The patch adds ERSPAN type II tunnel support. The implementation is based on the draft at [1]. One of the purposes is for Linux box to be able to receive ERSPAN monitoring traffic sent from the Cisco switch, by creating a ERSPAN tunnel device. In addition, the patch also adds ERSPAN TX, so Linux virtual switch can redirect monitored traffic to the ERSPAN tunnel device. The traffic will be encapsulated into ERSPAN and sent out. The implementation reuses tunnel key as ERSPAN session ID, and field 'erspan' as ERSPAN Index fields: ./ip link add dev ers11 type erspan seq key 100 erspan 123 \ local 172.16.1.200 remote 172.16.1.100 To use the above device as ERSPAN receiver, configure Nexus 5000 switch as below: monitor session 100 type erspan-source erspan-id 123 vrf default destination ip 172.16.1.200 source interface Ethernet1/11 both source interface Ethernet1/12 both no shut monitor erspan origin ip-address 172.16.1.100 global [1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-foschiano-erspan-01 [2] iproute2 patch: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=150306086924951&w=2 [3] test script: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=150231021807304&w=2 Signed-off-by: William Tu <u9012063@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Meenakshi Vohra <mvohra@vmware.com> Cc: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru> Cc: Hideaki YOSHIFUJI <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
