vpp框架写一个plugin实现负载均衡

首先，需要了解VPP框架和负载均衡的基本原理。

VPP（Vector Packet Processing）是一种高性能网络数据平面处理框架，可以在多核CPU上进行数据包的快速转发和处理。负载均衡是一种将网络流量分摊到多个服务器或网络设备上的技术，以提高系统的可靠性、稳定性和性能。

要实现VPP框架的负载均衡功能，可以编写一个插件（plugin），该插件作为VPP的扩展模块被加载，并对数据包进行分类和转发。以下是一个简单的插件实现示例：

1.创建插件代码文件（lb_plugin.c）并定义插件结构体：

#include <vlib/vlib.h>
#include <vnet/vnet.h>
#include <vnet/ip/ip.h>

typedef struct {
    u32 next_index;
} lb_plugin_trace_t;

/* packet trace format function */
static u8 * format_lb_plugin_trace (u8 * s, va_list * args) {
    lb_plugin_trace_t * t = va_arg (*args, lb_plugin_trace_t *);
    s = format (s, "LB_PLUGIN: next index %d", t->next_index);
    return s;
}

/* plugin main function */
static uword lb_plugin_node_fn (vlib_main_t * vm, vlib_node_runtime_t * node, vlib_frame_t * frame) {
    u32 n_left_from, * from, * to_next;
    lb_plugin_trace_t *t;
    vlib_node_t *n = vlib_get_node_by_name (vm, (u8 *) "lb_plugin");
    u32 next_index = node->cached_next_index;
    vnet_main_t *vnm = vnet_get_main ();
    vnet_interface_main_t *im = &vnm->interface_main;

    from = vlib_frame_vector_args (frame);
    n_left_from = frame->n_vectors;
    to_next = vlib_frame_vector_args (frame);

    while (n_left_from > 0) {
        u32 bi0;
        vlib_buffer_t *b0;
        ethernet_header_t *eth0;
        ip4_header_t *ip0;
        udp_header_t *udp0;
        u32 sw_if_index0;
        u32 dst_addr0;

        /* get next buffer */
        bi0 = from[0];
        b0 = vlib_get_buffer (vm, bi0);

        /* get packet headers */
        eth0 = vlib_buffer_get_current (b0);
        ip0 = (ip4_header_t *)(eth0 + 1);
        udp0 = (udp_header_t *)(ip0 + 1);

        /* get destination interface and address */
        sw_if_index0 = vnet_buffer (b0)->sw_if_index[VLIB_RX];
        dst_addr0 = ip0->dst_address.as_u32;

        /* lookup load balancing table and update next index */
        // TODO: implement load balancing algorithm

        /* set next node and trace */
        vnet_buffer (b0)->sw_if_index[VLIB_TX] = sw_if_index0;
        t = vlib_add_trace (vm, node, b0, sizeof (*t));
        t->next_index = next_index;

        /* send the packet to the next node */
        to_next[0] = bi0;
        to_next += 1;
        n_left_from -= 1;
    }

    /* return number of processed packets */
    vlib_put_next_frame (vm, node, next_index, n_left_from);
    return frame->n_vectors;
}

/* register plugin and node */
VLIB_REGISTER_NODE (lb_plugin_node) = {
    .function = lb_plugin_node_fn,
    .name = "lb_plugin",
    .vector_size = sizeof (u32),
    .format_trace = format_lb_plugin_trace,
    .type = VLIB_NODE_TYPE_INTERNAL,

    .n_errors = 0,
    .error_strings = NULL,

    .n_next_nodes = 1,
    .next_nodes = {
        [0] = "interface-output",
    },
};

clib_error_t *
lb_plugin_init (vlib_main_t * vm) {
    return 0;
}

VLIB_INIT_FUNCTION (lb_plugin_init);

2.实现load balancing算法（这里使用最简单的轮询算法）：

/* load balancing table */
typedef struct {
    u32 sw_if_index;
    ip4_address_t address;
} lb_entry_t;

static lb_entry_t lb_table[] = {
    { 1, {{192,168,1,1}} },
    { 2, {{192,168,1,2}} },
    { 3, {{192,168,1,3}} },
};
static u32 lb_table_size = ARRAY_LEN(lb_table);

/* load balancing algorithm: round robin */
static inline u32 lb_rr (u32 dst_addr) {
    static u32 index = 0;
    u32 i;
    for (i = 0; i < lb_table_size; i++) {
        if (dst_addr == lb_table[index].address.as_u32) {
            u32 sw_if_index = lb_table[index].sw_if_index;
            index = (index + 1) % lb_table_size;
            return sw_if_index;
        }
    }
    return ~0;
}

3. 在插件初始化函数中注册load balancing算法：

clib_error_t *
lb_plugin_init (vlib_main_t * vm) {
    lb_main_t *lbm = &lb_main;
    lbm->lb_rr = lb_rr;
    return 0;
}

4. 在VPP启动配置文件中添加插件配置：

plugins {
    ...
    plugin_path /path/to/plugin/
    plugin lb_plugin.so {
        // TODO: add configuration options
    }
    ...
}

5.启动VPP，测试负载均衡功能。
