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.

Here is the call graph for this function:

tuntap_ip4_add_del_interface_address()

void tuntap_ip4_add_del_interface_address	(	ip4_main_t *	im,
		uword	opaque,
		u32	sw_if_index,
		ip4_address_t *	address,
		u32	address_length,
		u32	if_address_index,
		u32	is_delete
	)

Add or Del IP4 address to tun/tap interface.

Parameters

*im	- ip4_main_t
opaque	- uword
sw_if_index	- u32
*address	- ip4_address_t
is_delete	- u32

Tuntap disabled, or using a "normal" interface.

tuntap_ip6_add_del_interface_address()

void tuntap_ip6_add_del_interface_address	(	ip6_main_t *	im,
		uword	opaque,
		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 counterparts. 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
