bgpd: support for DF election in EVPN-MH
DF (Designated forwarder) election is used for picking a single
BUM-traffic forwarded per-ES. RFC7432 specifies a mechanism called
service carving for DF election. However that mechanism has many
disadvantages -
1. LBs poorly.
2. Doesn't allow for a controlled failover needed in upgrade
scenarios.
3. Not easy to hw accelerate.
To fix the poor performance of service carving alternate DF mechanisms
have been proposed via the following drafts -
draft-ietf-bess-evpn-df-election-framework
draft-ietf-bess-evpn-pref-df
This commit adds support for the pref-df election mechanism which
is used as the default. Other mechanisms including service-carving
may be added later.
In this mechanism one switch on an ES is elected as DF based on the
preference value; higher preference wins with IP address acting
as the tie-breaker (lower-IP wins if pref value is the same).
