This directory contains a port of ipfw and dummynet to Linux/OpenWrt
(including PlanetLab) and Windows. This version of ipfw and dummynet
is called "ipfw3" as it is the third major rewrite of the code.
The source code here comes straight from FreeBSD (roughly the
version in HEAD as of February 2010), plus some glue code
and headers written from scratch.
Unless specified otherwise, all the code here is under a BSD license.

Specific build instructions are below, and in general produce

	a kernel module,	ipfw_mod.ko (ipfw_mod.sys on windows)
	a userland program,	/sbin/ipfw (ipfw.exe on windows)

which you need to install on your system.

=========== INSTALL/REMOVE INSTRUCTIONS ========================

FreeBSD, OSX:
    INSTALL:
	kldload ipfw.ko ; kldload dummynet.ko 
    REMOVE:
	kldunload dummynet.ko; kldunload ipfw.ko

Linux
    INSTALL:
	# insmod need the full path (/lib/modules/*/net/netfilter/ipfw_mod.ko)
	# Do the following as root
	insmod ./dummynet2/ipfw_mod.ko
	cp ipfw/ipfw /usr/local/sbin
    REMOVE:
	rmmod ipfw_mod.ko

OpenWRT
    INSTALL:	# use the correct name for your system
	opkg install  kmod-ipfw3_2.4.35.4-brcm-2.4-1_mipsel.ipk #install
	ls -l ls -l /lib/modules/2.4.35.4/ipfw*     # check
	insmod /lib/modules/2.4.35.4/ipfw_mod.o     # load the module
	/lib/modules/2.4.35.4/ipfw show             # launch the userspace tool
    REMOVE:
	rmmod ipfw_mod.o                            # remove the module

Windows:
    INSTALL THE NDIS DRIVER

	- open the configuration panel for the network card in use
	  (right click on the icon on the SYSTRAY, or go to
	  Control Panel -> Network and select one card)

	- click on Properties->Install->Service->Add
	- click on 'Driver Disk' and select 'netipfw.inf' in this folder
	- select 'ipfw+dummynet' which is the only service you should see
	- click accept on the warnings for the installation of an unknown
	  driver (roughly twice per existing network card)

	Now you are ready to use the emulator. To configure it, open a 'cmd'
	window and you can use the ipfw command from the command line.
	Otherwise click on the 'TESTME.bat' which is a batch program that
	runs various tests.

    REMOVE:
	- select a network card as above.
	- click on Properties
	- select 'ipfw+dummynet'
	- click on 'Remove'


=================== BUILD INSTRUCTIONS ==========================

***** Windows XP ******
    You can find a pre-built version in the binary/ subdirectory.
    To build your own version of the package you need:
	- MSVC DDK available from ...
	    http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/DevTools/WDK/WDKpkg.mspx

	- optionally, DbgView if you want to see diagnostic
	    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896647.aspx

	- cygwin, http://www.cygwin.com/
	  with base packages, make, c compiler, possibly an editor
	  and subversion.

    Open a shell from cygwin, move to this directory, and simply
    run "make". The output of the build will be in this
    directory, made of 4 files:
	ipfw.exe (you also need cygwin.dll)
	ipfw.sys (an NDIS intermediate filter driver)
	dummynet.inf and dummynet_m.inf (installer files)

    ---- INSTALL INSTRUCTION ---




***** Linux 2.6.x ******

	make KERNELPATH=/path/to/linux USRDIR=/path/to/usr

    where the two variables are optional an point to the linux kernel
    sources and the /usr directory. Defaults are USRDIR=/usr and
    KERNELPATH=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build 	--- XXX check ?

    NOTE: make sure CONFIG_NETFILTER is enabled in the kernel
    configuration file. You need the ncurses devel library,
    that can be installed according your distro with:
	apt-get install ncurses-dev	# for debian based distro
	yum -y install ncurses-dev	# for fedora based distro
    You can enable CONFIG_NETFILTER by doingdevel:
    
	"(cd ${KERNELPATH}; make menuconfig)"

    and enabling the option listed below:

        Networking --->
	    Networking options  --->
              [*] Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)

    If you have not yet compiled your kernel source, you need to
    prepare the build environment:

	(cd $(KERNELPATH); make oldconfig; make prepare; make scripts)

***** Linux 2.4.x *****

    Almost as above, with an additional VER=2.4

	make VER=2.4 KERNELPATH=...

    For 2.4, if KERNELPATH is not specified then we use
    	KERNELPATH ?= /usr/src/`uname -r`/build

    You need to follow the same instruction for the 2.6 kernel, enabling
    netfilter in the kernel options:

    Networking options  --->
      [*] Network packet filtering (replaces ipchains)

***** Openwrt package *****

    (Tested with kamikaze_8.09.1 and Linux 2.4)

    + Download and extract the OpenWrt package, e.g.

	wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8.09.1/kamikaze_8.09.1_source.tar.bz2
	tar xvjf kamikaze_8.09.1_source.tar.bz2

    + move to the directory with the OpenWrt sources (the one that
      contains Config.in, rules.mk ...)

	cd kamikaze_8.09.1

    + Optional: to be sure that the tools are working, make a first
      build as follows:

	- run "make menuconfig" and set the correct target device,
	  drivers, and so on;
	- run "make" to do the build

    + Add ipfw3 to the openwrt package, as follows:

      - copy the code from this directory to the place used for the build:

		cp -Rp /path_to_ipfw3 ../ipfw3; 

	If you want, you can fetch a newer version from the web
	(cd ..; rm -rf ipfw3; \
	wget http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/dummynet/ipfw3-latest.tgz;\
	tar xvzf ipfw3-latest.tgz)

      - run the following commands:
	(mkdir package/ipfw3; \
	cp ../ipfw3/Makefile.openwrt package/ipfw3/Makefile)

	to create the package/ipfw3 directory in the OpenWrt source
	directory, and copy Makefile.openwrt to package/ipfw3/Makefile ;

      - if necessary, edit package/ipfw3/Makefile and set IPFW_DIR to point to
	the directory ipfw3, which contains the sources;

      - run "make menuconfig" and select kmod-ipfw3 as a module <M> in
	    Kernel Modules -> Other modules -> kmod-ipfw3 

      - run "make" to build the package, "make V=99" for verbose build.

