Ido Schimmel df6ec985f1 iprule: Add DSCP mask support
Add DSCP mask support, allowing users to specify a DSCP value with an
optional mask. Example:

 # ip rule add dscp 1 table 100
 # ip rule add dscp 0x02/0x3f table 200
 # ip rule add dscp AF42/0x3f table 300
 # ip rule add dscp 0x10/0x30 table 400

In non-JSON output, the DSCP mask is not printed in case of exact match
and the DSCP value is printed in hexadecimal format in case of inexact
match:

 $ ip rule show
 0:      from all lookup local
 32762:  from all lookup 400 dscp 0x10/0x30
 32763:  from all lookup 300 dscp AF42
 32764:  from all lookup 200 dscp 2
 32765:  from all lookup 100 dscp 1
 32766:  from all lookup main
 32767:  from all lookup default

Dump can be filtered by DSCP value and mask:

 $ ip rule show dscp 1
 32765:  from all lookup 100 dscp 1
 $ ip rule show dscp AF42
 32763:  from all lookup 300 dscp AF42
 $ ip rule show dscp 0x10/0x30
 32762:  from all lookup 400 dscp 0x10/0x30

In JSON output, the DSCP mask is printed as an hexadecimal string to be
consistent with other masks. The DSCP value is printed as an integer in
order not to break existing scripts:

 $ ip -j -p -N rule show dscp 0x10/0x30
 [ {
         "priority": 32762,
         "src": "all",
         "table": "400",
         "dscp": "16",
         "dscp_mask": "0x30"
     } ]

