Offloading on Gateways / Supernodes
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
To enable L2TP offloading on the supornodes, it is recommended to study the
|
||||
fastd documentation section pertaining to the `offload configuration option
|
||||
<https://fastd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/manual/config.html#option-offload>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
However, the important changes to the fastd config on your Supernode are:
|
||||
|
||||
- | Set ``mode multitap;``
|
||||
| Every peer gets their own interface.
|
||||
|
||||
- | Replace ``interface "foo":`` with ``interface "peer-%k";``
|
||||
| ``%k`` is substituted for a portion of the peers public key.
|
||||
|
||||
- | Set ``offload l2tp yes;``
|
||||
| This tells fastd to use the l2tp kernel module.
|
||||
|
||||
- | Set ``persist interface no;``
|
||||
| This tells fastd to only keep interfaces arround while the connection is active.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that in ``multitap`` mode, which is required when using L2TP offloading,
|
||||
fastd will create one interface per peer on the supernode's. This allows
|
||||
offloading the L2TP forwarding into the kernel space. But this also means added
|
||||
copmlexity with regards to handling those interfaces.
|
||||
|
||||
There are two main options on how you can handle this:
|
||||
|
||||
- create ``on up`` and ``on down`` hooks
|
||||
|
||||
- to handle interface setup and destruction
|
||||
- preferrably using the async keyword, so hooks are not blocking fastd
|
||||
|
||||
- use a daemon like systemd-networkd
|
||||
|
||||
Examples for both options can be found in the
|
||||
`Wiki <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/wiki/fastd-l2tp-offloading-on-supernodes>`_.
