+Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF)
+====================================
+The VRF device combined with ip rules provides the ability to create virtual
+routing and forwarding domains (aka VRFs, VRF-lite to be specific) in the
+Linux network stack. One use case is the multi-tenancy problem where each
+tenant has their own unique routing tables and in the very least need
+different default gateways.
+
+Processes can be "VRF aware" by binding a socket to the VRF device. Packets
+through the socket then use the routing table associated with the VRF
+device. An important feature of the VRF device implementation is that it
+impacts only Layer 3 and above so L2 tools (e.g., LLDP) are not affected
+(ie., they do not need to be run in each VRF). The design also allows
+the use of higher priority ip rules (Policy Based Routing, PBR) to take
+precedence over the VRF device rules directing specific traffic as desired.
+
+In addition, VRF devices allow VRFs to be nested within namespaces. For
+example network namespaces provide separation of network interfaces at L1
+(Layer 1 separation), VLANs on the interfaces within a namespace provide
+L2 separation and then VRF devices provide L3 separation.
+
+Design
+------
+A VRF device is created with an associated route table. Network interfaces
+are then enslaved to a VRF device:
+
+ +-----------------------------+
+ | vrf-blue | ===> route table 10
+ +-----------------------------+
+ | | |
+ +------+ +------+ +-------------+
+ | eth1 | | eth2 | ... | bond1 |
+ +------+ +------+ +-------------+
+ | |
+ +------+ +------+
+ | eth8 | | eth9 |
+ +------+ +------+
+
+Packets received on an enslaved device and are switched to the VRF device
+using an rx_handler which gives the impression that packets flow through
+the VRF device. Similarly on egress routing rules are used to send packets
+to the VRF device driver before getting sent out the actual interface. This
+allows tcpdump on a VRF device to capture all packets into and out of the
+VRF as a whole.[1] Similiarly, netfilter [2] and tc rules can be applied
+using the VRF device to specify rules that apply to the VRF domain as a whole.
+
+[1] Packets in the forwarded state do not flow through the device, so those
+ packets are not seen by tcpdump. Will revisit this limitation in a
+ future release.
+
+[2] Iptables on ingress is limited to NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING only with skb->dev
+ set to real ingress device and egress is limited to NF_INET_POST_ROUTING.
+ Will revisit this limitation in a future release.
+
+
+Setup
+-----
+1. VRF device is created with an association to a FIB table.
+ e.g, ip link add vrf-blue type vrf table 10
+ ip link set dev vrf-blue up
+
+2. Rules are added that send lookups to the associated FIB table when the
+ iif or oif is the VRF device. e.g.,
+ ip ru add oif vrf-blue table 10
+ ip ru add iif vrf-blue table 10
+
+ Set the default route for the table (and hence default route for the VRF).
+ e.g, ip route add table 10 prohibit default
+
+3. Enslave L3 interfaces to a VRF device.
+ e.g, ip link set dev eth1 master vrf-blue
+
+ Local and connected routes for enslaved devices are automatically moved to
+ the table associated with VRF device. Any additional routes depending on
+ the enslaved device will need to be reinserted following the enslavement.
+
+4. Additional VRF routes are added to associated table.
+ e.g., ip route add table 10 ...
+
+
+Applications
+------------
+Applications that are to work within a VRF need to bind their socket to the
+VRF device:
+
+ setsockopt(sd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BINDTODEVICE, dev, strlen(dev)+1);
+
+or to specify the output device using cmsg and IP_PKTINFO.
+
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+VRF device currently only works for IPv4. Support for IPv6 is under development.
+
+Index of original ingress interface is not available via cmsg. Will address
+soon.
