From 1dd5643b1ff144686fd9c16d6af99981093d0f70 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Agent Router Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 08:45:43 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] test(ndp): add NDP module with 32 tests Add dpdk-udp/src/ndp.rs implementing IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (RFC 4861) mirroring the existing ArpHandler pattern: - Neighbor Solicitation/Advertisement build and parse - NdpCache with atomic fast-path for single-peer steady state - NdpHandler: process NS/NA, resolve, make_solicitation, gratuitous NA - /proc/net/ipv6_neigh parsing and cache seeding - Synthetic performance tests for cache lookup, build, and parse 32 tests covering: roundtrip build/parse, validation edge cases, cache operations, handler behavior, proc parsing, and performance. --- dpdk-udp/src/lib.rs | 9 + dpdk-udp/src/ndp.rs | 1149 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 1158 insertions(+) create mode 100644 dpdk-udp/src/ndp.rs diff --git a/dpdk-udp/src/lib.rs b/dpdk-udp/src/lib.rs index a181762..befb809 100644 --- a/dpdk-udp/src/lib.rs +++ b/dpdk-udp/src/lib.rs @@ -58,6 +58,7 @@ pub mod geneve; pub mod gue; pub mod ipv6; pub mod ipv6_addr; +pub mod ndp; pub mod vxlan; pub use arp::{ArpCache, ArpHandler, ArpPacket}; @@ -95,6 +96,14 @@ pub use ipv6_addr::{ is_link_local, parse_scoped_address, solicited_node_multicast_addr, solicited_node_multicast_mac, ipv6_multicast_mac, ScopedIpv6Addr, }; +pub use ndp::{ + NdpCache, NdpHandler, NdpPacket, ProcNeighEntry, + build_neighbor_solicitation, build_neighbor_advertisement, build_gratuitous_na, + parse_ndp_packet, parse_proc_ipv6_neigh, seed_cache_from_proc, + ICMPV6_TYPE_NEIGHBOR_SOLICITATION, ICMPV6_TYPE_NEIGHBOR_ADVERTISEMENT, + NA_FLAG_ROUTER, NA_FLAG_SOLICITED, NA_FLAG_OVERRIDE, + NDP_HOP_LIMIT, NDP_NS_FRAME_LEN, NDP_NA_FRAME_LEN, +}; // ============================================================================ // Error Types diff --git a/dpdk-udp/src/ndp.rs b/dpdk-udp/src/ndp.rs new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f146249 --- /dev/null +++ b/dpdk-udp/src/ndp.rs @@ -0,0 +1,1149 @@ +//!
