* [PATCH net-next] erspan: set bso bit based on mirrored packet's len @ 2018-05-14 23:54 William Tu 2018-05-15 5:33 ` Tobin C. Harding 0 siblings, 1 reply; 5+ messages in thread From: William Tu @ 2018-05-14 23:54 UTC (permalink / raw) To: netdev Before the patch, the erspan BSO bit (Bad/Short/Oversized) is not handled. BSO has 4 possible values: 00 --> Good frame with no error, or unknown integrity 11 --> Payload is a Bad Frame with CRC or Alignment Error 01 --> Payload is a Short Frame 10 --> Payload is an Oversized Frame Based the short/oversized definitions in RFC1757, the patch sets the bso bit based on the mirrored packet's size.

But I don't know how to check CRC error at this code point. Isn't it done by the NIC hardware? Thanks for your review! William ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I'll just start with; I don't know anything about ERSPAN "ERSPAN is a Cisco proprietary feature and is available only to Catalyst 6500, 7600, Nexus, and ASR 1000 platforms to date. The ASR 1000 supports ERSPAN source (monitoring) only on Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and port-channel interfaces." https://supportforums.cisco.com/t5/network-infrastructure-documents/understanding-span-rspan-and-erspan/ta-p/3144951 I dug around a bit and none of the files that currently import erspan.h actually use the 'bso' field $ grep bso $(git grep -l 'erspan\.h') include/net/erspan.h: u8 bso = 0; /* Bad/Short/Oversized */ include/net/erspan.h: ershdr->en = bso; net/ipv4/ip_gre.c: ICMP in the real Internet is absolutely infeasible. net/ipv4/ip_gre.c: * ICMP in the real Internet is absolutely infeasible. Normally, AFAICT, the FCS does not get passed to the operating system since its a link layer mechanism. If ERSPAN is passing the FCS when it mirrors frames (does it mirror frames or packets, I don't know?) then surely ERSPAN should provide a function to return the BSO value. So IMHO this patch seems like a just pretense and not really doing anything. Hope this helps, Tobin. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
