Large scale VPN routers

2011-08-22 Thread Brendan Grossman
Hi

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with using OpenBSD to
terminate up to 1000 VPN clients and/or route "high" traffic (say 100
Mb/s).

What sort of hardware did you use, type of VPN, encryption and auth
options, overall experience, etc?

network fails to start with firewall enabled. Used to work..

2011-08-22 Thread James A. Peltier
I have recently upgraded our OpenBSD 4.8 bridge & firewall to  OpenBSD 5.0
(GENERIC.MP) #57: Mon Aug  8 14:58:00 MDT 2011 and I'm having some problems
with a rule set that used to work with 4.8.  I took our backup firewall out of
production, re-installed a fresh copy of the snapshot stated, and used
site50.tgz to populate the hostname.* interfaces for physical devices, bridges
and VLANs, sysctl.conf for interface forwarding, etc.  The install went fine,
all the files were put into place correctly, however, with the old rule set
the network fails to come up.  I read the source-changes list and recall the
change for the set skip rules and interface groups, confirmed the changes as
defined in the following -current web page which doesn't *seem* to apply to me
since I am not using interface types, but instead physical interface names (or
variables that define interface names).  Please keep in mind that the rules
load.  In fact, if I do not enable PF during boot but enable PF afterwards it
works fine so I must be missing something here... Do I now have to set skip on
the physical interfaces for the VLANs/Bridge (em0 & em1) :'/

--snip--
The KVM hypervisor supports attaching PCI devices on the host system to
virtualized guests. PCI passthrough allows guests to have exclusive access to
PCI devices for a range of tasks. PCI passthrough allows PCI devices to appear
and behave as if they were physically attached to the guest operating system.

From:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Virtualization_Guide/chap-
Virtualization-PCI_passthrough.html


The link above doesn't say anything about performance loss though of doing PCI
pass through. But the OpenBSD indeed sees and uses the correct real physical
NIC:s . I am of course _very_ interested in testing by installing OpenBSD
directly on the hardware. But I cannot do that at this time. This is what the
OpenBSD sees..

The MAC:s are these adapters real MAC:s. When used in OpenBSD these adapters
are totally unbound in Linux and cannot be seen or used.

This virtual fully patched OpenBSD 4.9 has got one (of total eight) Xeon 5504
2Ghz core, 512MB RAM and the above NIC:s and some raised values in sysctl. It
(as said earlier) gives about max 400Mbit throughput with a small ruleset will
keep state everywhere. Have tested with NFS, AFP, SCP, SMB and with different
created 2GB ISO:s. All protocols gives near the same result (AFP performs
best). Another physical server with a 1.6 Ghz Intel Atom with Intel Gig cards
(not the same cards) performs similar (a little lower though) and max out at
near the same speed. When these systems (both the physical and the virtual)
max out, the interrupts eat 100%. Removing the firewall the file transfer give
119 Mbyte/s and max out the Gigabit pipe.

Polling only works reliably at insane HZ settings which will cause other
issues at other places (some obvious some not so obvious). In the end
polling is a poor mans interrupt mitigation (which is also enabled on
em(4) btw.) since instead of using the interrupt of the network card you
use the interrupt of the clock to process the DMA rings. Polling does not
gain you much on good modern HW.

Also make sure that the guest can actually access the physical HW directly
without any virtualisation in between. In the end real HW is going to have
less overhead and will be faster then a VM solution.

Yes. memory speed matters a lot. DMA goes into main memory and needs to be
read into the cache when the recieved packet is accessed. Having the
memory close by the CPU and on fast busses helps in that regard. Big
caches will do the rest.

pflog shows 0.0.0.0.0 > 0.0.0.0.0

2011-08-22 Thread Matt Van Mater
Hi All,

See my configuration at the bottom of this email.  I am looking into why my
pflog has these ambiguous entries that show source and destination as all
zeros e.g. 0.0.0.0.0 > 0.0.0.0.0.

I saw that there was a related thread earlier this year asking questions
that was unresolved/unconfirmed and I would like to get feedback from one of
the developers (Daniel, Henning?) to confirm my suspicions.  I believe that
these lines are a result of the log (all) statement, which logs all
subsequent packets in a stateful session (and not just the first packets
matching the rules).  If that is true, then IMO the log entries are not very
intuitive or useful without the true source/destination IP Addresses
included... I can't grep for src/dst any more, now I assume I would have to
correlate the session information some other way (e.g. sequence numbers?)

So to put my questions more succinctly:
1) Are logs with 0.0.0.0.0 > 0.0.0.0.0 a result of the pf.conf log (all)
statement, and are therefore an indication of a continuing tcp session?
2) Are there any plans to update the logging to represent the actual src/dst
of these packets?  If not, what is your suggested method for correlating
these stateful session log entries?


By the way, I tried to post this to the pf mailing list but got bounced back
on the SPAM filters when trying to subscribe.  Same goes for when I tried to
email Daniel directly to resolve the issue. Can someone get in touch with
him and inform him of the issue?

 With polling if I get it right the context switch overhead is mostly avoided
because the system can choose to look at the device when it is already in the
right context. The drawback could be increased latency in processsing events
in a polling model. But according to what I have read, the latency is reduced
to a very low low values by raising the clock interrupt frequency. They say
polling is better  from a OS "time spent on device" control perspective. Note
that I am not a pro in this area, but will for sure look deeper...

MCLGETI ?? Is it in if_em.c if I want to see how it is implemented?

I tried to share and use the same interrupt for my network ports as I have a
guess it could be a boost, but the bios did not want what I wanted
Interrupts could be shared, but not between the ports I wanted. I simple did
not understand the interrupt allocation scheme in my Dell T410 tower server.

