instances are to suffer from dramatic processing delay. So different instances must run on different CPUs, which is achieved by the procedures below.
- Start DPVS with EAL options
-l CORELIST
or--lcores COREMAP
or-c COREMASK
to specify on which CPUs the instance is to run. - Configure corresponding CPUs into DPVS config file (config key: worker_defs/worker */cpu_id).
It's suggested we select the CPUs and NIC ports on the same numa node on numa-aware platform. Performance degrades if the NIC ports and CPUs of a DPVS instance are on different numa nodes.
As is known, DPVS takes advantage of hugepage memory. The hugepage memory of different DPVS instances can be isolated by using different memory mapping files. The DPDK EAL option --file-prefix
specifies the name prefix of memory mapping file. Thus multiple DPVS instances can run simultaneously by specifying unique name prefixes of hugepage memory with this EAL option.
- DPVS Process Isolation
Every DPVS instance must have an unique PID file, a config file, and an IPC socket file, which are specified by the following DPVS options respectively.
-p, --pid-file FILE
-c, --conf FILE
-x, --ipc-file FILE
For example,
./bin/dpvs -c /etc/dpvs1.conf -p /var/run/dpvs1.pid -x /var/run/dpvs1.ipc -- --file-prefix=dpvs1 -a 0000:4b:00.0 -a 0000:4b:00.1 -l 0-8 --main-lcore 0
- Keepalived Process Isolation
One DPVS instance corresponds to one keepalived instance, and vice versa. Similarly, different keepalived processes must have unique config files and PID files. Note that depending on the configurations, keepalived for DPVS may consist of 3 daemon processes, i.e, the main process, the health check subprocess, and the vrrp subprocess. The config files and PID files for different keepalived instances can be specified by the following options, respectively.
-f, --use-file=FILE
-p, --pid=FILE
-c, --checkers_pid=FILE
-r, --vrrp_pid=FILE
For example,
./bin/keepalived -D -f etc/keepalived/keepalived1.conf --pid=/var/run/keepalived1.pid --vrrp_pid=/var/run/vrrp1.pid --checkers_pid=/var/run/checkers1.pid
Dpip
and ipvsadm
are the utility tools used to configure DPVS. By default, they works well on the single DPVS instance server without any extra settings. But on the multiple DPVS instance server, an envrionment variable DPVS_IPC_FILE
should be preset as the DPVS's IPC socket file to which ipvsadm/dpip wants to talk. Refer to the the previous part "DPVS Process Isolation" for how to specify different IPC socket files for multiple DPVS instances. For example,
DPVS_IPC_FILE=/var/run/dpvs1.ipc ipvsadm -ln
# or equivalently,
export DPVS_IPC_FILE=/var/run/dpvs1.ipc
ipvsadm -ln
The multiple DPVS instances running on a server are independent, that is DPVS adopts the deployment model Running Multiple Independent DPDK Applications, which requires the instances cannot share any NIC ports. We can use the EAL options "-a, --allow" or "-b, --block" to allow/disable the NIC ports for a DPVS instance. However, Linux KNI kernel module only supports one DPVS instance in a specific network namespace (refer to kernel/linux/kni/kni_misc.c). Basically, DPVS provides two solutions to the problem.
- Solution 1: Disable KNI on all other DPVS instances except the first one. A global config item
kni
has been added to DPVS since now.
# dpvs.conf
global_defs {
...
<init> kni on <default on, on|off>
...
}
- Solution 2: Run DPVS instances in different network namespaces. It also resolves the route conflicts for multiple KNI network ports of different DPVS instances. A typical procedure to run a DPVS instance in a network namespace is shown below.
Firstly, create a new network namespace, "dpvsns" for example.
/usr/sbin/ip netns add dpvsns
Secondly, move the NIC ports for this DPVS instance to the newly created network namespace.
/usr/sbin/ip link set eth1 netns dpvsns
/usr/sbin/ip link set eth2 netns dpvsns
/usr/sbin/ip link set eth3 netns dpvsns
Lastly, start DPVS and all its related processes (such as keepalived, routing daemon) in the network namespace.
/usr/sbin/ip netns exec dpvsns ./bin/dpvs -c /etc/dpvs2.conf -p /var/run/dpvs2.pid -x /var/run/dpvs2.ipc -- --file-prefix=dpvs2 -a 0000:cb:00.1 -a 0000:ca:00.0 -a 0000:ca:00.1 -l 12-20 --main-lcore 12
/usr/sbin/ip netns exec dpvsns ./bin/keepalived -D --pid=/var/run/keepalived2.pid --vrrp_pid=/var/run/vrrp2.pid --checkers_pid=/var/run/checkers2.pid -f etc/keepalived/keepalived2.conf
/usr/sbin/ip netns exec dpvsns /usr/sbin/bird -f -c /etc/bird2.conf -s /var/run/bird2/bird.ctl
...
For performance improvement, we can enable multiple kthread mode when multiple DPVS instances are deployed on a server. In this mode, each KNI port is processed by a dedicated kthread rather than a shared kthread.
insmod rte_kni.ko kthread_mode=multiple carrier=on
When DPVS
is not working as expected, please consider the following debug solutions, listed with the order from easy to hard.
- Enable more logs.
- Packet capture analysis.
- Source-code debug using
gdb
or something the like.
We don't want to cover the source-code debug in detail as it's nothing special with debuging any other userspace programs. Just turn on DEBUG
flag defined in src/Makefile, recompile DPVS, and gdb it step by step. It's the most basic and effective debug solution despite that it requires some knowledge about DPVS source codes and debug skills.
Firstly, DPVS runs with WARNING
log level by default. You can change it in /etc/dpvs.conf
and reload DPVS with kill -SIGHUP
. DPVS supports 8 log levels listed below.
- EMERG
- ALERT
- CRIT
- ERR
- WARNING
- NOTICE
- INFO
- DEBUG
Use low level log such as "INFO" or "DEBUG" may help find more clues to your problem.
Secondly, some modules support more detailed debug log only if you enable it when compile DPVS. The modular debug options are available in config.mk, some of which are listed below. Change the value to "y" and recompile DPVS if you want to debug a module.
- CONFIG_DPVS_IPVS_DEBUG # for ipvs forwarding debug
- CONFIG_RECORD_BIG_LOOP # for performance tuning
- CONFIG_TIMER_MEASURE # for timer accuracy debug
- CONFIG_TIMER_DEBUG # for dpvs timer debug
- CONFIG_MSG_DEBUG # for dpvs lcore msg and ipc debug
- CONFIG_DPVS_MBUF_DEBUG # for mbuf debug
- CONFIG_DPVS_NEIGH_DEBUG # for neighbor module debug
- CONFIG_NDISC_DEBUG # for ndisc module debug
- CONFIG_DPVS_SAPOOL_DEBUG # for sapool module debug
- CONFIG_SYNPROXY_DEBUG # for syn-proxy debug
- CONFIG_DPVS_MP_DEBUG # for memory pool debug
- ... ...
Note that logs may influence performance a lot. Turn off debug log in production environments is strongly advised.
Since DPVS is driven with DPDK PMD driver and kernel-bypass, tradiontial packet capture tool like tcpdump
, wireshark
cannot work directly with DPVS. DPVS supports two mechanisms for packet capture: forward-to-kni, and dpdk-pdump.
Note: Both packet capture mechanisms affect performance a lot. Do NOT enable them in production environments!
We make use of the following test case to explain the two packet capture mechanisms.
# cat pkt-cap.sh
#!/bin/bash
./bin/dpvs &
sleep 40 # wait for DPVS up
./bin/dpip addr add 192.168.88.12/24 dev dpdk0 # Host IP address
./bin/dpip addr add 192.168.88.100/32 dev dpdk0 # VIP

