Detailed Description

A BIER Table is the bit-indexed forwarding table.

Each entry (bit-position) represents one destination, and its reachability

The number of entries in a table is thus the maximum supported bit-position. Since this is smal <4096, the table is a flat arry

Field Documentation

index_t* bier_table_t_::bt_entries

Entries in the table This is a vector sized to the appropriate number of entries given the table's supported Bit-string length.

Definition at line 71 of file bier_table.h.

index_t* bier_table_t_::bt_fmasks

f-masks in the ECMP table This is a vector sized to the appropriate number of entries given the table's supported Bit-string length.

In the ECMP table the LB choice has been pre-resolved, so each entry links to just one f-mask, i.e. there is a 1:1 mapping of bit-position to fmask. For efficient forwarding we collapse the fmasks up to the table.

bier_table_id_t bier_table_t_::bt_id

The identity/key or the table.

we need the hdr_len in the data-path

fib_node_index_t bier_table_t_::bt_lfei

The index of the lfib entry created for this table.

Only the EOS is required.