Have not tried current, but will try current as soon as I can. Also... I will
try to do some laborations with CPU speed of the core the OpenBSD virtual
machine has. This to see how the interrupts and throughput is related to the
CPU speed of the allocated core.

polling is one mechanism to ensure you aren't handling interrupts all the
time, so you can ensure userland remains responsive even when the machine is
under heavy network load. OpenBSD has another way to handle this, MCLGETI.

- faster cpu
- larger cpu cache
- faster ram
- reduce overheads (things like switching VM context while handling
packets is not going to help matters)
- improving code efficiency

have you tried -current?

Same with me. It stopped working a few months ago on amd64. And
matthieu@ fixed it a few days ago in current.

Ah, I've experienced the same thing but in an amd64 environment.

In my case it started a couple of months ago though, so it may not be
a brand new phenomenon. Can't pinpoint when so I have no idea what
commit to the tree changed the behaviour. I've forgotten to ask about
it since I use Ctrl-Alt-BS so seldom, but every time I do it annoys me. :-)

two problems with the recent X @ i386

2011-08-22 Thread Jan Stary
With today's snapshot, I can no longer kill X with crtl+alt+backspace.
Has something changed? Is DontZap turned on by default now? I am not
using any config file.

Also, the starting X says

cwm: config file /home/hans/.cwmrc has errors, not loading

but I don't have a ~/.cwmrc

If you can't reboot to copy the data off you could try testdisk to read
the data in order to get it onto an ffs partition? Or maybe run a Linux
boot cd in a virtual machine.

These will be plain wrong.

Why is that? The speed so far seems good enough for a virtual fw with this
2Ghz CPU core. No matter if you use a virtual of physical server, you always
want to get the most out of it. I do NOT compare with a physical server at
all. I want to try to maximize the throughput and se what I can get out of it
as a virtual FW test. The same applies if you use a physical server. You can
hit the limit and get 100% interrupts with both a physical and virtual server,
right? I didn't ask for a comparison with a physical server... I asked what I
can do more with it under these circumstances...


> As http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html states, there's little you can tweak

The FAQ you refer to seems to be of no use at all and is totally unrelated to
this post.



But if you can give hints of how to decrease the interrupt load I am all ears.
As I see it, if the interrupt handling model i OpenBSD would change to a
polling one u could maybe increase the throughput at the same processor speed
(just me guessing though). But now the fact is that it is not polling. So what
can I do with what we have

Is pure cpu speed the only way? Or is it possible to decrease the interrupt
load with even better NIC:s?

Iirc, this only works on ext3 (without journaling ofc), not ext4.

FreeBSD had a GSoC project last year to implement ext4fs (as a separate

UFS support in Linux seems to be relyable only for reading. Writing to UFS
volume may screw the things up.

It seems to be more reasonable to use Linux live media to transfer files wia
NFS or SFTP or whatever.

FYI, MAKEDEV has no bearing on your problem, as you figured out yourself.

Regarding the "block device is required" error, are you sure you used the

I'm not familiar with ext4, but as Christian Barthel suggested it might be
possible to mount it specifying ext2fs as the file system type, but if you
do so, make sure to mount it read-only. It might ruin your file system (and
your day) otherwise.

Otherwise, it sounds more like what you need is NFS... or is the machine
you're trying to do this on a dual-boot machine and you want access to the
file system in question from both environments? In that case, I suggest you
reformat the file system to ufs which would be usable by both systems.

Plz, don't top post

Vmware is commercial software = avoid if I can. Also Linux guests with virtio
drivers gives much better performance on the same hardware if using KVM
instead of Vmware. Also, no need for vmware tools as everything is in stock
Linux kernel.

I cannot at this time give a fair test running it on the same hardware but as
a physical server instead of a virtual one. This as the KVM host runs 10 other
servers. I have however tested the OpenBSD on another hardware which ended up
with similar performance. That was on a physical box with Gig Intel Nics
(82541 cards) but on a weak Quad core Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor running the
SMP kernel. At the bottle neck speed there was 100% interrupts at around
400Mbit (same tested files and protocols to be able to give a fair
comparison). Maybe the Intel atom 1.6 can be compared to a Xeon 5504 core on
2GHz ??? I am not a processor guru. Anyone??


regarding security which you say is "around zero". Yes this is a laboration.
But maybe you should say increased risk which is a more fair statement. I have
not heard of anyone that managed to hack a scenario like this in VMware or
KVM. Also note that the host OS itself in my case cannot even see these
devices as they are unbound. From my point of view it's like the race on WiFi
where people say you should use WPA2 with AES to be secure. But the real fact
is that standard old WPA without AES and with a reasonable key length (20+
chars) have not been broken by anyone in the world yet (what we know). One
person claims he manage to break a part of it in a lab. So... WPA = secure,
better performance and better compatibility. If I was Nasa or DoD I would
probable avoid WPA as someone someday of course will break it, otherwise
not...



So the question remains. Is it likely that a faster cpu core will give better
performance (not that I need it. Just doing some laborations here). Is a
faster CPU the best / only way to increase throughput. Of course we assume the
OS tweak is ok and that reasonable NIC:s are used. Is there a plan to change
the  interrupt handling model in OpenBSD to device polling in future releases
?

Hmmm...

"
 size   A number which expresses a size.  By default, the size is
specified in bytes.  It may have a trailing b, k, m, g or t to
indicate that the value is in 512-byte blocks, kilobytes,
megabytes, gigabytes, or terrabytes, respectively.
"

So did you just set your maximum datasize to 716.8 kilobytes? :-)

First question to ask: Did you log out and log in again? login.conf values are 
only applied on proper logins.

Also, if you have a database version of the file (/etc/login.conf.db), don't 
forget to take appropriate actions to update it.
