* src: get rid of printfPhil Sutter2017-09-291-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces nft_print()/nft_gmp_print() functions which have to be used instead of printf to output information that were previously send to stdout. These functions print to a FILE pointer defined in struct output_ctx. It is set by calling: | old_fp = nft_ctx_set_output(ctx, new_fp); Having an application-defined FILE pointer is actually quite flexible: Using fmemopen() or even fopencookie(), an application gains full control over what is printed and where it should go to.

* src: Pass stateless, numeric, ip2name and handle variables as structure members.Varsha Rao2017-06-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | libnftables library will be created soon. So declare numeric_output, stateless_output, ip2name_output and handle_output as members of structure output_ctx, instead of global variables. Rename these variables as following, numeric_output -> numeric stateless_output -> stateless ip2name_output -> ip2name handle_output -> handle Also add struct output_ctx *octx as member of struct netlink_ctx.

* src: add offset attribute for numgen expressionLaura Garcia Liebana2016-10-271-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support to add an offset to the numgen generated value. Example: ct mark set numgen inc mod 2 offset 100 This will generate marks with serie like 100, 101, 100, ...

* src: add numgen expressionPablo Neira Ayuso2016-08-291-0/+68
This new expression allows us to generate incremental and random numbers bound to a specified modulus value. The following rule sets the conntrack mark of 0 to the first packet seen, then 1 to second packet, then 0 again to the third packet and so on: # nft add rule x y ct mark set numgen inc mod 2 A more useful example is a simple load balancing scenario, where you can also use maps to set the destination NAT address based on this new numgen expression: # nft add rule nat prerouting \ dnat to numgen inc mod 2 map { 0 : 192.168.10.100, 1 : 192.168.20.200 } So this is distributing new connections in a round-robin fashion between 192.168.10.100 and 192.168.20.200. Don't forget the special NAT chain semantics: Only the first packet evaluates the rule, follow up packets rely on conntrack to apply the NAT information. You can also emulate flow distribution with different backend weights using intervals: # nft add rule nat prerouting \ dnat to numgen inc mod 10 map { 0-5 : 192.168.10.100, 6-9 : 192.168.20.200 } So 192.168.10.100 gets 60% of the workload, while 192.168.20.200 gets 40%. We can also be mixed with dynamic sets, thus weight can be updated in runtime. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
