SAI：Switch Abstraction Interface

https://github.com/opencomputeproject/SAI

The Switch Abstraction Interface defines the API to provide a vendor-independent way of controlling forwarding elements, such as a switching ASIC, an NPU or a software switch in a uniform manner.

简单理解，SAI是对转发芯片进行一层功能抽象，SDK为每个模块（如VLAN/PORT/FDB等）提供一组函数集，API通过函数集调用SDK接口从而实现转发面的配置管理；另外实现了一套事件处理回调处理。

不足之处：

1）转发芯片功能抽象不稳定，导致接口或参数频繁变化

2）无协议报文处理模块

3）事件处理功能不完整

4）函数集居然不是注册方式

 

1、main（saiserver.cpp）

1）创建转发芯片：create_switch

sai_api_query(SAI_API_SWITCH, (void**)&sai_switch_api);

attr[0].id = SAI_SWITCH_ATTR_INIT_SWITCH;
attr[0].value.booldata = true;

attr[1].id = SAI_SWITCH_ATTR_SWITCH_STATE_CHANGE_NOTIFY;
attr[1].value.ptr = reinterpret_cast<sai_pointer_t>(&on_switch_state_change); //注册事件处理函数

attr[2].id = SAI_SWITCH_ATTR_SHUTDOWN_REQUEST_NOTIFY;
attr[2].value.ptr = reinterpret_cast<sai_pointer_t>(&on_shutdown_request);

attr[3].id = SAI_SWITCH_ATTR_FDB_EVENT_NOTIFY;
attr[3].value.ptr = reinterpret_cast<sai_pointer_t>(&on_fdb_event);

attr[4].id = SAI_SWITCH_ATTR_PORT_STATE_CHANGE_NOTIFY;
attr[4].value.ptr = reinterpret_cast<
