GoVPP Mux

The govppmux is a Core Agent Plugin which allows other plugins to access VPP independently on each other by means of connection multiplexing.

Any plugin (core or external) that interacts with VPP can ask govppmux to get its own, potentially customized, communication channel to running VPP instance. Behind the scenes, all channels share the same connection created during the plugin initialization using govpp core.

API

Connection

By default, GoVPP connects to that instance of VPP which uses the default shared memory segment prefix. This is because it is assumed that there is only a single VPP running in a sand-boxed environment together with the agent (e.g. through containerization). In case VPP runs with customized SHM prefix, or there are several VPP instances running, GoVPP needs to know the prefix in order to connect to the correct VPP instance - the prefix has to be put in the govppmux configuration file (govpp.conf) with key shm-prefix and value matching VPP shared memory prefix.

Multiplexing

NewAPIChannel returns a new API channel for communication with VPP via govpp core. It uses default buffer sizes for the request and reply Go channels (by default both are 100 messages long).

If it is expected that the VPP may get overloaded at peak loads, for example if the user plugin sends configuration requests in bulks, then it is recommended to use NewAPIChannelBuffered and increase the buffer size for requests appropriately. Similarly, NewAPIChannelBuffered allows to configure the size of the buffer for responses. This is also useful since the buffer for responses is also used to carry VPP notifications and statistics which may temporarily rapidly grow in size and frequency. By increasing the reply channel size, the probability of dropping messages from VPP decreases at the cost of increased memory footprint.

Example

The following example shows how to dump VPP interfaces using a multi-response request:

// Create a new VPP channel with the default configuration.
plugin.vppCh, err = govppmux.NewAPIChannel()
if err != nil {
    // Handle error condition...
}
// Close VPP channel.
defer safeclose.Close(plugin.vppCh)

req := &interfaces.SwInterfaceDump{}
reqCtx := plugin.vppCh.SendMultiRequest(req)

for {
    msg := &interfaces.SwInterfaceDetails{}
    stop, err := reqCtx.ReceiveReply(msg)
    if err != nil {
        // Handle error condition...
    }

    // Break out of the loop in case there are no more messages.
    if stop {
        break
    }

    log.Info("Found interface with sw_if_index=", msg.SwIfIndex)
    // Process the message...
}

Configuration

The plugin allows to configure parameters of vpp health-check probe. The items that can be configured are:

  • health check probe interval - time between health check probes
  • health check reply timeout - if the reply doesn't arrive until timeout elapses probe is considered failed
  • health check threshold - number of consequent failed health checks until an error is reported
  • reply timeout - if the reply from channel doesn't arrive until timeout elapses, the request fails
  • shm-prefix - used for connection to a VPP instance which is not using default shared memory prefix
  • resync-after-reconnect - allows to run resync after recoonection

Trace

Duration of the VPP binary api call can be measured using trace feature. These data are logged after every event(any resync, interfaces, bridge domains, fib entries etc.). Enable trace in govpp.conf:

trace-enabled: true or trace-enabled: false

Trace is disabled by default (if there is no config available).
