This is the initial implementation of Thread Border Router
prefix/route management with:
- Create & publish off-mesh routable (OMR) prefix for Thread network
- configure the BR as default route.
- converge to the smallest OMR prefix if multiple prefixes are
present at the same time.
- Create & advertise on-link prefix for infrastructure network
- monitor RA messages on infra link and stops myself if there is
someone else advertising an on-link prefix.
It currently supports single infrastructure link with possibly
multiple BRs. Support for multiple infrastructure links is left for
future.
This commit implements Enhanced-ACK Probing (on simulation platform).
- Add a new public API otLinkMetricsConfigEnhAckProbing which sends
Link Metrics Management Request to configure the probing. This is
called on Probing Initiator side.
- Add a new radio platform API otPlatRadioConfigureEnhAckProbing. This
API should be called on Probing Subject side when handling the
requests from Initiators. This API notifies the radio to start/stop
aggregating link metrics info and include the data into Vendor IE in
enhanced-ACK for the specific neighbor. As discussed in #5746, the
code for doing such thing should be put in radio driver.
- Add a util module util/link_metrics, which provides a group of APIs
to implement Probing Subject side logic for Enh-ACK Probing. Any
platform could use this module to implement the feature easily in
radio driver.
- Add new util APIs in util/mac_frame to generate Enh-ACK Probing IE
(Vendor IE with Thread OUI and SubType = 0) and set value for this
IE.
- Update the implementation in simulation/radio.c to support Probing
Subject side logic for Enh-ACK Probing, using APIs in
util/link_metrics and util/mac_frame.
- Add a test
v1_2_LowPower_7_1_01_SingleProbeLinkMetricsWithEnhancedAcks.py for
testing.
Misc:
- Add check for all the public Link Metrics APIs (Initiator side) to
ensure that the Subject is a neighbor of the Initiator. If the
address is not link-local or the neighbor is not found, an error
UNKNOWN_NEIGHBOR would be returned.
- Update PrepareEmptyFrame so that when it's called for reference
device, its frame version would be set to 2015.
- This commit fixes some issue in multicast forwarding from Thread to
Backbone.
- It also adds a test to verify that multicast forwarding works across
Thread and Backbone.
- Test script tests/scripts/thread-cert/mcast6.py is added for Host
to subscribe to a multicast address
The ping reply can not reach ROUTER1 since DUA feature is not
complete.
This commit ensures each node create its own profile data, so that they
can be merged after tests to produce more accurate profile data.
This commit also prints the coverage data of message.cpp after all
profile data are merged.
If user doesn't set the Partition Id using the command
'leaderpartitionid xxx', the current cli command 'leaderpartitionid'
always return 0. This commit renames the command 'leaderpartitionid'
to partitionid and let the command partitionid returns the current
leader Partition Id and add command partitionid preferred to set or
get preferred Partition Id.
This commit:
- Add callback for Domain Prefix events
- Add callback for ND Proxy events
- Add corresponding test to verify ND Proxy works
- Some misc enhancements to the Backbone tests
- Run sudo modprobe ip6table_filter in Docker host so that ip6tables
works in ubuntu docker instances.
- Use -DOTBR_REST=OFF -DOTBR_WEB=OFF for building OTBR Docker image
since these features are not used in tests.
- Setup radvd on Host to send Router Advertisements for the Domain
Prefix using configuration: AdvOnLink on; AdvAutonomous off;
AdvRouterAddr off;
- Set sysctl net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_ra=2 for BBR and Host
This commit implements DUA features of Thread 1.2 DUA that involves
sending and processing Backbone query and answer:
- Extend address query to the Backbone Link
- Send BB.qry for Thread address query
- Send ADDR_ANS.ntf for BB.ans
- DAD process
- PBBR to send BB.qry on the Backbone link (3 times if not answered)
- PBBR to receive and handle BB.qry and sends BB.ans
- PBBR to receive BB.ans and sends ADDR_ERR.ntf if duplicated
- PRO_BB.ntf
- Send PRO_BB.ntf when DUA registration is updated
- Handle PRO_BB.ntf
- Add test_dua_dad.py to test the DAD process when it was successful
or duplicated
- Verify the normal DAD process
- Verify Address Query can be extended to the Backbone link
- Verify DAD duplicate is handled correctly
- Verify PRO_BB.ntf for duplicated DUA is handled correctly
This commit implements the Forward Tracking Series feature in Link Metrics.
- Two new apis are added:
- otLinkMetricsSendMgmtRequestForwardTrackingSeries, which is used
to send an MLE Link Metrics Management Request
- otLinkMetricsSendLinkProbe, which is used to send an MLE Link Probe
- A new class LinkMetricsSeriesInfo is used to maintain the data of
one Series configured by a neighbor. This class inherits
LinkedListEntry and each Neighbor has a list of
LinkMetricsSeriesInfo. All LinkedListEntrys are allocated and freed
by a Pool in LinkMetrics.
- To specify SeriesFlags in cli command for Forward Tracking Series, a
similar approach with LinkMetricsFlags is used. Another character
flags is used to represent SeriesFlags.
- Whenever the node receives a frame (including ACK) from a neighbor,
it would call Neighbor::AggregateLinkMetrics which goes through each
LinkMetricsSeriesInfo entry in the neighbor's list and aggregate the
data if the frame type matches the entry.
