Documentation

Overview

Package cookie implements a cookie allocator. The preallocated cookies are used to classify flows in the vSwitch, which simplifies management of these flows.

Functions

func CookieMaskForRound

func CookieMaskForRound(round uint64) (uint64, uint64)

CookieMaskForRound returns a cookie and mask value that can be used to select all flows belonging to the provided round.

Types

type Allocator

type Allocator interface {
	// Request cookie IDs of flow categories.
	Request(cat Category) ID
}

Allocator defines operations of a cookie ID allocator.

func NewAllocator

func NewAllocator(round uint64) Allocator

NewAllocator creates a cookie ID allocator by using the given round number. Only last 16 bits of the round number would be used.

type Category

type Category uint64

Category represents the flow entry category.

const (
	Default Category = iota
	Gateway
	Node
	Pod
	Service
	Policy
)

func (Category) String

func (c Category) String() string

type ID

type ID uint64

ID defines segments a cookie ID contains. An ID is composed like:

|------------------------- ID --------------------------|
|- round 16bits -|- category 8bits -|- reserved 40bits -|

The round segment represents the round id. The category segment represents the category of flow this ID belongs.

func (ID) Category

func (i ID) Category() Category

Category returns the category of the ID.

func (ID) Raw

func (i ID) Raw() uint64

Raw returns the unit64 type value of the ID.

func (ID) Round

func (i ID) Round() uint64

Round returns the round number of the ID.

func (ID) String

func (i ID) String() string

String returns the string representation of the ID.
