we have both driver_test.py and test_driver.py - what is the difference?

true, that's a good question. Since we had different files I had not realized that we had the same in two forms.
so driver_tests.py seems to be doing integration tests (veth pairs, etc..) and test_driver.py has only unit tests.
I will rename this to test_driver_integration.py

is it possible we are losing the upstream iface?
in nftables.py there's:
if upstream not in outbound:
outbound.append(upstream)

I think we could specify or have auto detection, I will check if the logic is still valid or got perversed

So I looked at the code, and, in _outbound_interfaces(), a VLAN-only config intentionally returns just the VLAN sub-interfaces since there are no untagged DUTs, in this case no traffic needs to masquerade on the upstream.
Then on the 1to1 path in nftables.py has the "if upstream not in outbound: outbound.append(upstream)" because 1:1 allows mixed mapped/unmapped entries, where unmapped DUTs still need the untagged upstream for fallback port for masquerade.
This makes me think though that it could make sense to declare 1to1 / snat / disabled per entry instead of globally.

I have documented this a bit better, and added some support comments in code.

So do we want to have a drop rule to the untagged iface traffic?
…pport Add VLAN tagging and policy-based routing (PBR) to the dut-network driver, enabling DUTs to reach public networks through VLAN-tagged uplinks or untagged source-IP PBR. New features: - AddressEntry gains vlan_id and public_gateway fields - VLAN sub-interfaces created automatically on the upstream interface - Per-DUT PBR via ip rule + ip route replace with dedicated routing tables - Untagged PBR: public_gateway without vlan_id uses int(IPv4) as table ID - Warning emitted when vlan_id is set without public_gateway - Reserved routing table IDs (0, 253, 254, 255) rejected at validation - Runtime add_address/remove_address refresh VLAN/PBR/NAT/forward rules - nftables masquerade extended with per-VLAN nat_interfaces - 1:1 NAT extended with per-mapping nat_interface for VLAN traffic - PBR commands check return codes and raise on failure; partial setup is rolled back if add_ip_rule fails after add_policy_route succeeds - Uses 'ip route replace' for idempotent, conflict-safe route setup Testing: - Comprehensive unit tests for AddressEntry validation, VLAN setup, untagged PBR, cleanup, runtime sync, and forward-handle refresh - iproute helper tests (create/delete VLAN, policy routes, ip rules, failure and idempotent-exists paths) - nftables tests for nat_interfaces in masquerade and 1:1 modes - E2E tests with data-plane verification (TCP echo) for: - VLAN PBR connectivity - Untagged source-IP PBR connectivity - Negative test: VLAN-only peer unreachable without public_gateway - Renamed driver_test.py -> test_driver_integration.py for consistency Documentation: - README updated with VLAN/PBR configuration guide and examples - Example exporter-vlan.yaml added - E2E README updated with new test descriptions - Docstrings added to all functions touched by the diff - Example IPs use RFC 5737 documentation ranges (198.51.100.0/24, 203.0.113.0/24) to avoid leaking real network details Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Make VLAN creation atomic on failure
DutNetwork.__post_init__ calls cleanup() when setup fails, but create_vlan_interface() can create the VLAN and then fail while bringing it up, before _created_vlans records the name. Cleanup then cannot delete the orphaned VLAN. Make create_vlan_interface() delete any VLAN it created when a later setup command fails, then re-raise the error.
