2021-08-27Add LinkEndpoint.WriteRawPacket with stubsGhanan Gowripalan
...returning unsupported errors. PiperOrigin-RevId: 393388991
2021-08-19Add loopback interface as an ethernet-based deviceGhanan Gowripalan
...to match Linux behaviour. We can see evidence of Linux representing loopback as an ethernet-based device below: ``` # EUI-48 based MAC addresses. $ ip link show lo 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 # tcpdump showing ethernet frames when sniffing loopback and logging the # link-type as EN10MB (Ethernet). $ sudo tcpdump -i lo -e -c 2 -n tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v[v]... for full protocol decode listening on lo, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), snapshot length 262144 bytes 03:09:05.002034 00:00:00:00:00:00 > 00:00:00:00:00:00, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 66: 127.0.0.1.9557 > 127.0.0.1.36828: Flags [.], ack 3562800815, win 15342, options [nop,nop,TS val 843174495 ecr 843159493], length 0 03:09:05.002094 00:00:00:00:00:00 > 00:00:00:00:00:00, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 66: 127.0.0.1.36828 > 127.0.0.1.9557: Flags [.], ack 1, win 6160, options [nop,nop,TS val 843174496 ecr 843159493], length 0 2 packets captured 116 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernel ``` Wireshark shows a similar result as the tcpdump example above.

2021-04-21Only carry GSO options in the packet bufferGhanan Gowripalan
With this change, GSO options no longer needs to be passed around as a function argument in the write path. This change is done in preparation for a later change that defers segmentation, and may change GSO options for a packet as it flows down the stack. Updates #170. PiperOrigin-RevId: 369774872
2021-01-28Change tcpip.Error to an interfaceTamir Duberstein
This makes it possible to add data to types that implement tcpip.Error. ErrBadLinkEndpoint is removed as it is unused. PiperOrigin-RevId: 354437314
2021-01-15Only pass stack.Route's fields to LinkEndpointsGhanan Gowripalan
stack.Route is used to send network packets and resolve link addresses. A LinkEndpoint does not need to do either of these and only needs the route's fields at the time of the packet write request. Since LinkEndpoints only need the route's fields when writing packets, pass a stack.RouteInfo instead. PiperOrigin-RevId: 352108405
2021-01-06Do not filter frames in ethernet link endpointGhanan Gowripalan
Ethernet frames are usually filtered at the hardware-level so there is no need to filter the frames in software. For test purposes, a new link endpoint was introduced to filter frames based on their destination. PiperOrigin-RevId: 350422941
2020-12-03Make `stack.Route` thread safePeter Johnston
Currently we rely on the user to take the lock on the endpoint that owns the route, in order to modify it safely. We can instead move `Route.RemoteLinkAddress` under `Route`'s mutex, and allow non-locking and thread-safe access to other fields of `Route`. PiperOrigin-RevId: 345461586
2020-10-16Don't include link header when forwarding packetsGhanan Gowripalan
Before this change, if a link header was included in an incoming packet that is forwarded, the packet that gets sent out will take the original packet and add a link header to it while keeping the old link header. This would make the sent packet look like: OUTGOING LINK HDR | INCOMING LINK HDR | NETWORK HDR | ... Obviously this is incorrect as we should drop the incoming link header and only include the outgoing link header. This change fixes this bug.
