| + | * igmp group membership is stored as special fdb entry | ||
| + | * is_static field in struct net_switch_fdb_entry is change to a bitwise field: | ||
| + | * b0 tells if entry is dynamic or static | ||
| + | * b1 tells if entry is regular fdb entry or igmp membership entry | ||
| + | * for igmp membership entries, a b0 value corresponding to " | ||
| + | * all igmp membership entries have a virtual MAC address formed as 01-00 plus the group address (4 bytes) | ||
| + | * when flooding to all ports in a group, the following actions are taken: | ||
| + | * first the virtual mac corresponding to the packet destination is build; | ||
| + | * the fdb bucket corresponding to the virtual mac is determined; | ||
| + | * the fdb bucket is walked to determine the ports to forward to: | ||
| + | * virtual mac must be equal (between fdb entry and packet) | ||
| + | * vlan must be equal (between fdb entry and packet) | ||
| + | * igmp group listing is done only on the slow path (upon user request) by walking the entire fdb and building the igmp group list: | ||
| + | * the kernel module is asked for a list of all igmp membership fdb entries (with the ability to filter by a specific group and/or vlan); | ||
| + | * userspace code walks the fdb entry list and builds a (temporary) list of groups and, for each group, a list of member ports | ||
| + | |||
| + | The following changes need to be made to existing code: | ||
| + | * fdb queries from userspace need to filter out igmp membership entries; | ||
| + | * standard (non-multicast) packet fdb lookup needs to ignore igmp membership entries; | ||
| ===== Forwarding to mrouter ports ===== | ===== Forwarding to mrouter ports ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Whether a port is mrouter or not is a function of the port and vlan. In other words, mrouter can be stored as a flag (bit) depending on the port and vlan. Since vlan number is limited and relatively small (4096), mrouter information can be stored as a per-port vlan-indexed bitmap. The data structure would be similar to vlan membership for trunk ports. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Flooding to all mrouter ports in a specific vlan becomes very simple: | ||
| + | * use the VDB to iterate through all ports in the required vlan; | ||
| + | * for each port check if it's mrouter in the required vlan; | ||
| + | |||
| + | Algorithm can be easily cloned from sw_flood(). | ||
