A local membership is created on the vxlan termination device ipmr-lo. This
is done to -
1. Pull multicast vxlan tunnel traffic to the VTEP for termination by
triggering JoinDesired on the BUM multicast group.
2. Include the OIF in the mroute to signal to the dataplane component
that flow needs to be vxlan terminated.
Earlier we were overloading the PIM_UPSTREAM_FLAG_MASK_SRC_IGMP for
this local membership creation but that is creating confusion both in
the state machine and in the show outputs. To avoid that we use the
more apparent PIM_UPSTREAM_FLAG_MASK_SRC_VXLAN_TERM. With this change -
1. We get LHR functionality for VXLAN_TERM mroutes
2. OIF is populated with PIM_OIF_FLAG_PROTO_PIM only

1. Upstream entries associated with tunnel termination mroutes are
synced to the MLAG peer via the local MLAG daemon.
2. These entries are installed in the peer switch (via an upstream
ref flag).
3. DF (Designated Forwarder) election is run per-upstream entry by both
the MLAG switches -
a. The switch with the lowest RPF cost is the DF winner
b. If both switches have the same RPF cost the MLAG role is
used as a tie breaker with the MLAG primary becoming the DF
winner.
4. The DF winner terminates the multicast traffic by adding the tunnel
termination device to the OIL. The non-DF suppresses the termination
device from the OIL.
Note: Before the PIM-MLAG interface was available hidden config was
used to test the EVPN-PIM functionality with MLAG. I have removed the
code to persist that config to avoid confusion. The hidden commands are
still available.

mfcc_parent for an (S, G) entry was being updated on any upstream RPF
change. With the change to use RPT for (S,G) in some cases we can no
longer do that. Instead the upstream entry's RPF neigbor is managed
separately form the channel_oil's mfcc_parent i.e. via NHT. And the
mfcc_parent is evaluated at the time of mroute programming.

An (S,G) mroute can be created as a result of rpt prune. However that
entry needs to stay on the parent (*,G)'s tree (IIF) till a decision is
made to switch the source to the SPT.
The decision to stay on the RPT is made based on the SPTbit setting
according to - RFC7761, Section 4.2 “Data Packet Forwarding Rules”
However those rules are hard to achieve when hw acceleration i.e.
control and data planes are separate. So instead of relying on data
we make the decision of using SPT if we have decided to join the SPT -
Use_RPT(S,G) {
if (Joined(S,G) == TRUE // we have decided to join the SPT
OR Directly_Connected(S) == TRUE // source is directly connected
OR I_am_RP(G) == TRUE) // RP
//use_spt
return FALSE;
//use_rpt
return TRUE;
}
To make that change some re-org was needed -
1. pim static mroutes and dynamic (upstream mroutes) top level APIs
have been separated. This is to limit the state machine to dynamic
mroutes.
2. c_oil->oil.mfcc_parent is re-evaluated based on if we decided
to use the SPT or stay on the RPT.
3. upstream mroute re-eval is done when any of the criteria involved
in Use_RPT changes.

when ever a FRR Client wants to send any data to another node
using MLAG Channel, uses below mechanisam.
1. sends a MLAG Registration to zebra with interested messages that
it is intended to receive from peer.
2. In response to this request, Zebra opens communication channel with
MLAG. and also in Rx. diretion zebra forwards only those messages which
client shown interest during registration
3. when client is no-longer interested in communicating with MLAG, client
posts De-register to Zebra
4. if this is the last client which is interested for MLAG Communication,
zebra closes the channel.
why PIM Needs MLAG Communication
================================
1. In general on LAN Networks elecetd DR will send the Join towards
Multicast RP in case of a LHR and Register in case of FHR.
2. But in case DR Goes down, traffic will be re-converged only after
the New DR is elected, but this can take time based on Hold Timer to
detect the DR down.
3. this can be optimised by using MLAG Mecganisam.
4. and also Traffic can be forwarded more efficiently by knowing the cost

zvni setup in zebra is controlled via bgpd i.e. advertise_all_vni
from bgpd triggers this setup. As a part of zvni creation we may need
to setup BUM mcast SG entries which are propagated to pimd for MDT setup.
Now pimd may not be present at the time of zvni creation or may restart
post zvni creation so we need a mechanism to replay (on pimd startup) and
to cleanup (on pimd stop). This is addressed via zebra_vxlan_sg_replay and
zebra_evpn_pim_cfg_clean_up.

Field vrf_id is replaced by the pointer of the struct vrf *.
For that all other code referencing to (interface)->vrf_id is replaced.
This work should not change the behaviour.
It is just a continuation work toward having an interface API handling
vrf pointer only.
some new generic functions are created in vrf:
vrf_to_id, vrf_to_name,
a zebra function is also created:
zvrf_info_lookup
an ospf function is also created:
ospf_lookup_by_vrf
it is to be noted that now that interface has a vrf pointer, some more
optimisations could be thought through all the rest of the code. as
example, many structure store the vrf_id. those structures could get
the exact vrf structure if inherited from an interface vrf context.

An interface needs to be designated as "termination device" and added to
the termination mroute's OIL. This is used by kernel and ASIC backends
to vxlan-decaps matching flows.
The default termination device is expected to have the prefix (start
sub-string) "ipmr-lo". This can be made configurable if needed -

Start the separation of tracking a Destination from the act

to a bunch of code that had to think about both problems leading
to weird situations and code paths. Simplify the code by making
pim_ecmp_nexthop_search a static function and we only ever
call pim_ecmp_nexthop_lookup when we need to do a RPF().
pim_ecmp_nexthop_lookup will now attempt to find a stored pnc
