Hi, In the spirit of this work I’d like to propose a change to the route add/del APIs to make use of the fib_path structure. The fib_path structure, which describes how to deal which the matched packets, is consistent across each of the route types; IP, MPLS, BIER and ABF. By using a fib_path we can also pass more than one path for each route update, which is how most IP unicast protocols would normally operate. It is notably faster to add the route once with multiple paths, than add the route multiple times with one path.

This is going to be painful for everyone using the API. In the neverending saga of cleaning up the APIs and making types more explicit, here are the changes I’d like to get in for 19.04: u32 sw_if_index -> vl_api_interface_index_t u8 ip4_address[4] -> vl_api_ip4_address_t u8 ip6_address[16] -> vl_api_ip6_address_t u8 is_ip6 u8 address[16] -> vl_api_address_t u8 prefix_len u8 prefix[4/16] -> vl_api_ip4_prefix_t / vl_api_ip6_prefix_t / vl_api_prefix_t u8 is_<foo> -> bool u8 name[64] -> string name u8 mac_address[6] -> vl_api_mac_address_t u8 data[0] u32 length -> u8 data[length] The explicit types allow for much better type checking on the client side, as well as automatic mapping into the respective types on the client side. E.g. vl_api_address_t mapping into Python IPAddress object. Best regards, Ole -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
