rps added a comment to T1185: Firewall rulesets are ignored in RFC-compliant VRRP setups.

Do we know if this made it into the 1.3.0 release or is this now a 1.4 issue?

rps added a comment to T1185: Firewall rulesets are ignored in RFC-compliant VRRP setups.

Actually there is nothing that stops us from adding rules to netfilter referencing an interface that doesn't exist yet so this could be done at the time of interface and VRRP configuration rather than dynamically.

RFC-compliant VRRP has been broken for all releases of 1.2 so not likely that it will be fixed in 1.2.7 but I think we should make an effort to fix it in 1.3 (?)

My fault for not having the time to test this as one of the users who has a need for RFC compliant VRRP. The use of + for interface matching is less than ideal but if we do so we should take care to recommend that use of 802.1Q VLAN sub-interfaces not make use of the parent (untagged) interface else traffic matching will not be obvious.

It was likely the first scenario that I mentioned where there was traffic already established before the NAT rule was created. Also note that a reset conntrack is essentially a flush of the conntrack table and can be disruptive for established connections. Alternatively you could have cleared conntrack entries for the specific host address only as a more safe way of doing it in the future.

From a parsing perspective the only challenge tag nodes present is that you can't easily distinguish between "key value" and "key tag" without context. "key" and "key tag value" are fine. Using a ":" you get "key: value" vs "key tag" which removes the ambiguity.

@mickvav I think you're misunderstanding the benefit of DPDK.

I've added a quick note in the SNAT section of the Wiki to explain this. Feel free to edit if it seems unclear or could be worded better.

rps added a comment to Q50: Any hope for DPDK?.

@mickvav I think when people ask "does it support DPDK" it's because they've read that using DPDK will allow forwarding and possible filtering and NATing of traffic at 10 Gbps+ rates. VyOS offering some DPDK stuff and saying "mission accomplished" would leave a bad taste in people's mouths the same way CloudRouter is claiming DPDK support when it's only for bridged traffic.

"DPDK support" involved a lot of low-level contributions to a lot of different projects. Essentially you need to re-implement major parts of Linux on a case-by-case basis which is outside of the scope for VyOS right now.

You can use policy routing to match HTTP and HTTPS traffic and point it at a next-hop that is an external transparent proxy.

Can we move this to "wontfix". This is the normal behavior of Linux and doing any sort of global drop of invalid state traffic by default is not a realistic change.

rps added a comment to T35: Add IPv6 firewall network groups.

After VRRPv3 (with some intelligent way to handle radvd) this is the major blocker for using VyOS as a production IPv6 firewall in my environment.