- Two test scripts are added to test this function:
- v1_2_LowPower_7_2_01_ForwardTrackingSeries.py
- v1_2_LowPower_test_forward_tracking_series.py
- backbone/test_mlr_multicast_routing.py verifies the basic features
of Backbone multicast routing
- backbone/test_mlr_multicast_routing_timeout.py verifies that MLR
timeout works
- backbone/test_mlr_multicast_routing_commissioner_timeout.py verifies
that Commissioner MLR timeout works
This command allows an Rx-Off-When-Idle device to send an empty mac
data frame or mac datarequest to its parent. This command is only used
for certification.
This commit enhances Backbone Router to send BMLR.ntf on the backbone
link for Multicast Listeners.
- Send BMLR.ntf to the Backbone link
- Add Backbone test with packet verification
- Includes some revision to the Thread 1.2 Backbone CI scripts to make
it more stable
- Configure next response to 5.00 for Reference Device
- Handle 5.00 (and other COAP error codes) in DUA.rsp (required by 1.2
Test Spec)
- Update DUA test to handle COAP code 5.00
This commit is the first part in link metrics. It implements single
probe function.
An overview of major changes:
- Add link metrics apis which allow apps to send a single probe and
set report callback.
- Add cli commands for calling link metrics api and related README
doc.
- Add a new module link_metrics to implement the query process and
handle the report.
- Add related tlv types.
- Add simple script test to run single probe process.
Thread 1.2 CI with OTBR and Backbone link:
- Run OTBR in Dockers with Backbone link
- Enhance node.py to work with OTBR Docker
- Add Packet Verification for 5.11.1
- incomplete, some steps can not pass yet, just to make sure
Backbone traffic verification works
- Support running multiple tests simultaneously (default: each test
run 3 instances)
- Build OTBR Docker using OpenThread PR code
- Upload code coverage in Docker
Some implementation details:
- Most existing code of node.py is shared by OTBR Docker
- Backbone related test scripts are found in
tests/scripts/thread-cert/backbone
- A new script tests/scripts/thread-cert/run_bbr_tests.py is added to
manage multiple running tests
- Test configuration differs according to PORT_OFFSET
- Backbone interface name: Backbone{PORT_OFFSET}
- Backbone network prefix: 91{PORT_OFFSET:02x}::/64
- Docker instance name: otbr_{PORT_OFFSET}_{nodeid}
- Output Files:
- Pcap:
- Thread: {test_name}_{PORT_OFFSET}.pcap
- Backbone: {test_name}_{PORT_OFFSET}_backbone.pcap
- Merged: {test_name}_{PORT_OFFSET}_merged.pcap
- Log: {test_name}_{PORT_OFFSET}.log
Fix test_router_attach.py failing by a small chance.
Root cause: routerdowngradethreshold restored back to default (23)
after node reset, so the test had 5/120 chance to downgrade. We should
set it back to 32 before starting it.
This commit also enhances the test for a little bit:
- Make sure the node reattached as Router within 1 second
- Make sure the node does not downgrade after Router Selection Jitter
(3s)
This commit adds the Multicast Listener Table for BBR:
- Implements Multicast Listener Table on BBR
- Adds registered MAs to MulticastListenerTable
- Reject when the table is full or the multicast address is invalid
and return failed status
- Respond with unsuccessful status along with failed addresses
- Expire Listeners from MulticastListenerTable per second (using
MinHeap for better performance)
- MLR enhancement
- Re-register only failed multicast addresses (used to register all
registering multicast addresses)
- Reference Device only APIs
- Some APIs are defined for reference devices and tests.
- Add tests
- Add unit test: test_multicast_listener_table.cpp (runs for 1.2-bbr
only)
- Add functional tests
This commit implements the CSL feature in Thread 1.2.
- Add macro definitions for low power to control the compiling of
source code.
- Add data and methods for running CSL in Mac and SubMac. This mainly
includes setting CSL parameters, starting/stopping CSL, and the
timer handling process.
- Add otPlatTimeGetAPI and implementation.
- Add CSL transmission implementation. CSL transmission is a new kind
of transmission, the related definition and implementaion for the
whole transmitting process is added.
- Add calling of start/stop CSL in certain cases.
- Implement CSL synchronization maintainence. If a CSL cordinator
didn't get a frame containing CSL IE for CSLTimeout, the CSL
receiver is regarded as de-synchronized.
- Add Cli interface for using CSL.
- Implement enhanced Ack with IE. The original code can only generate
auto ack for Imm-Ack. As CSL requires CSL IE included in enhanced
ack. This PR implements it.
- Add basic functional test for CSL transmission. More tests
corresponding to test plan would be added later.
This commit introduces the packet verification (PV) framework for
certification tests.
- Add packet verification framework code
- Implement packet verification for cert 5.1.7 as a minimal
example. There will be more 1.1/1.2 tests with PV submitted in the
future.
- Download pre-built thread-wireshark binaries from
openthread/wireshark/releases for packet dissecting (used by
pyshark)
- Added a Github Action job for Packet Verification
- registration workflow framework
- registration and reregistration
- registration and reregistration on behalf of children
- add pseudo response status for test/certification purpose
- add unit test
This commit includes:
- Adding compile configurations necessary for MLR features
- Adding source/header files necessary for MLR features
- Send MLR.req for local MAs on ThreadNetif
- At most one MLR.req is outstanding
- Reregistration according to PBBR configuration
