When a local ES is in LACP bypass state BGP doesn't advertise
reachability to it i.e. the Type-1/EAD-per-ES routes and Type-4
route for the ES is not advertised. This is the equivalent of
oper-down handling.

Some vendors only advertise EAD-per-ES routes i.e. they do not
advertise EAD-per-EVI routes. To interop with these vendors we need
to relax the dependancy on EAD-per-EVI routes to activate a remote ES-PE.

Two L3 next groups are installed per-VRF per-ES for v4 and v6. These
NHGs are used as an indirect destination for symmetric IRB host routes.
Using L3NHGs allows for efficient failover of an ES (similar to the
use of L2NHGs) i.e. when an ES goes down the number of dataplane
updates are limited to 2xN (where N is the number of tenant VRFs
associated with the ES) instead of updating all host-routes behind the
ES.

1. MAC-IP routes in the VPN routing table are linked to the

2. Only MAC-IP paths whose nexthops are active (added via EAD-ES)
are imported into the VRF routing table.

ES-VRF entries are maintained for the purpose of L3-NHG creation -
1. Each ES-EVI entry is associated with a tenant VRF. This associaton
triggers the creation of an ES-VRF entry.
2. Type-2/MAC-IP routes are imported into a tenant VRF and programmed as
a /32 or host route entry in the dataplane. If the destination of
the host route is a remote-ES the route is programmed with the
corresponding (keyed in by {vrf,ES-id}) L3-NHG.
3. The reason for this indirection (route->L3-NHG, L3-NHG->list-of-VTEPs)
is to avoid route updates to the dplane when a remote-ES link flaps i.e.
instead of updating all the dependent routes the NHG's contents are
updated. This reduces the amount of dataplane updates (fewer nhg updates vs.
route updates) allowing for a faster failover.

When iterating over the bgp_dest table, using this pattern:
for (dest = bgp_table_top(table); dest;
dest = bgp_route_next(dest)) {
If the code breaks or returns in the middle we will not have
properly unlocked the node as that bgp_table_top locks the top
dest and bgp_route_next locks the next dest and unlocks the old
dest.
From code inspection I have found a bunch of places that
we either return in the middle of or a break is issued.
Add appropriate unlocks.

DF (Designated forwarder) election is used for picking a single
BUM-traffic forwarded per-ES. RFC7432 specifies a mechanism called
service carving for DF election. However that mechanism has many
disadvantages -
1. LBs poorly.
2. Doesn't allow for a controlled failover needed in upgrade
scenarios.
3. Not easy to hw accelerate.
To fix the poor performance of service carving alternate DF mechanisms
have been proposed via the following drafts -
draft-ietf-bess-evpn-df-election-framework
draft-ietf-bess-evpn-pref-df
This commit adds support for the pref-df election mechanism which
is used as the default. Other mechanisms including service-carving
may be added later.
In this mechanism one switch on an ES is elected as DF based on the
preference value; higher preference wins with IP address acting
as the tie-breaker (lower-IP wins if pref value is the same).

SYNC routes are paths rxed from a local-ES peer. These routes result in
the installation of local dataplane entries i.e. with access port as
destination (vs. the remote-VTEP destination that results in the packet
being sent via the VxLAN overlay).
If a SYNC path is selected as the best path it is always turned around
into a local path which immediately lowers the status of the SYNC path
to non-best. However we need to keep track of the highest MM seq-number
and peer activity to continue advertising the local path. In order to
do that we need information from the "second-best" SYNC path to be
bubbled up to the local best path. This "SYNC" info is then consolidated
and sent to zebra which is responsible for the MM handling and local
path management.

A new proxy flag has been added to the already existing NA extended
community to allow proxy advertisment of a local host by a VTEP that is
yet to indpendently establish local reachability.
Reference: draft-rbickhart-evpn-ip-mac-proxy-adv
The extendend mac-mobility sequence number needs to be synced across
the ES peers. However we cannot let a ES-peer path win over a local
path on the same ES. To accomplish that some parameters such as the
MM seq number are bubbled up from the non-best path to the local path.
This mechanism is explained further in the path-selection patch.

This is the base patch that brings in support for Type-1 routes.
It includes support for -
- Ethernet Segment (ES) management
- EAD route handling
- MAC-IP (Type-2) routes with a non-zero ESI i.e. Aliasing for
active-active multihoming
- Initial infra for consistency checking. Consistency checking
is a fundamental feature for active-active solutions like MLAG.
We will try to levarage the info in the EAD-ES/EAD-EVI routes to
detect inconsitencies in access config across VTEPs attached to
the same Ethernet Segment.
Functionality Overview -
========================
1. Ethernet segments are created in zebra and associated with
access VLANs. zebra sends that info as ES and ES-EVI objects to BGP.
2. BGP advertises EAD-ES and EAD-EVI routes for the locally attached
ethernet segments.
3. Similarly BGP processes EAD-ES and EAD-EVI routes from peers
and translates them into ES-VTEP objects which are then sent to zebra
as remote ESs.
4. Each ES in zebra is associated with a list of active VTEPs which
is then translated into a L2-NHG (nexthop group). This is the ES
"Alias" entry
5. MAC-IP routes with a non-zero ESI use the alias entry created in
(4.) to forward traffic i.e. a MAC-ECMP is done to these remote-ES
destinations.
EAD route management (route table and key) -
============================================
1. Local EAD-ES routes
a. route-table: per-ES route-table
key: {RD=ES-RD, ESI, ET=0xffffffff, VTEP-IP)
b. route-table: per-VNI route-table
Not added
c. route-table: global route-table
key: {RD=ES-RD, ESI, ET=0xffffffff)
2. Remote EAD-ES routes
a. route-table: per-ES route-table
Not added
b. route-table: per-VNI route-table
key: {RD=ES-RD, ESI, ET=0xffffffff, VTEP-IP)
c. route-table: global route-table
key: {RD=ES-RD, ESI, ET=0xffffffff)
3. Local EAD-EVI routes
a. route-table: per-ES route-table
Not added
b. route-table: per-VNI route-table
key: {RD=0, ESI, ET=0, VTEP-IP)
c. route-table: global route-table
key: {RD=L2-VNI-RD, ESI, ET=0)
4. Remote EAD-EVI routes
a. route-table: per-ES route-table
Not added
b. route-table: per-VNI route-table
key: {RD=0, ESI, ET=0, VTEP-IP)
c. route-table: global route-table