The idea is to copy all inbound and outbound packets (mbufs) on DPDK ports and deliver them to corresponding KNI devices. Then capture packets with tcdpump
on KNI devices. The feature can be enabled/disabled by dpip link
command.
dpip link set <port> forward2kni on # enable forward2kni on <port>
dpip link set <port> forward2kni off # disable forward2kni on <port>
As with our test case, firstly set up KNI interface and enable its forward2kni
.
$ ip link set dpdk0.kni up # just setup dpdk0.kni, do not configure IP
$ ./bin/dpip link set dpdk0 forward2kni on # enable forward2kni on dpdk0
Then capture packets of IPv4 of network 192.168.88.0/24 using tcpdump
on dpdk0.kni
.
$ tcpdump -i dpdk0.kni -nn ip and net 192.168.88
Finally, generate ICMP traffic targeted at host IP 192.168.88.12 and HTTP traffic targeted at TCP service 192.168.88.100:80 from client 192.168.88.15.

Check tcpdump output then, it shows that ICMP host ping packets, and the whole HTTP flow are captured by tcpdump
working on interface dpdk0.kni
. Note that both inbound and outbound packets are captured.

The dpdk-pdump
runs as a DPDK secondary process and is capable of enabling packet capture on dpdk ports. DPVS works as the primary process for dpdk-pdump, which should enable the packet capture framework by setting global_defs/pdump
to be on
in /etc/dpvs.conf
when DPVS starts up.
Refer to dpdk-pdump doc for its usage. DPVS extends dpdk-pdump with a DPDK patch to add some packet filtering features. Run dpdk-pdump -- --help
to find all supported pdump params.
usage: dpdk-pdump [EAL options] -- --pdump '(port= | device_id=),(queue=<queue_id>),(rx-dev= | tx-dev=,[host= | src-host=
Well, it's time to demonstrate how to use dpdk-pdump with our test case.
Firstly, run DPVS with pdump
set to be on
in /etc/dpvs.conf
.
Then, start dpdk-pdump
process on DPVS server. We run dpdk-pdump
twice to filter out ICMP packets and TCP packets and saved them into files icmp.pcap
and tcp.pcap
, respectively.
