Fast-path¶
The behavior of the fast-path network stack can be customized globally, and per VRF.
If there is no configuration value in a VRF, the global configuration applies. The VRF configuration overrides the system one.
ALG¶
The ALGs allow to use specific applications through CG-NAT or fp-firewall.
The following configuration activates the DNS ALG, and sets its session timeout to 1000
.
vsr running config# / system network-stack fast-path alg dns session-timeout 1000
The configuration can be overridden at the VRF level.
The following configuration sets the DNS session-timeout to 500
in the test
VRF,
while it stays at the 1000
value defined previously in the other vrfs.
vsr running config# / vrf main network-stack fast-path alg dns session-timeout 500
To display the ALG configuration:
vsr> show state / vrf main network-stack fast-path alg
alg dns
port 53
session-timeout 500
..
The same configuration can be made using this NETCONF XML configuration:
vsr> show config xml absolute nodefault / vrf main network-stack fast-path alg
<config xmlns="urn:6wind:vrouter">
<vrf>
<name>main</name>
<network-stack xmlns="urn:6wind:vrouter/system">
<fast-path xmlns="urn:6wind:vrouter/fast-path-network-stack">
<alg>
<name>dns</name>
<session-timeout>500</session-timeout>
</alg>
</fast-path>
</network-stack>
</vrf>
</config>
Note
In the previous versions, dns-udp
was the default value. It is not the
case anymore. Therefore, you may need to configure it in its new path:
/ system network-stack fast-path alg dns
.
Conntracks¶
Conntrack timeouts can be set for each protocol. UDP, ICMP and GRE protocols only handle basic conntrack states (new, established, closed), whereas TCP offers more granularity.
The following configuration sets the TCP timeout of established
to 100
:
vsr running config# / system network-stack fast-path conntrack timeouts tcp established 100
The conntrack tcp-window-check
behavior is now disabled:
vsr running config# / system network-stack fast-path conntrack behavior tcp-window-check enabled false
To fragment NAT64 packet according to the MTU of the output interface:
vsr running config# / system network-stack fast-path conntrack nat64 mtu lowest-ipv6 0
The same configuration can be made using this NETCONF XML configuration:
vsr> show config xml absolute nodefault / system network-stack fast-path conntrack
<config xmlns="urn:6wind:vrouter">
<system xmlns="urn:6wind:vrouter/system">
<network-stack>
<fast-path xmlns="urn:6wind:vrouter/fast-path-network-stack">
<conntrack>
<behavior>
<tcp-options>tcp-window-check</tcp-options>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</behavior>
<timeouts>
<tcp>
<state>established</state>
<timeout>100</timeout>
</tcp>
</timeouts>
<nat64>
<mtu>
<option>lowest-ipv6</option>
<value>0</value>
</mtu>
</nat64>
</conntrack>
</fast-path>
</network-stack>
</system>
</config>
