Inaccurate pipeline show information #84

Closed tatry closed 1 year ago

tatry commented 1 year ago
  1. nikss-ctl shows TC hook type for XDP-based pipeline.
  2. ~In XDP-based pipeline has always egress program (TBC with compiler code).~
  3. Some object are shown which should be hidden in output JSON. To avoid this in the future maybe we should hide all names starting from ebpf_ and use this prefix in the generated programs by p4c compiler? As far I remember this prefix is reserved for such usage.

Output from PTF test upf.UPFTest: Configuration:

Using test params: {'interfaces': 'psa_recirc,eth0,eth1,eth2,eth3,eth4,eth5', 'namespace': 'switch', 'trace': 'False', 'xdp': 'True', 'xdp2tc': 'meta'}
