pimd: added comments for upstream and channel_oil new values
Added comments which explains the new values for existing fields
and new fields in the upstream and channel_oil data structure.
Following are the summary of the behaviour change in PIM code.
Scenario 1 : RP doesn’t exist/RP not reachable
Event: Join received
Current behaviour:
No upstream gets created
Changed behaviour:
Upstream data structure created with below info
upstream_addr: INADDR_ANY
channel_oil iif: MAXVIF
channel_oil is_valid: FALSE (flag introduced to indicate if this entry is valid to get installed in hardware)
RPF details: Not valid
Join state: NOT_JOINED
Kernal installed: FALSE
Scenario 2: Dummy upstream exists
Event: RP configured
Current Behaviour:
upstream address updated for the dummy upstream created.
Changed Behaviour:
upstream_addr: RP address
channel_oil iif: MAXVIF
channel_oil is_valid: FALSE
RPF details: only RP address updated
Join state: NOT_JOINED
Kernel installed: FALSE
Scenario 3: Dummy upstream exists
Event: RP becomes reachable
Current Behaviour:
Update channel oil, rpf details in the upstream and install in hardware
Changed Behaviour:
upstream_addr: RP Adress
channel_oil iif: MAXVIF
channel_oil is_valid: FALSE
RPF details: RPF details updated via NHT callback
Join state: JOINED
Kernel installed: TRUE
Scenario 4: MRoute exists
Event: RP gets deleted
Current behaviour:
Nothing got updated in him upstream and channel oil,
join timer still runs. Mroute still exists in kernel.
Changed behaviour:
upstream_addr: INADDR_ANY
channel_oil iif: MAXVIF
channel_oil is_valid: FALSE
RPF details: Not valid
Join state: NOT_JOINED (also sent prune towards deleted RPF nbr)
Kernel installed: FALSE
Scenario 5: MRoute Exists
Event: RP unreachable
Current behaviour:
Nothing got updated in him upstream and channel oil,
join timer still runs. Mroute sdeleted from kernel.
Changed behaviour:
upstream_addr: RP address
channel_oil iif: MAXVIF
channel_oil is_valid: FALSE
RPF details: only RP address updated
Join state: NOT_JOINED (also sent prune towards deleted RPF nbr)
Kernel installed: FALSE
Scenario 6: Mroute exists
Event: Better RP configured with precise group range & reachable.
Current behaviour:
No effect on existing route.
Changed behaviour:
Upstream address: Better RP
RPF interface: towards the better RP
Join state: JOINED (Send a prune towards the old RP and send a join
towards the better RP)
Scenario 7: Mroute exists
Event: RP deleted and another RP with broad group range fits this group & reachable
Current behaviour:
No effect on current behaviour
Changed behaviour:
Upstream address: next available RP
RPF interface: towards the next available RP
Join state: JOINED (Send a prune towards the old RP and send a join
towards the better RP) Signed-off-by: Sarita Patra <saritap@vmware.com>
