- the VALE switch now support up to 254 destinations per switch, unicast or broadcast (multicast goes to all ports). - we can attach hw interfaces and the host stack to a VALE switch, which means we will be able to use it more or less as a native bridge (minor tweaks still necessary). A 'vale-ctl' program is supplied in tools/tools/netmap to attach/detach ports the switch, and list current configuration. - the lookup function in the VALE switch can be reassigned to something else, similar to the pf hooks. This will enable attaching the firewall, or other processing functions (e.g. in-kernel openvswitch) directly on the netmap port. The internal API used by device drivers does not change. Userspace applications should be recompiled because we bump NETMAP_API as we now use some fields in the struct nmreq that were previously ignored -- otherwise, data structures are the same. Manpages will be committed separately. |
