FRR on NRL CORE (fyi)
by Phil Wiggins 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

If anyone is interested in running FRR in the NRL CORE emulation environment, I have some build scripts for FRR on CORE that I posted at the first link below. Normally CORE runs Quagga, so this script was a hack to shoehorn FRR as a Quagga replacement. These scripts are not part of CORE yet, so are unsupported. People on this list may want to use CORE for FRR experimentation and testing, so you can customize these scripts to suit your own needs. It's best to run this stuff in a VM with no internet connection (after installation) since CORE runs lots of processes as root - a well-known security issue. https://github.com/coreemu/core/issues/170 ( install_frr_for_core.sh) FRR on NRL CORE build script - assumes Ubuntu 16.04.4 clean installation in a VM or physical host: https://gist.github.com/apwiggins/44f3592a61965783372aea5881ed9f7a (core_misc_frr.py ) used by the install script above to install at ./core/misc/frr.py https://gist.github.com/apwiggins/d610c2794c8c0a12a45bfc093fd2e949 (core_services_frr.py) used by the install script above to install at ./core/services/frr.py https://gist.github.com/apwiggins/747a9a14feff2ce3a3b8760406b825a7 https://www.nrl.navy.mil/itd/ncs/products/core The Common Open Research Emulator (CORE) is a tool for emulating networks on one or more machines. You can connect these emulated networks to live networks. CORE consists of a GUI for drawing topologies of lightweight virtual machines, and Python modules for scripting network emulation.

Conditions to have code accepted into the project
by Albert López 05 Feb '19

05 Feb '19

Dear all, We have an implementation of the LISP protocol and we are evaluating how easy would be to adapt it to be integrated in the FRRouting project. Our initial code has its own memory management, timers (task scheduling), ... In order to know how much of the code can be reused, I would like to know if it is really mandatory to use the memory management library provided by the FRRouting project or the task scheduling (for instance to send periodic control messages) to have the code accepted and merged in the FRRRouting project. Another question we have is that our code is licensed under Apache 2. Is FRRouting license compatible with apache 2 ? I believe yes but I am not sure. Best regards Albert López

I would imagine some kind of API or > event-driven mechanisms that would require HW manufacturer's Hi Łukasz There are multiple ways to do this. The simplest is to just use the kernel APIs as they are for adding/removing routes. The kernel already has all the internal plumbing to pass the information down into the switch driver, and offload it to the hardware. FFR just works. The problem is, few of the Open Networking equipment are actually open. They have a big binary blob SDK running in user space, not an open source driver in the kernel. Andrew

There are also commercial offerings available that couple the kernel networking stack to switching hardware. cheers, JR On Mon, Jan 21, 2019 at 2:31 PM Łukasz Wójcik via dev < dev(a)lists.frrouting.org> wrote: > > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: "Łukasz Wójcik" <lukasz.wojcik(a)zoho.com> > To: Hagen Woesner <hagen.woesner(a)bisdn.de>, dev(a)lists.frrouting.org > Cc: > Bcc: > Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2019 20:10:12 +0100 > Subject: Re: [dev] Open Network Equipment and FRRouting > I'll definitely check that out.
