+.TH "Tunnel metadata manipulation action in tc" 8 "10 Nov 2016" "iproute2" "Linux"

+.SH NAME
+tunnel_key - Tunnel metadata manipulation
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.in +8
+.ti -8
+.BR tc " ... " "action tunnel_key" " { " unset " | "
+.IR SET " }"
+
+.ti -8
+.IR SET " := "
+.BR set " " src_ip
+.IR ADDRESS

+.BI tos " TOS"
+.BI ttl " TTL"
+.RB "[ " csum " | " nocsum " ]"
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B tunnel_key
+action combined with a shared IP tunnel device, allows one to perform IP tunnel en-
+or decapsulation on a packet, reflected by
+the operation modes
+.IR UNSET " and " SET .
+The
+.I UNSET
+mode is optional - even without using it, the metadata information will be
+released automatically when packet processing will be finished.
+.IR UNSET
+function could be used in cases when traffic is forwarded between two tunnels,
+where the metadata from the first tunnel will be used for encapsulation done by
+the second tunnel.
+.IR SET
+mode requires the source and destination ip
+.I ADDRESS
+and the tunnel key id
+.I KEY_ID
+which will be used by the ip tunnel shared device to create the tunnel header. The
+.B tunnel_key
+action is useful only in combination with a
+.B mirred redirect
+action to a shared IP tunnel device which will use the metadata (for
+.I SET
+) and unset the metadata created by it (for
+.I UNSET
+).
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B unset
+Unset the tunnel metadata created by the IP tunnel device. This function is
+not mandatory and might be used only in some specific use cases (as explained
+above).
+.TP
+.B set
+Set tunnel metadata to be used by the IP tunnel device. Requires
+.B src_ip
+and
+.B dst_ip
+options.
+.B id
+,
+.B dst_port
+,
+.B geneve_opts
+,
+.B vxlan_opts
+and
+.B erspan_opts
+are optional.
+.RS
+.TP
+.B id
+Tunnel ID (for example VNI in VXLAN tunnel)
+.TP
+.B src_ip
+Outer header source IP address (IPv4 or IPv6)
+.TP
+.B dst_ip
+Outer header destination IP address (IPv4 or IPv6)
+.TP
+.B dst_port
+Outer header destination UDP port
+.TP
+.B geneve_opts
+Geneve variable length options.
+.B geneve_opts
+is specified in the form CLASS:TYPE:DATA, where CLASS is represented as a
+16bit hexadecimal value, TYPE as an 8bit hexadecimal value and DATA as a
+variable length hexadecimal value. Additionally multiple options may be
+listed using a comma delimiter.
+.TP
+.B vxlan_opts
+Vxlan metadata options.
+.B vxlan_opts
+is specified in the form GBP, as a 32bit number. Multiple options is not
+supported.
+.TP
+.B erspan_opts
+Erspan metadata options.
+.B erspan_opts
+is specified in the form VERSION:INDEX:DIR:HWID, where VERSION is represented
+as a 8bit number, INDEX as an 32bit number, DIR and HWID as a 8bit number.
+Multiple options is not supported. Note INDEX is used when VERSION is 1,
+and DIR and HWID are used when VERSION is 2.
+.TP
+.B tos
+Outer header TOS
+.TP
+.B ttl
+Outer header TTL
+.TP
+.RB [ no ] csum
+Controls outer UDP checksum. When set to
+.B csum
+(which is default), the outer UDP checksum is calculated and included in the
+packets. When set to
+.BR nocsum ,
+outer UDP checksum is zero. Note that when using zero UDP checksums with
+IPv6, the other tunnel endpoint must be configured to accept such packets.
+In Linux, this would be the
+.B udp6zerocsumrx
+option for the VXLAN tunnel interface.
+.IP
+If using
+.B nocsum
+with IPv6, be sure you know what you are doing. Zero UDP checksums provide
+weaker protection against corrupted packets. See RFC6935 for details.
+.TP
+.B nofrag
+disallow IP fragmentation.
+.RE
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The following example encapsulates incoming ICMP packets on eth0 into a vxlan
+tunnel, by setting metadata to VNI 11, source IP 11.11.0.1 and destination IP
+11.11.0.2, and by redirecting the packet with the metadata to device vxlan0,
+which will do the actual encapsulation using the metadata:
+
+.RS
+.EX
+#tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress
+#tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent ffff: \\
+ flower \\
+ ip_proto icmp \\
+ action tunnel_key set \\
+ src_ip 11.11.0.1 \\
+ dst_ip 11.11.0.2 \\
+ id 11 \\
+ action mirred egress redirect dev vxlan0
+.EE
+.RE
+
+Here is an example of the
+.B unset
+function: Incoming VXLAN traffic with outer IP's and VNI 11 is decapsulated by
+vxlan0 and metadata is unset before redirecting to tunl1 device:
+
+.RS
+.EX
+#tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress
+#tc filter add dev vxlan0 protocol ip parent ffff: \
+ flower \\
+ enc_src_ip 11.11.0.2 enc_dst_ip 11.11.0.1 enc_key_id 11 \
+ action tunnel_key unset \
+ action mirred egress redirect dev tunl1
