gorouterSee [Routing Release 0.144.0 Release Notes] (https://github.com/cloudfoundry/routing-release/releases/tag/0.144.0)
Gorouters routing table is updated dynamically via the NATS message bus. NATS can be deployed via BOSH with (cf-deployment) or standalone using nats-release.
To add or remove a record from the routing table, a NATS client must send register or unregister messages. Records in the routing table have a maximum TTL of 120 seconds, so clients must heartbeat registration messages periodically; we recommend every 20s. Route Registrar is a BOSH job that comes with Routing Release that automates this process.
When deployed with Cloud Foundry, registration of routes for apps pushed to CF occurs automatically without user involvement. For details, see [Routes and Domains] (https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/deploy-apps/routes-domains.html).
When the gorouter starts, it sends a router.start message to NATS. This
message contains an interval that other components should then send
router.register on, minimumRegisterIntervalInSeconds. It is recommended that
clients should send router.register messages on this interval. This
minimumRegisterIntervalInSeconds value is configured through the
start_response_delay_interval configuration property. Gorouter will prune
routes that it considers to be stale based upon a separate "staleness" value,
droplet_stale_threshold, which defaults to 120 seconds. Gorouter will check if
routes have become stale on an interval defined by
prune_stale_droplets_interval, which defaults to 30 seconds. All of these
values are represented in seconds and will always be integers.
The format of the router.start message is as follows:
{
"id": "some-router-id",
"hosts": ["1.2.3.4"],
"minimumRegisterIntervalInSeconds": 20,
"prunteThresholdInSeconds": 120
}After a router.start message is received by a client, the client should send
router.register messages. This ensures that the new router can update its
routing table and synchronize with existing routers.
If a component comes online after the router, it must make a NATS request called
router.greet in order to determine the interval. The response to this message
will be the same format as router.start.
The format of the router.register message is as follows:
{
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": 4567,
"tls_port": 1234,
"protocol": "http1",
"uris": [
"my_first_url.localhost.routing.cf-app.com",
"my_second_url.localhost.routing.cf-app.com"
],
"tags": {
"another_key": "another_value",
"some_key": "some_value"
},
"app": "some_app_guid",
"stale_threshold_in_seconds": 120,
"private_instance_id": "some_app_instance_id",
"isolation_segment": "some_iso_seg_name",
"server_cert_domain_san": "some_subject_alternative_name"
}stale_threshold_in_seconds is the custom staleness threshold for the route
being registered. If this value is not sent, it will default to the router's
default staleness threshold.
app is a unique identifier for an application that the endpoint is registered
for. This value will be included in router access logs with the label app_id,
as well as being sent with requests to the endpoint in an HTTP header
X-CF-ApplicationId.
private_instance_id is a unique identifier for an instance associated with the
app identified by the app field. Gorouter includes an HTTP header
X-CF-InstanceId set to this value with requests to the registered endpoint.
isolation_segment determines which routers will register route. Only Gorouters
configured with the matching isolation segment will register the route. If a
value is not provided, the route will be registered only by Gorouters set to the
all or shared-and-segments router table sharding modes. Refer to the job
properties for [Gorouter]
(https://github.com/cloudfoundry/routing-release/blob/develop/jobs/gorouter/spec)
for more information.
tls_port is the port that Gorouter will use to attempt TLS connections with
the registered backends. Supported only when router.backend.enable_tls: true
is configured in the manifest. router.ca_certs may be optionally configured
with a CA, for backends certificates signed by custom CAs. For mutual
authentication with backends, router.backends.tls_pem may be optionally
provided. When router.backend.enable_tls: true, Gorouter will prefer
tls_port over port if present in the NATS message. Otherwise, port will be
preferred, and messages with only tls_port will be rejected and an error
message logged.
server_cert_domain_san (required when tls_port is present) Indicates a
string that Gorouter will look for in a Subject Alternative Name (SAN) of the
TLS certificate hosted by the backend to validate instance identity. When the
value of server_cert_domain_san does not match a SAN in the server
certificate, Gorouter will prune the backend and retry another backend for the
route if one exists, or return a 503 if it cannot validate the identity of any
backend in three tries.
