net: Generic UDP Encapsulation
Generic UDP Encapsulation (GUE) is UDP encapsulation protocol which
encapsulates packets of various IP protocols. The GUE protocol is
described in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-gue-01.
The receive path of GUE is implemented in the FOU over UDP module (FOU).
This includes a UDP encap receive function for GUE as well as GUE
specific GRO functions. Management and configuration of GUE ports shares
most of the same code with FOU.
For the transmit path, the previous FOU support for IPIP, sit, and GRE
was simply extended for GUE (when GUE is enabled insert the GUE
header on transmit in addition to UDP header inserted for FOU).
Semantically GUE is the same as FOU in that the encapsulation (UDP
and GUE headers) that are inserted on transmission and removed on
reception so that IP packet is processed with the inner header.
This patch set includes:
- Some fixes to FOU, removal of IPv4,v6 specific GRO functions
- Support to configure a GUE receive port
- Implementation of GUE receive path (normal and GRO)
- Additions to ip_tunnel netlink to configure GUE
- GUE header inserion in ip_tunnel transmit path
v2:
- Include net/gue.h in patch set
Testing:
I ran performance numbers using netperf TCP_RR with 200 streams,
comparing encapsulation without GUE, encapsulation with GUE, and
encapsulation with FOU.