The mask attribute is only sent to the kernel in case of inexact match
so that iproute2 will continue working with kernels that do not support
the attribute.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.I ip rule
manipulates rules
in the routing policy database that controls the route selection algorithm.
.P
Classic routing algorithms used in the Internet make routing decisions
based only on the destination address of packets (and in theory,
but not in practice, on the TOS field).
.P
In some circumstances, we want to route packets differently depending not only
on destination addresses but also on other packet fields: source address,
IP protocol, transport protocol ports or even packet payload.
This task is called 'policy routing'.
.P
To solve this task, the conventional destination based routing table, ordered
according to the longest match rule, is replaced with a 'routing policy
database' (or RPDB), which selects routes by executing some set of rules.
.P
Each policy routing rule consists of a
.B selector
and an
.B action predicate.
The RPDB is scanned in order of decreasing priority (note that a lower number
means higher priority, see the description of
.I PREFERENCE
below). The selector
of each rule is applied to {source address, destination address, incoming
interface, tos, fwmark} and, if the selector matches the packet,
the action is performed. The action predicate may return with success.
In this case, it will either give a route or failure indication
and the RPDB lookup is terminated. Otherwise, the RPDB program
continues with the next rule.
.P
Semantically, the natural action is to select the nexthop and the output device.
.P
At startup time the kernel configures the default RPDB consisting of three
rules:
.TP
1.
Priority: 0, Selector: match anything, Action: lookup routing
table
.B local
(ID 255).
The
.B local
table is a special routing table containing
high priority control routes for local and broadcast addresses.
.TP
2.
Priority: 32766, Selector: match anything, Action: lookup routing
table
.B main
(ID 254).
The
.B main
table is the normal routing table containing all non-policy
routes. This rule may be deleted and/or overridden with other
ones by the administrator.
.TP
3.
Priority: 32767, Selector: match anything, Action: lookup routing
table
.B default
(ID 253).
The
.B default
table is empty. It is reserved for some post-processing if no previous
default rules selected the packet.
This rule may also be deleted.
.P
Each RPDB entry has additional
attributes. F.e. each rule has a pointer to some routing
table. NAT and masquerading rules have an attribute to select new IP
address to translate/masquerade. Besides that, rules have some
optional attributes, which routes have, namely
.BR "realms" .
These values do not override those contained in the routing tables. They
are only used if the route did not select any attributes.
.sp
The RPDB may contain rules of the following types:
.RS
.B unicast
- the rule returns the route found
in the routing table referenced by the rule.
.B blackhole
- the rule causes a silent drop the packet.
.B unreachable
- the rule generates a 'Network is unreachable' error.
.B prohibit
- the rule generates 'Communication is administratively
prohibited' error.
.B nat
- the rule translates the source address
of the IP packet into some other value.
.RE
.TP
.B ip rule add - insert a new rule
.TP
.B ip rule delete - delete a rule
.RS
.TP
.BI type " TYPE " (default)
the type of this rule. The list of valid types was given in the previous
subsection.
.TP
.BI from " PREFIX"
select the source prefix to match.
.TP
.BI to " PREFIX"
select the destination prefix to match.
.TP
.BI iif " NAME"
select the incoming device to match. If the interface is loopback,
the rule only matches packets originating from this host. This means
that you may create separate routing tables for forwarded and local
packets and, hence, completely separate them.
.TP
.BI oif " NAME"
select the outgoing device to match. The outgoing interface is only
available for packets originating from local sockets that are bound to
a device.
.TP
.BI tos " TOS"
.TP
.BI dsfield " TOS"
select the TOS value to match.
.TP
.BI dscp " DSCP\fR[\fB/\fIMASK\fR]"
select the DSCP value to match with an optional mask. DSCP values can be
written either directly as numeric values (valid values are 0-63), or using
symbolic names specified in
.BR @SYSCONF_USR_DIR@/rt_dsfield " or " @SYSCONF_ETC_DIR@/rt_dsfield
(has precedence if exists).
However, note that the file specifies full 8-bit dsfield values, whereas
.B ip rule
will only use the higher six bits.
.B ip rule show
will similarly format DSCP values as symbolic names if possible. The
command line option
.B -N
turns the show translation off.
.TP
.BI fwmark " MARK"
select the
.B fwmark
value to match.
.TP
.BI uidrange " NUMBER-NUMBER"
select the
.B uid
value to match.
.TP
.BI ipproto " PROTOCOL"
select the ip protocol value to match.
.TP
.BI sport " NUMBER\fR[\fB/\fIMASK\fR] | NUMBER-NUMBER"
select the source port value to match with an optional mask. Supports port
range.
.TP
.BI dport " NUMBER\fR[\fB/\fIMASK\fR] | NUMBER-NUMBER"
select the destination port value to match with an optional mask. Supports port
range.
.TP
.BI priority " PREFERENCE"
the priority of this rule.
.I PREFERENCE
is an unsigned integer value, higher number means lower priority, and rules get
processed in order of increasing number. Each rule
should have an explicitly set
.I unique
priority value.
The options preference and order are synonyms with priority.
.TP
.BI table " TABLEID"
the routing table identifier to lookup if the rule selector matches.
It is also possible to use lookup instead of table.
.TP
.BI protocol " PROTO"
the routing protocol who installed the rule in question. As an example when zebra installs a rule it would get RTPROT_ZEBRA as the installing protocol.
.TP
.BI suppress_prefixlength " NUMBER"
reject routing decisions that have a prefix length of NUMBER or less.
.TP
.BI suppress_ifgroup " GROUP"
reject routing decisions that use a device belonging to the interface
group GROUP.
.TP
.BI realms " FROM/TO"
Realms to select if the rule matched and the routing table lookup
succeeded. Realm
.I TO
is only used if the route did not select any realm.
.TP
.BI nat " ADDRESS"
The base of the IP address block to translate (for source addresses).
The
.I ADDRESS
may be either the start of the block of NAT addresses (selected by NAT
routes) or a local host address (or even zero).
In the last case the router does not translate the packets, but
masquerades them to this address.
Using map-to instead of nat means the same thing.
.TP
.BI flowlabel " FLOWLABEL\fR[\fB/\fIMASK\fR]"
select the IPv6 flow label to match with an optional mask.
.B Warning:
Changes to the RPDB made with these commands do not become active
immediately. It is assumed that after a script finishes a batch of
updates, it flushes the routing cache with
.BR "ip route flush cache" .
.RE
.TP
.B ip rule flush - also dumps all the deleted rules.
.RS
.TP
.BI protocol " PROTO"
Select the originating protocol.
.RE
.TP
.B ip rule show - list rules
This command has no arguments.
The options list or lst are synonyms with show.
.TP
.B ip rule save
.RS
.TP
.BI protocol " PROTO"
Select the originating protocol.
.RE
.TP
save rules table information to stdout
.RS
This command behaves like
.BR "ip rule show"
except that the output is raw data suitable for passing to
.BR "ip rule restore" .
.RE
.TP
.B ip rule restore
restore rules table information from stdin
.RS
This command expects to read a data stream as returned from
.BR "ip rule save" .
It will attempt to restore the rules table information exactly as
it was at the time of the save. Any rules already in the table are
left unchanged, and duplicates are not ignored.
