This document gives an overview of COLO proxy's design.
|
||||
|
||||
== Background ==
|
||||
COLO-proxy is a part of COLO project. It is used
|
||||
to compare the network package to help COLO decide
|
||||
whether to do checkpoint. With COLO-proxy's help,
|
||||
COLO greatly improves the performance.
|
||||
|
||||
The filter-redirector, filter-mirror, colo-compare
|
||||
and filter-rewriter compose the COLO-proxy.
|
||||
|
||||
== Architecture ==
|
||||
|
||||
COLO-Proxy is based on qemu netfilter and it's a plugin for qemu netfilter
|
||||
(except colo-compare). It keep Secondary VM connect normally to
|
||||
client and compare packets sent by PVM with sent by SVM.
|
||||
If the packet difference, notify COLO-frame to do checkpoint and send
|
||||
all primary packet has queued. Otherwise just send the queued primary
|
||||
packet and drop the queued secondary packet.
|
||||
|
||||

|

1.Guest receive packet route:
|
||||
|
||||
Primary:
|
||||
|
||||
Tap --> Mirror Client Filter
|
||||
Mirror client will send packet to guest,at the
|
||||
same time, copy and forward packet to secondary
|
||||
mirror server.
|
||||
|
||||
Secondary:
|
||||
|
||||
Mirror Server Filter --> TCP Rewriter
|
||||
If receive packet is TCP packet,we will adjust ack
|
||||
and update TCP checksum, then send to secondary
|
||||
guest. Otherwise directly send to guest.
|
||||
|
||||
2.Guest send packet route:
|
||||
|
||||
Primary:
|
||||
|
||||
Guest --> Redirect Server Filter
|
||||
Redirect server filter receive primary guest packet
|
||||
but do nothing, just pass to next filter.
|
||||
|
||||
Redirect Server Filter --> COLO-Compare
|
||||
COLO-compare receive primary guest packet then
|
||||
waiting scondary redirect packet to compare it.
|
||||
If packet same,send queued primary packet and clear
|
||||
queued secondary packet, Otherwise send primary packet
|
||||
and do checkpoint.
|
||||
|
||||
COLO-Compare --> Another Redirector Filter
|
||||
The redirector get packet from colo-compare by use
|
||||
chardev socket.
|
||||
|
||||
Redirector Filter --> Tap
|
||||
Send the packet.
|
||||
|
||||
Secondary:
|
||||
|
||||
Guest --> TCP Rewriter Filter
|
||||
If the packet is TCP packet,we will adjust seq
|
||||
and update TCP checksum. Then send it to
|
||||
redirect client filter. Otherwise directly send to
|
||||
redirect client filter.
|
||||
|
||||
Redirect Client Filter --> Redirect Server Filter
|
||||
Forward packet to primary.
|
||||
|
||||
== Components introduction ==
|
||||
|
||||
Filter-mirror is a netfilter plugin.
|
||||
It gives qemu the ability to mirror
|
||||
packets to a chardev.
|
||||
|
||||
Filter-redirector is a netfilter plugin.
|
||||
It gives qemu the ability to redirect net packet.
|
||||
Redirector can redirect filter's net packet to outdev,
|
||||
and redirect indev's packet to filter.
|
||||
|
||||

||||

|

|
||||
+--------------+
|
||||
|
|
||||
v
|
||||
filter
|
||||
|
||||
COLO-compare, we do packet comparing job.
|
||||
Packets coming from the primary char indev will be sent to outdev.
|
||||
Packets coming from the secondary char dev will be dropped after comparing.
|
||||
COLO-comapre need two input chardev and one output chardev:
|
||||
primary_in=chardev1-id (source: primary send packet)
|
||||
secondary_in=chardev2-id (source: secondary send packet)
|
||||
outdev=chardev3-id
|
||||
|
||||
Filter-rewriter will rewrite some of secondary packet to make
|
||||
secondary guest's tcp connection established successfully.
|
||||
In this module we will rewrite tcp packet's ack to the secondary
|
||||
from primary,and rewrite tcp packet's seq to the primary from
|
||||
secondary.
|
||||
|
||||
== Usage ==
|
||||
|
||||
Here, we use demo ip and port discribe more clearly.
|
||||
Primary(ip:3.3.3.3):
|
||||
-netdev tap,id=hn0,vhost=off,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,downscript=/etc/qemu-ifdown
|
||||
-device e1000,id=e0,netdev=hn0,mac=52:a4:00:12:78:66
|
||||
-chardev socket,id=mirror0,host=3.3.3.3,port=9003,server,nowait
|
||||
-chardev socket,id=compare1,host=3.3.3.3,port=9004,server,nowait
|
||||
-chardev socket,id=compare0,host=3.3.3.3,port=9001,server,nowait
|
||||
-chardev socket,id=compare0-0,host=3.3.3.3,port=9001
|
||||
-chardev socket,id=compare_out,host=3.3.3.3,port=9005,server,nowait
|
||||
-chardev socket,id=compare_out0,host=3.3.3.3,port=9005
|
||||
-object filter-mirror,id=m0,netdev=hn0,queue=tx,outdev=mirror0
|
||||
-object filter-redirector,netdev=hn0,id=redire0,queue=rx,indev=compare_out
|
||||
-object filter-redirector,netdev=hn0,id=redire1,queue=rx,outdev=compare0
|
||||
-object colo-compare,id=comp0,primary_in=compare0-0,secondary_in=compare1,outdev=compare_out0
|
||||
|
||||
Secondary(ip:3.3.3.8):
|
||||
-netdev tap,id=hn0,vhost=off,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,down script=/etc/qemu-ifdown
|
||||
-device e1000,netdev=hn0,mac=52:a4:00:12:78:66
|
||||
-chardev socket,id=red0,host=3.3.3.3,port=9003
|
||||
-chardev socket,id=red1,host=3.3.3.3,port=9004
|
||||
-object filter-redirector,id=f1,netdev=hn0,queue=tx,indev=red0
|
||||
-object filter-redirector,id=f2,netdev=hn0,queue=rx,outdev=red1
|
||||
|
||||
Note:
|
||||
a.COLO-proxy must work with COLO-frame and Block-replication.
|
||||
b.Primary COLO must be started firstly, because COLO-proxy needs
|
||||
chardev socket server running before secondary started.
|
||||
c.Filter-rewriter only rewrite tcp packet.
