mlxsw: spectrum_router: Optimize processing of VRRP MACs
Hosts using a VRRP router send their packets with a destination MAC of the VRRP router which is of the following form [1]: IPv4 - 00-00-5E-00-01-{VRID} IPv6 - 00-00-5E-00-02-{VRID} Where VRID is the ID of the virtual router. Such packets are directed to the router block in the ASIC by an FDB entry that was added in the previous patch. However, in certain cases it is possible to skip this FDB lookup and send such packets directly to the router. This is accomplished by adding these special MAC addresses to the RIF cache. If the cache is hit, the packet will skip the L2 lookup and ingress the router with the RIF specified in the cache entry. 1. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5798#section-7.3 Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@mellanox.com> Reviewed-by: Petr Machata <petrm@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
