2019-11-12Discover on-link prefixes from Router Advertisements' Prefix Information optionsGhanan Gowripalan
This change allows the netstack to do NDP's Prefix Discovery as outlined by RFC 4861 section 6.3.4. If configured to do so, when a new on-link prefix is discovered, the routing table will be updated with a device route through the nic the RA arrived at. Likewise, when such a prefix gets invalidated, the device route will be removed. Note, this change will not break existing uses of netstack as the default configuration for the stack options is set in such a way that Prefix Discovery will not be performed. See `stack.Options` and `stack.NDPConfigurations` for more details. This change reuses 1 option and introduces a new one that is required to take advantage of Prefix Discovery, all available under NDPConfigurations: - HandleRAs: Whether or not NDP RAs are processes - DiscoverOnLinkPrefixes: Whether or not Prefix Discovery is performed (new) Another note: for a NIC to process Prefix Information options (in Router Advertisements), it must not be a router itself. Currently the netstack does not have per-interface routing configuration; the routing/forwarding configuration is controlled stack-wide. Therefore, if the stack is configured to enable forwarding/routing, no router Advertisements (and by extension the Prefix Information options) will be processed. Tests: Unittest to make sure that Prefix Discovery and updates to the routing table only occur if explicitly configured to do so. Unittest to make sure at max stack.MaxDiscoveredOnLinkPrefixes discovered on-link prefixes are remembered. PiperOrigin-RevId: 280049278
2019-11-06Rename nicid to nicID to follow go-readability initialismsGhanan Gowripalan
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments#initialisms This change does not introduce any new functionality. It just renames variables from `nicid` to `nicID`. PiperOrigin-RevId: 278992966
2019-11-06Discover default routers from Router AdvertisementsGhanan Gowripalan
This change allows the netstack to do NDP's Router Discovery as outlined by RFC 4861 section 6.3.4. Note, this change will not break existing uses of netstack as the default configuration for the stack options is set in such a way that Router Discovery will not be performed. See `stack.Options` and `stack.NDPConfigurations` for more details. This change introduces 2 options required to take advantage of Router Discovery, all available under NDPConfigurations: - HandleRAs: Whether or not NDP RAs are processes - DiscoverDefaultRouters: Whether or not Router Discovery is performed Another note: for a NIC to process Router Advertisements, it must not be a router itself. Currently the netstack does not have per-interface routing configuration; the routing/forwarding configuration is controlled stack-wide. Therefore, if the stack is configured to enable forwarding/routing, no Router Advertisements will be processed. Tests: Unittest to make sure that Router Discovery and updates to the routing table only occur if explicitly configured to do so. Unittest to make sure at max stack.MaxDiscoveredDefaultRouters discovered default routers are remembered. PiperOrigin-RevId: 278965143
2019-11-06Validate incoming NDP Router Advertisements, as per RFC 4861 section 6.1.2Ghanan Gowripalan
This change validates incoming NDP Router Advertisements as per RFC 4861 section 6.1.2. It also includes the skeleton to handle Router Advertiements that arrive on some NIC. Tests: Unittest to make sure only valid NDP Router Advertisements are received/ not dropped. PiperOrigin-RevId: 278891972
2019-10-24Use interface-specific NDP configurations instead of the stack-wide default.Ghanan Gowripalan
This change makes it so that NDP work is done using the per-interface NDP configurations instead of the stack-wide default NDP configurations to correctly implement RFC 4861 section 6.3.2 (note here, a host is a single NIC operating as a host device), and RFC 4862 section 5.1. Test: Test that we can set NDP configurations on a per-interface basis without affecting the configurations of other interfaces or the stack-wide default. Also make sure that after the configurations are updated, the updated configurations are used for NDP processes (e.g. Duplicate Address Detection). PiperOrigin-RevId: 276525661
2019-10-23Inform netstack integrator when Duplicate Address Detection completesGhanan Gowripalan
This change introduces a new interface, stack.NDPDispatcher. It can be implemented by the netstack integrator to receive NDP related events. As of this change, only DAD related events are supported. Tests: Existing tests were modified to use the NDPDispatcher's DAD events for DAD tests where it needed to wait for DAD completing (failing and resolving). PiperOrigin-RevId: 276338733
2019-10-17NDP Neighbor Solicitations sent during DAD must have an IP hop limit of 255Ghanan Gowripalan
NDP Neighbor Solicitations sent during Duplicate Address Detection must have an IP hop limit of 255, as all NDP Neighbor Solicitations should have. Test: Test that DAD messages have the IPv6 hop limit field set to 255. PiperOrigin-RevId: 275321680
2019-10-16Do Duplicate Address Detection on permanent IPv6 addresses.Ghanan Gowripalan
This change adds support for Duplicate Address Detection on IPv6 addresses as defined by RFC 4862 section 5.4. Note, this change will not break existing uses of netstack as the default configuration for the stack options is set in such a way that DAD will not be performed. See `stack.Options` and `stack.NDPConfigurations` for more details. Tests: Tests to make sure that the DAD process properly resolves or fails. That is, tests make sure that DAD resolves only if: - No other node is performing DAD for the same address - No other node owns the same address PiperOrigin-RevId: 275189471
