Re: [vpp-dev] Support for non TCP traffic
As stated by Dave, if you are doing L2 forwarding by putting the VM interfaces into a bridge domain, it will forward packets based on destination MAC address and would not be affected by ethertype nor L3/L4 headers. -John From: vpp-dev@lists.fd.io On Behalf Of Dave Barach via Lists.Fd.Io Sent: Monday, March 18, 2019 7:25 AM To: Eyle Brinkhuis ; vpp-dev@lists.fd.io; John Lo (loj) Cc: vpp-dev@lists.fd.io Subject: Re: [vpp-dev] Support for non TCP traffic If the idea is simply to flood and/or forward at L2 these ethertypes, there’s a decent chance you won’t have to do anything beyond bridge configuration. If you want to process them (e.g. in a plugin), a call to ethernet_register_input_type(...) will deliver the goods to your code. Copying John Lo, our L2 path expert... HTH...

These FWs make use of non-TCP packets with ethertype 0x8890, 0x8891 and 0x8993. Can VPP work with these? If not, what would be the solution here?
