Types

type Datapath

type Datapath interface {
	// Node must return the handler for node events
	Node() NodeHandler

	// LocalNodeAddressing must return the node addressing implementation
	// of the local node
	LocalNodeAddressing() NodeAddressing

	// WriteNodeConfig writes the implementation-specific configuration of
	// node-wide options into the specified writer.
	WriteNodeConfig(io.Writer, *LocalNodeConfiguration) error

	// WriteNetdevConfig writes the implementation-specific configuration
	// of configurable options to the specified writer. Options specified
	// here will apply to base programs and not to endpoints, though
	// endpoints may have equivalent configurable options.
	WriteNetdevConfig(io.Writer, DeviceConfiguration) error

	// WriteTemplateConfig writes the implementation-specific configuration
	// of configurable options for BPF templates to the specified writer.
	WriteTemplateConfig(w io.Writer, cfg EndpointConfiguration) error

	// WriteEndpointConfig writes the implementation-specific configuration
	// of configurable options for the endpoint to the specified writer.
	WriteEndpointConfig(w io.Writer, cfg EndpointConfiguration) error
}

Datapath is the interface to abstract all datapath interactions. The abstraction allows to implement the datapath requirements with multiple implementations

type DeviceConfiguration

type DeviceConfiguration interface {
	// GetCIDRPrefixLengths fetches the lists of unique IPv6 and IPv4
	// prefix lengths used for datapath lookups, each of which is sorted
	// from longest prefix to shortest prefix. It must return more than
	// one element in each returned array.
	GetCIDRPrefixLengths() (s6, s4 []int)

	// GetOptions fetches the configurable datapath options from the owner.
	GetOptions() *option.IntOptions
}

DeviceConfiguration is an interface for injecting configuration of datapath options that affect lookups and logic applied at a per-device level, whether those are devices associated with the endpoint or associated with the host.

type EndpointConfiguration

type EndpointConfiguration interface {
	DeviceConfiguration

	// GetID returns a locally-significant endpoint identification number.
	GetID() uint64
	// StringID returns the string-formatted version of the ID from GetID().
	StringID() string
	// GetIdentity returns a globally-significant numeric security identity.
	GetIdentity() identity.NumericIdentity

	IPv4Address() addressing.CiliumIPv4
	IPv6Address() addressing.CiliumIPv6
	GetNodeMAC() mac.MAC

	// TODO: Move this detail into the datapath
	HasIpvlanDataPath() bool
	ConntrackLocalLocked() bool
}

EndpointConfiguration provides datapath implementations a clean interface to access endpoint-specific configuration when configuring the datapath.

type LocalNodeConfiguration

type LocalNodeConfiguration struct {
	// MtuConfig is the MTU configuration of the node.
	//
	// This field is immutable at runtime. The value will not change in
	// subsequent calls to NodeConfigurationChanged().
	MtuConfig mtu.Configuration

	// AuxiliaryPrefixes is the list of auxiliary prefixes that should be
	// configured in addition to the node PodCIDR
	//
	// This field is mutable. The implementation of
	// NodeConfigurationChanged() must adjust the routes accordingly.
	AuxiliaryPrefixes []*cidr.CIDR

	// EnableIPv4 enables use of IPv4. Routing to the IPv4 allocation CIDR
	// of other nodes must be enabled.
	//
	// This field is immutable at runtime. The value will not change in
	// subsequent calls to NodeConfigurationChanged().
	EnableIPv4 bool

	// EnableIPv6 enables use of IPv6. Routing to the IPv6 allocation CIDR
	// of other nodes must be enabled.
	//
	// This field is immutable at runtime. The value will not change in
	// subsequent calls to NodeConfigurationChanged().
	EnableIPv6 bool

	// UseSingleClusterRoute enables the use of a single cluster-wide route
	// to direct traffic from the host into the Cilium datapath.  This
	// avoids the requirement to install a separate route for each node
	// CIDR and can thus improve the overhead when operating large clusters
	// with significant node event churn due to auto-scaling.
	//
	// Use of UseSingleClusterRoute must be compatible with
	// EnableAutoDirectRouting. When both are enabled, any direct node
	// route must take precedence over the cluster-wide route as per LPM
	// routing definition.
	//
	// This field is mutable. The implementation of
	// NodeConfigurationChanged() must adjust the routes accordingly.
	UseSingleClusterRoute bool

	// EnableEncapsulation enables use of encapsulation in communication
	// between nodes.
	//
	// This field is immutable at runtime. The value will not change in
	// subsequent calls to NodeConfigurationChanged().
	EnableEncapsulation bool

	// EnableAutoDirectRouting enables the use of direct routes for
	// communication between nodes if two nodes have direct L2
	// connectivity.
	//
	// EnableAutoDirectRouting must be compatible with EnableEncapsulation
	// and must provide a fallback to use encapsulation if direct routing
	// is not feasible and encapsulation is enabled.
	//
	// This field is immutable at runtime. The value will not change in
	// subsequent calls to NodeConfigurationChanged().
	EnableAutoDirectRouting bool

	// EnableLocalNodeRoute enables installation of the route which points
	// the allocation prefix of the local node. Disabling this option is
	// useful when another component is responsible for the routing of the
	// allocation CIDR IPs into Cilium endpoints.
	EnableLocalNodeRoute bool

	// EnableIPSec enables IPSec routes
	EnableIPSec bool
}

LocalNodeConfiguration represents the configuration of the local node

type NodeAddressing

type NodeAddressing interface {
	IPv6() NodeAddressingFamily
	IPv4() NodeAddressingFamily
}

NodeAddressing implements addressing of a node

type NodeAddressingFamily

type NodeAddressingFamily interface {
	// Router is the address that will act as the router on each node where
	// an agent is running on. Endpoints have a default route that points
	// to this address.
	Router() net.IP

	// PrimaryExternal is the primary external address of the node. Nodes
	// must be able to reach each other via this address.
	PrimaryExternal() net.IP

	// AllocationCIDR is the CIDR used for IP allocation of all endpoints
	// on the node
	AllocationCIDR() *cidr.CIDR
}

NodeAddressingFamily is the node addressing information for a particular address family

type NodeHandler

type NodeHandler interface {
	// NodeAdd is called when a node is discovered for the first time.
	NodeAdd(newNode node.Node) error

	// NodeUpdate is called when a node definition changes. Both the old
	// and new node definition is provided. NodeUpdate() is never called
	// before NodeAdd() is called for a particular node.
	NodeUpdate(oldNode, newNode node.Node) error

	// NodeDelete is called after a node has been deleted
	NodeDelete(node node.Node) error

	// NodeValidateImplementation is called to validate the implementation
	// of the node in the datapath
	NodeValidateImplementation(node node.Node) error

	// NodeConfigurationChanged is called when the local node configuration
	// has changed
	NodeConfigurationChanged(config LocalNodeConfiguration) error
}

NodeHandler handles node related events such as addition, update or deletion of nodes or changes to the local node configuration.

Node events apply to the local node as well as to remote nodes. The implementation can differ between the own local node and remote nodes by calling node.IsLocal().
