Detailed Description

DHCP query filtering class.

This class is a central point of information about distribution of the DHCP queries processed by the servers within HA setup. It also implements load balancing of the DHCP queries, when configured to do so.

The query filter uses a term "scope" to identify group of DHCP queries processed by a given server. Currently, we support load balancing between two servers. Therefore, in this mode of operation, there are two scopes named after servers responsible for processing packets belonging to those scopes, e.g. "server1" and "server2".

In the hot-standby mode, there is only one server processing incoming DHCP queries. Thus, there is only one scope named after the primary server, e.g. "server1".

This class allows for assigning the server to process queries belonging to various scopes. For example: when a failure of the partner server is detected, the QueryFilter::serveFailoverScopes is called to indicate that this server instance should start handling queries belonging to the scope(s) of the server which have died. Converesly, a call to QueryFilter::serveDefaultScopes reverts to the default state.

When DHCP query is received, the QueryFilter class is used to determine whether this query should be processed by this server. The QueryFilter::inScope methods return boolean value indicating whether the query should be processed or not. If not, the query is dropped.

The server administrator may force the server to start processing queries from the selected scopes, e.g. the administrator may manually instruct the backup server to take over the traffic of the primary and secondary servers. The 'ha-scopes' command is sent in such case, which enables/disables scopes within this class instance.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QueryFilter()

isc::ha::QueryFilter::QueryFilter ( const HAConfigPtr & config )

explicit

Constructor.

This constructor puts HA peers configurations in the following order:

primary server configuration,
secondary or standby server configuration,
backup servers configurations

It also sets the active_servers_ value to the number of active servers (responding to DHCP queries) for a given HA mode. In our case, this is 2 for the load balancing case and 1 for the hot-standby. Such organization of the configurations makes it easier for the load balancing algorithm to distribute queries between active servers. In our simple case, the load balancing algorithm can produce a value of 0 or 1, which points to a primary or secondary server in the configuration vector.

Parameters

config pointer to the HA configuration.

Exceptions

HAConfigValidationError if provided configuration is invalid.

◆ amServingScope()

bool isc::ha::QueryFilter::amServingScope ( const std::string & scope_name ) const

Checks if this server instance is configured to process traffic belonging to a particular scope.

Parameters

scope_name name of the scope/server.

Returns: true if the scope is enabled.

◆ getServedScopes()

std::set< std::string > isc::ha::QueryFilter::getServedScopes ( ) const

Returns served scopes.

This method is mostly useful for testing purposes.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ inScope() [1/2]

bool isc::ha::QueryFilter::inScope	(	const dhcp::Pkt4Ptr &	query4,
		std::string &	scope_class ) const

Checks if this server should process the DHCPv4 query.

This method uses a table of DHCPv4 message types to determine whether or not a query needs further analysis to determine which HA server should handle it or if it should simply be processed by this server.

For message types that qualify (e.g. DHCPDISCOVER, DHCPREQUEST, etc), it then takes into account enabled scopes for this server and HA mode to determine whether this query should be processed. It triggers load balancing when load balancing mode is enabled.

Non-qualifying message types (e.g. DHCPLEASEQUERY) are passed through for handling by this server.

Parameters

	query4	pointer to the DHCPv4 query instance.
[out]	scope_class	name of the class which corresponds to the name of the server which owns the packet. Those class names are used in subnets, pools and network configurations to associate them with different servers.

Returns: true if the specified query should be processed by this server, false otherwise.

◆ inScope() [2/2]

bool isc::ha::QueryFilter::inScope	(	const dhcp::Pkt6Ptr &	query6,
		std::string &	scope_class ) const

Checks if this server should process the DHCPv6 query.

This method uses a table of DHCPv6 message types to determine whether or not a query needs further analysis to determine which HA server should handle it or if it should simply be processed by this server.

For message types that qualify (e.g. DHCPV6_SOLICIT, DHCPV6_REQUEST, etc), it then takes into account enabled scopes for this server and HA mode to determine whether this query should be processed. It triggers load balancing when load balancing mode is enabled.

Non-qualifying message types (e.g. DHCPV6_LEASEQUERY) are passed through for handling by this server.

Parameters

	query6	pointer to the DHCPv6 query instance.
[out]	scope_class	name of the class which corresponds to the name of the server which owns the packet. Those class names are used in subnets, pools and network configurations to associate them with different servers.

Returns: true if the specified query should be processed by this server, false otherwise.

◆ loadBalance() [1/2]

int isc::ha::QueryFilter::loadBalance ( const dhcp::Pkt4Ptr & query4 ) const

protected

Performs load balancing of the DHCPv4 queries.

This method returns an index of the server configuration held within peers_ vector. This points to a server which should process the given query. Currently, we only support load balancing between two servers, therefore this value should be 0 or 1.

Parameters

query4 pointer to the DHCPv4 query instance.

Returns: Index of the server which should process the query. It returns negative value if the query is malformed, i.e. contains no HW address and no client identifier.

◆ makeScopeClass()

std::string isc::ha::QueryFilter::makeScopeClass ( const std::string & scope_name ) const

protected

Returns scope class name for the specified scope name.

When the server is designated to process a received DHCP query, it is often required to assign a class to this query which corresponds to the particular server. This class name is associated with the pools, subnets and/or networks which this server should hand out leases from.

This function converts scope name to the class name by prefixing the scope name with "ha_" string.

Parameters

scope_name scope name to be converted to class name.

Returns: Scope class name.
