NAME         top

       tunnel_key - Tunnel metadata manipulation

SYNOPSIS         top

       tc ... action tunnel_key { unset | SET }
       SET := set src_ip ADDRESS dst_ip ADDRESS id KEY_ID dst_port UDP_PORT

DESCRIPTION         top

       The tunnel_key action combined with a shared IP tunnel device, allows
       to perform IP tunnel en- or decapsulation on a packet, reflected by
       the operation modes UNSET and SET.  The UNSET mode is optional - even
       without using it, the metadata information will be released
       automatically when packet processing will be finished.  UNSET
       function could be used in cases when traffic is forwarded between two
       tunnels, where the metadata from the first tunnel will be used for
       encapsulation done by the second tunnel.  SET mode requires the
       source and destination ip ADDRESS and the tunnel key id KEY_ID which
       will be used by the ip tunnel shared device to create the tunnel
       header. The tunnel_key action is useful only in combination with a
       mirred redirect action to a shared IP tunnel device which will use
       the metadata (for SET ) and unset the metadata created by it (for
       UNSET ).

OPTIONS         top

       unset  Unset the tunnel metadata created by the IP tunnel device.
              This function is not mandatory and might be used only in some
              specific use cases (as explained above).
       set    Set tunnel metadata to be used by the IP tunnel device.
              Requires id , src_ip and dst_ip options.  dst_port is
              optional.
              id     Tunnel ID (for example VNI in VXLAN tunnel)
              src_ip Outer header source IP address (IPv4 or IPv6)
              dst_ip Outer header destination IP address (IPv4 or IPv6)
              dst_port
                     Outer header destination UDP port

EXAMPLES         top

       The following example encapsulates incoming ICMP packets on eth0 into
       a vxlan tunnel, by setting metadata to VNI 11, source IP 11.11.0.1
       and destination IP 11.11.0.2, and by redirecting the packet with the
       metadata to device vxlan0, which will do the actual encapsulation
       using the metadata:
              #tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress
              #tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent ffff: \
                flower \
                  ip_proto icmp \
                action tunnel_key set \
                  src_ip 11.11.0.1 \
                  dst_ip 11.11.0.2 \
                  id 11 \
                action mirred egress redirect dev vxlan0
       Here is an example of the unset function: Incoming VXLAN traffic with
       outer IP's and VNI 11 is decapsulated by vxlan0 and metadata is unset
       before redirecting to tunl1 device:
              #tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress
              #tc filter add dev vxlan0 protocol ip parent ffff:   flower \
                     enc_src_ip 11.11.0.2 enc_dst_ip 11.11.0.1 enc_key_id 11   action tunnel_key unset  action mirred egress redirect dev tunl1