Additionally, if the host and tls_port pair matches an already registered
host and port pair, the previously registered route will be overwritten and
Gorouter will now attempt TLS connections with the host and tls_port pair.
The same is also true if the host and port pair matches an already
registered host and tls_port pair, except Gorouter will no longer attempt
TLS connections with the backend.
Such a message can be sent to both the router.register subject to register
URIs, and to the router.unregister subject to unregister URIs, respectively.
Routes can be deleted with the router.unregister nats message. The format of
the router.unregister message the same as the router.register message, but
most information is ignored. Any route that matches the host, port and
uris fields will be deleted.
Create a simple app
$ nohup ruby -rsinatra -e 'get("/") { "Hello!" }' &Send a register message
$ nats-pub 'router.register' '{"host":"127.0.0.1","port":4567,"uris":["my_first_url.localhost.routing.cf-app.com","my_second_url.localhost.routing.cf-app.com"],"tags":{"another_key":"another_value","some_key":"some_value"}}'
Published [router.register] : '{"host":"127.0.0.1","port":4567,"uris":["my_first_url.localhost.routing.cf-app.com","my_second_url.localhost.routing.cf-app.com"],"tags":{"another_key":"another_value","some_key":"some_value"}}'See that it works!
$ curl my_first_url.localhost.routing.cf-app.com:8081
Hello!Unregister the route
$ nats-pub 'router.unregister' '{"host":"127.0.0.1","port":4567,"tls_port":1234,"uris":["my_first_url.localhost.routing.cf-app.com","my_second_url.localhost.routing.cf-app.com"]}'

$ curl my_first_url.localhost.routing.cf-app.com:8081
404 Not Found: Requested route ('my_first_url.localhost.routing.cf-app.com') does not exist.If router.backends.enable_tls has been set to true, tls_port will be used as
the definitive port when unregistering a route if present, otherwise port will
be used. If router.backends.enable_tls is set to false, port will be
preferred and any requests with only tls_port will be rejected and an error
logged to the gorouter logs.
Note that if router.backends.enable_tls is true and host and tls_port
happens to match a registered host and port pair, this host and port
pair will be unregistered. The reverse is also true.
Note: In order to use
nats-pubto register a route, you must install the gem on a Cloud Foundry VM. It's easiest on a VM that has ruby as a package, such as the API VM. Find the ruby installed in/var/vcap/packages, export your PATH variable to include the bin directory, and then rungem install nats. Find the nats login info from your gorouter config and use it to connect to the nats cluster.
To scale Gorouter horizontally for high-availability or throughput capacity, you must deploy it behind a highly-available load balancer (F5, AWS ELB, etc).
Gorouter has a health endpoint /health on port 8443 (with TLS) and
on 8080 (without TLS) that returns a 200 OK which indicates the Gorouter instance
is healthy; any other response indicates unhealthy. These port can be configured
via the router.status.port and router.status.tls.port properties in the BOSH
deployment manifest or via the status.port and status.tls.port properties
under /var/vcap/jobs/gorouter/config/gorouter.yml

The /routes endpoint returns the entire routing table as JSON. This endpoint
requires basic authentication and is served on port 8082. This port is configurable
via the router.status.routes.port property in the BOSH deployment manifest, or via
the status.routes.port property in /var/vcap/jobs/gorouter/config/gorouter.yml.
Route information is available via localhost only.
Each route has an associated array of host:port entries, formatted as follows:
$ curl "http://someuser:somepass@localhost:8080/routes"
{
"api.catwoman.cf-app.com": [
{
"address": "10.244.0.138:9022",

]
}NOTE: This endpoint is internal only, and may change in the future. To safeguard
against changes, rely on the /var/vcap/jobs/gorouter/bin/retrieve-local-routes script
to get this information.
Because of the nature of the data present in /varz and /routes, they require
http basic authentication credentials. These credentials can be found the BOSH
manifest for cf-deployment under the router job:
properties:
router:
status:
password: zed292_bevesselled
port:
user: paronymy61-polaricIf router.status.user is not set in the manifest, the default is
router-status as can be seen from the job
spec.
Or on the Gorouter VM under /var/vcap/jobs/gorouter/config/gorouter.yml:
status:
port: 8080
user: some_user
pass: some_passwordThe /varz endpoint provides status and metrics. This endpoint requires basic
authentication.

}The Gorouter runs the debugserver, which is a wrapper around the go pprof tool. In order to generate this profile, do the following:
# Establish a SSH tunnel to your server (not necessary if you can connect directly)
ssh -L localhost:8080:[INTERNAL_SERVER_IP]:17001 vcap@[BOSH_DIRECTOR]
# Run the profile tool.
go tool pprof http://localhost:8080/debug/pprof/profileThe Gorouter is, in simple terms, a reverse proxy that load balances between many backend instances. The default load balancing algorithm that Gorouter will use is a simple round-robin strategy. Gorouter will retry a request if the chosen backend does not accept the TCP connection.
Default load balancing algorithm that gorouter will use or may be explicitly set
in gorouter.yml yaml default_balancing_algorithm: round-robin
The Gorouter also supports least connection based routing and this can be enabled in gorouter.yml
default_balancing_algorithm: least-connectionLeast connection based load balancing will select the endpoint with the least number of connections. If multiple endpoints match with the same number of least connections, it will select a random one within those least connections.
NOTE: Gorouter currently only supports changing the load balancing strategy at the gorouter level and does not yet support a finer-grained level such as route-level. Therefore changing the load balancing algorithm from the default (round-robin) should be proceeded with caution.
When terminating TLS in front of Gorouter with a component that does not support sending HTTP headers
If you terminate TLS in front of Gorouter, your component should send the
X-Forwarded-Proto HTTP header in order for applications and Cloud Foundry
system components to correctly detect when the original request was encrypted.
As an example, UAA will reject requests that do not include X-Forwarded-Proto: https.
If your TLS-terminating component does not support sending HTTP headers, we recommend also terminating TLS at Gorouter. In this scenario you should only disable TLS at Gorouter if your TLS-terminating component rejects unencrypted requests and your private network is completely trusted. In this case, use the following property to inform applications and CF system components that requests are secure.
properties:
router:
force_forwarded_proto_https: trueIf you terminate TLS in front of Gorouter, your component should also send the
X-Forwarded-Proto HTTP header in order for X-Forwarded-For header to
applications can detect the requestor's IP address.
If your TLS-terminating component does not support sending HTTP headers, you can use the PROXY protocol to send Gorouter the requestor's IP address.
If your TLS-terminating component supports the PROXY protocol, enable the PROXY protocol on Gorouter using the following cf-deployment manifest property:
properties:
router:
enable_proxy: trueYou can test this feature manually:
echo -e "PROXY TCP4 1.2.3.4 [GOROUTER IP] 12345 [GOROUTER PORT]\r\nGET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: [APP URL]\r\n" | nc [GOROUTER IP] [GOROUTER PORT]You should see in the access logs on the Gorouter that the X-Forwarded-For
header is 1.2.3.4. You can read more about the PROXY Protocol
here.
The Gorouter supports ingress and egress HTTP/2 connections when the BOSH deployment manifest property is enabled.
properties:
router:
enable_http2: trueBy default, connections will be proxied to backends over HTTP/1.1, regardless of
ingress protocol. Backends can be configured with the http2 protocol to enable
end-to-end HTTP/2 routing for use cases like gRPC.
Example router.register message with http2 protocol:
{
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": 4567,
"protocol": "http2",
"...": "..."
}The router's logging is specified in its YAML configuration file. It supports the following log levels:
fatal- A fatal error has occurred that makes gorouter unable to handle any requests. Examples: the router can't bind to its TCP port, a CF component has published invalid data to the router.error- An unexpected error has occurred. Examples: the router failed to fetch token from UAA service.info- An expected event has occurred. Examples: the router started or exited, the router has begun to prune routes for stale droplets.debug- A lower-level event has occurred. Examples: route registration, route unregistration.

