New: Added support for IPv6 connections to the cloud. NOTE: When in ROUTER MODE (for Stateless-IPv6 or SLAAC-IPv6 modes) Leaf pods and Clients do not connect because they do not get IPv6 addresses. For clients:
- in stateful mode, the uplink assigns an address pool to the gateway pod to distribute to clients.
- in stateless mode, the uplink only provides a single IPv6 address for the gateway pod. Therefore, there are no addresses available to be assigned to leaf PODs or clients.
New: A new FCM plugin libfcm_intfstats.so to track the per-interface bandwidth consumed stats and metrics. The plugin is initialized and activated by the cloud by adding the proper information into FCM_Collector_Config and FCM_Report_Config tables. Among other things, the cloud provides:
- A list of interfaces to track bandwidth-consumed metrics
