qemu-rocker is a simulated ethernet switch device.  The device supports
up to 62 front-panel ports and supports L2 and L3 switching and routing
functions.  The device presents a single PCI device for the switch, with
a memory-mapped register space for device driver access.

qemu-rocker currently supports a switch model based on Broadcom's OF-DPA
switch.  See Broadcom's OF-DPA specification version 1.0 for more info on
OF-DPA.  qemu-rocker could support other switch models in the future.

Programmer's Reference Guide for qemu-rocker is here:

    hw/net/rocker/reg_guide.txt


Development
===========

Note: make sure you checkout the rocker branch once you clone the repo.

$ git checkout rocker

qemu-rocker device is located in hw/net/rocker.

There is a companion development project for a Linux device driver for
the rocker device, also on github at net-next-rocker.   net-next-rocker
includes the device driver (rocker.ko) and proposed changes to the
Linux kernel to support a new switch device driver model (swdev).  The
kernel changes are currently under review.


Building
--------

$ ./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --extra-cflags=-DDEBUG_ROCKER
$ make -j16

(Assuming target is x86_64; adjust --target-list accordingly for other
targets).

-DDEBUG_ROCKER is optional and is used to provide additional run-time
debug msgs to track device operation.


Running
-------

Verify rocker device is present:

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -device help 2>&1 | grep rocker
name "rocker", bus PCI, desc "Rocker Switch"

Device options:

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -device rocker,help
rocker.name=str
rocker.fp_start_macaddr=macaddr
rocker.switch_id=uint64
rocker.len-ports=uint32
rocker.addr=pci-devfn
rocker.romfile=str
rocker.rombar=uint32
rocker.multifunction=on/off
rocker.command_serr_enable=on/off

The relevant options are name, fp_start_macaddr, switch_id, len-ports.
There is also a ports option not list above.  An example qemu command
line option for a 4-port switch is:

    -device rocker,name=sw1,len-ports=4,ports[0]=dev0,ports[1]=dev1, \
         ports[2]=dev2,ports[3]=dev3

The switch is name "sw1".  The 4 ports are connected to 4 qemu netdev
devices, dev0-3.  The qemu netdev devices could be taps or sockets,
for example.  A fuller example using UDP scoket netdevs would be:

    -device rocker,name=sw1,len-ports=4,ports[0]=dev0,ports[1]=dev1, \
        ports[2]=dev2,ports[3]=dev3 -netdev socket,udp=127.0.0.1:1204, \
        localaddr=127.0.0.1:1215,id=dev0 -netdev socket, \
        udp=127.0.0.1:1205,localaddr=127.0.0.1:1219,id=dev1 \
        -netdev socket,udp=127.0.0.1:1206,localaddr=127.0.0.1:1211, \
        id=dev2 -netdev socket,udp=127.0.0.1:1207, \
        localaddr=127.0.0.1:1223,id=dev3

This would connect the 4 rocker switch ports to UDP sockets on
localhost.  Other programs (such as other VMs) can be connected to
the other ends of the UDP sockets to create virtual "wires".

Debugging
---------

qemu monitor for the VM can be used to examine qemu-rocker device's
internal state.  This can be done at run-time while switch is operational.

Examples:
