Detailed Description

TunTap Kernel stack (reverse) punt/inject path.

This driver runs in one of two distinct modes:

"punt/inject" mode, where we send pkts not otherwise processed by the forwarding to the Linux kernel stack, and
"normal interface" mode, where we treat the Linux kernel stack as a peer.

By default, we select punt/inject mode.

void tuntap_ip6_add_del_interface_address	(	ip6_main_t *	im,

		u32	sw_if_index,
		ip6_address_t *	address,
		u32	address_length,
		u32	if_address_index,
		u32	is_delete
	)

Add or Del tun/tap interface address.

Both the v6 interface address API and the way ifconfig displays subinterfaces differ from their v4 couterparts. The code given here seems to work but YMMV.

Parameters

*im	- ip6_main_t
opaque	- uword
sw_if_index	- u32
*address	- ip6_address_t
address_length	- u32
if_address_index	- u32
is_delete	- u32

Node Identifier:: tuntap-rx

Parameters

*vm	- vlib_main_t
*node	- vlib_node_runtime_t
*frame	- vlib_frame_t

Returns: rc - uword

Make sure we have some RX buffers.

Allocate RX buffers from end of rx_buffers. Turn them into iovecs to pass to readv.

We should have enough buffers left for an MTU sized packet.

Node Identifier:: tuntap-tx

Output node, writes the buffers comprising the incoming frame to the tun/tap device, aka hands them to the Linux kernel stack.

Parameters

*vm	- vlib_main_t
*node	- vlib_node_runtime_t
*frame	- vlib_frame_t
