Read duplicated packets from raw sockets #1092

Open nzinfo opened 7 years ago

nzinfo commented 7 years ago

I'm trying to add a reliable UDP transport to Snabb, but I find the Snabb will bump the ethernet packet twice when using raw socket.

My code as the following zweig.lua.txt

Python script to generation udp packet t_udp_client.py.txt

When we open the pcap file using wireshark, we will found that packet appeared twice; At the same machine, I inspect the network adapter using wireshark, everything goes fine.

Great thanks.

I reckon that a nice first step would be to isolate whether the duplication happens internally in Snabb or due to some interaction with the operating system. Raw sockets are reasonably funky.

Could you try reproducing the problem while running Snabb like this:

strace -f -e open,close,read,write,ioctl,bind snabb ...

and making a gist of the output?

Sorry for reply so late, these days were the Spring Festival in China. : ) the gist is the output, I can't figure out why the bug happen.

I found my mistake, I use local lookup adapter ( lo ), packet passed the device twice, one for sending, and one for receiving. But another question raised, how to identity whether a packet is send / receive ? Great Thanks.

I found there has some flag of sll_pkttype , PACKET_HOST | PACKET_BROADCAST | PACKET_OTHERHOST | PACKET_OUTGOING, but I have no idea of how to set it. Would you please give me some help ? @lukego

I am really busy at the moment, sorry! The answers should be in ljsyscall and Linux man pages.