<Request Host> - [<Start Date>] "<Request Method> <Request URL> <Request Protocol>" <Status Code> <Bytes Received> <Bytes Sent> "<Referer>" "<User-Agent>" <Remote Address> <Backend Address> x_forwarded_for:"<X-Forwarded-For>" x_forwarded_proto:"<X-Forwarded-Proto>" vcap_request_id:<X-Vcap-Request-ID> response_time:<Response Time> gorouter_time:<Gorouter Time> app_id:<Application ID> app_index:<Application Index> instance_id:"<Instance ID>" failed_attempts:<Failed Attempts> failed_attempts_time:<Failed Attempts Time> dns_time:<DNS Time> dial_time:<Dial Time> tls_time:<TLS Time> backend_time:<Backend Time> x_cf_routererror:<X-Cf-RouterError> <Extra Headers>
-
Status Code, Response Time, Gorouter Time, Application ID, Application Index, X-Cf-RouterError, and Extra Headers are all optional fields. The absence of Status Code, Response Time, Application ID, Application Index, or X-Cf-RouterError will result in a "-" in the corresponding field.
-
Response Timeis the total time it takes for the request to go through the Gorouter to the app and for the response to travel back through the Gorouter. This includes the time the request spends traversing the network to the app and back again to the Gorouter. It also includes the time the app spends forming a response. -
Gorouter Timeis the total time it takes for the request to go through the Gorouter initially plus the time it takes for the response to travel back through the Gorouter. This does not include the time the request spends traversing the network to the app. This also does not include the time the app spends forming a response. -
failed_attempts,failed_attempts_time,dns_time,dial_time,tls_timeandbackend_timeare only logged iflogging.enable_attempts_detailsis set to true. The*_timewill only be provided for the last, successful attempt, if the request fails they will be empty and the error log can be consulted to get the details about each attempt.failed_attempts_timecontains the total time spent performing attempts that failed. -
X-CF-RouterErroris populated if the Gorouter encounters an error. This can help distinguish if a non-2xx response code is due to an error in the Gorouter or the backend. For more information on the possible Router Error causes go to the #router-errors section.
Access logs are also redirected to syslog.
If a user wants to send requests to a specific app instance, the header
X-CF-APP-INSTANCE can be added to indicate the specific instance to be
targeted. The format of the header value should be X-Cf-App-Instance: APP_GUID:APP_INDEX. If the instance cannot be found or the format is wrong, a
400 status code is returned. In addition, Gorouter will return a
X-Cf-Routererror header. If the instance guid provided is incorrectly
formatted, the value of the header will be invalid_cf_app_instance_header. If
the instance guid provided is correctly formatted, but the guid does not exist,
the value of this header will be unknown_route, and the request body will
contain 400 Bad Request: Requested instance ('1') with guid ('aaaaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa') does not exist for route ('dora.superman.routing.cf-app.com').
Usage of the X-Cf-App-Instance header is only available for users on the Diego
architecture.
The value of the X-Cf-Routererror header can be one of the following:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| invalid_cf_app_instance_header | The provided value for the "X-Cf-App-Instance" header does not match the required format of APP_GUID:INSTANCE_ID. |
| empty_host | The value for the "Host" header is empty, or the "Host" header is equivalent to the remote address. Some LB's optimistically set the "Host" header value with their IP address when there is no value present. |
| unknown_route | The desired route does not exist in the gorouter's route table. |
| no_endpoints | There is an entry in the route table for the desired route, but there are no healthy endpoints available. |
| Connection Limit Reached | The backends associated with the route have reached their max number of connections. The max connection number is set via the spec property router.backends.max_conns. |
| route_service_unsupported | Route services are not enabled. This can be configured via the spec property router.route_services_secret. If the property is empty, route services are disabled. |
| endpoint_failure | The registered endpoint for the desired route failed to handle the request. |
The Gorouter supports both RFC and OpenSSL formatted values. Refer to golang 1.9 for the list of supported cipher suites for Gorouter. Refer to this documentation for a list of OpenSSL RFC mappings. Example configurations enabling the TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 cipher suite for Gorouter:
enable_ssl: true
cipher_suite: "ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256"or
enable_ssl: true
cipher_suite: "TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256"There is a separate docs folder which contains more advanced topics.
