A project aimed to add support for multiple remotes on an IPIP tunnel. This project consist of two TC programs (one for ingress and the other for egress).
The main goal of the TC ingress program is to map the client IP (inner IP header's source IP address) to the remote IP (the outer IP header's source address).
When outgoing IPIP packets are sent back out, it will replace the outer IP header's destination IP address with the mapped remote IP if it exist. If it doesn't, the packet will go out unchanged.
An example where this is useful is if you're utilizing IPIP tunnels with an Anycast network and want the traffic to go back the same POP server it came in with.
The only command line option is -i --dev
which determines which interface to attach to. An example of using the ipipmapper
loader may be found below.
./ipipmapper --dev ens18
You may use git
and make
to install this project onto your server. I'd suggest the following commands for downloading and installing.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/gamemann/TC-IPIP-Mapper.git # Recursive will download LibBPF.
cd TC-IPIP-Mapper/
make && make install
If you want to enable this via systemd
, I'd suggest modifying the /etc/systemd/system/IPIPMapper.service
file after install and ensure it is set to use the correct interface via the -i
flag. Afterwards, you may execute the following commands.
systemctl enable IPIPMapper # Enables the program on startup.
systemctl start IPIPMapper # Starts the program via systemd.
