Hi,
This series of patches contains the second part of an initial implementation of
the IEEE 802.1Qbg standard: code for the exchange of VDP VSI TLVs between a
host with virtual machines and an adjacent switch.
VDP profiles consisting of mode,mgrid,typeid,typeidversion,instanceid,mac,vlan
can be given to lldpad with lldptool.
A way to deliver profiles to lldpad from libvirt using netlink messages is
currently under development and not yet included in this series.
The profiles are then processed through the VDP/VSI and ECP state machines and
sent out as ECP frames.
ACK frames are received and processed through ECP and VDP/VSI state machines.
It implements a bridge role for a port together with a lldptool command to
switch a port to the bridge role.
The patch applies to lldpad 0.9.34 and still contains code to log low-level
protocol activity more verbosely than it would be necessary in the final
version.
Things that are still missing but planned:
- adapt to final ECP ethertype. code currently uses extended
ethertype (0x88b7) plus OUI.
- more testing
Next steps
- interface to allow registration of profiles with libvirt
- implementation of CDCP
Please review and comment !
Thanks !
Jens