      - to modify the code, assuming you are in directory "kamikaze_8.09.1"
	
	(cd ../ipfw3 && vi ...the files you are interested in )
	rm -rf build_dir/linux-brcm-2.4/kmod-ipfw3
	make package/ipfw3/compile V=99

    The resulting package is located in bin/packages/mipsel/kmod-ipfw3*,
    upload the file and install on the target system, as follows:

    opkg install  kmod-ipfw3_2.4.35.4-brcm-2.4-1_mipsel.ipk #install
    ls -l ls -l /lib/modules/2.4.35.4/ipfw*     # check
    insmod /lib/modules/2.4.35.4/ipfw_mod.o     # load the module
    /lib/modules/2.4.35.4/ipfw show             # launch the userspace tool
    rmmod ipfw_mod.o                            # remove the module

***** PLANETLAB BUILD (within a slice) *****
These instruction can be used by PlanetLab developers to compile
the dummynet module on a node. To install the module on the node
users need root access in root context.  PlanetLab users that want
to use the dummynet package should ask to PlanetLab support for
nodes with dummynet emulation capabilities.

    Follow the instructions below. You can just cut&paste

	# install the various tools if not available
	sudo yum -y install subversion rpm-build rpm-devel m4 redhat-rpm-config make gcc
	# new build installation requires the gnupg package
	sudo yum -y install gnupg

	# create and move to a work directory
	mkdir -p test
	# extract a planetlab distribution to directory XYZ
	(cd test; svn co http://svn.planet-lab.org/svn/build/trunk XYZ)
	# copy the planetlab/*mk files here, overriding existing ones
	cp planetlab/*mk test/XYZ
	# download the specfiles and do some patching.
	# Results are into SPEC/ (takes 5 minutes)
	(cd test/XYZ; make stage1=true PLDISTRO=planetlab )
	# Building the slice code is fast, the root code takes longer
	# as it needs to rebuild the whole kernel
	(cd test/XYZ; sudo make ipfwslice ipfwroot)

    The kernel dependency phase is a bit time consuming, but does not
    need to be redone if we are changing the ipfw sources only.
    To clean up the code do
	(cd test/XYZ; sudo make ipfwroot-clean ipfwslice-clean)
    then after you have updated the repository again
	(cd test/XYZ; sudo make ipfwslice ipfwroot)

--- other, instructions (to be verified) ---

To build a kernel module for the PlanetLab distribution you need a
build system.  For an up-to-date and detailed information on how
to build a local myplc installation, a local mirror, a PlanetLab
test system see[1]

To create a build system you need to do the following steps:

 1. install CentOS 5, detailed information[2]

 1.A download the image from the main site[3] for example:

	wget http://mi.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/CentOS/5.4/isos/i386/CentOS-5.4-i386-netinstall.iso

 1.B Add the repository

	cat >> /etc/yum.repos.d/dhozac-vserver.repo <<EOF
	[dhozac-vserver]
name=Linux-VServer related packages for CentOS $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://rpm.hozac.com/dhozac/centos/$releasever/vserver/$basearch
gpgkey=http://rpm.hozac.com/conf/keys/RPM-DHOZAC-GPG-KEY
EOF

 1.C Update, install and config the system

	yum update yum
	yum install kernel
	yum install util-vserver{,-core,-lib,-sysv,-build}
	yum install vim
	yum install subversion
	/etc/init.d/vprocunhide start
	chkconfig vservers-default on

 2. create a vserver

 2.A Checkout the planetlab build

	cd
	svn co http://svn.planet-lab.org/svn/build/trunk svn-build

 2.B Search for a working RPM distribution in:

	http://build.onelab.eu/onelab/
	# good distribution ends in .ok, bad in .ko
	# in this example we used the following:
	http://build.onelab.eu/onelab/2008.03.02--onelab-f8-linux32/RPMS/

 2.C Creating a vserver

	cd ~/svn-build
	./vtest-init-vserver.sh -f f8 -d onelab -p linux32 mybuild \
	  http://build.onelab.eu/onelab/2008.03.02--onelab-f8-linux32/RPMS/ \
	  -- --interface eth0:138.96.255.221 --hostname vnode01.inria.fr &> mybuild.log&

 3. create the build

 3.A Enter on the vserver, and create the build

	vserver mybuild enter
	cd \
	svn co http://svn.planet-lab.org/svn/build/trunk build

 4. build

 4.A build[4]
	cd /build

	# full cleanup
	make distclean

	# the compilation is composed by several steps,
	# make help for more information
	# the first for the onelab compilation will download
	# the SPEC file from the repository specified in
	# onelab-tags.mk
	make stage1=true PLDISTRO=onelab

	# to download and build a module, for example ipfw:
	make ipfw

	# to do local changes
	cd /build/CODEBASE
	rm -rf ipfw
	# download the ipfw sources and extract it into ./ipfw
	# by svn
	svn+ssh://onelab2.iet.unipi.it/home/svn/ports-luigi/dummynet-branches/ipfw_mod ./ipfw
	# from web
        wget http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/dummynet/ipfw_mod-latest.tgz
        tar xvzf ipfw_mod-latest.tgz

	# start the compilation
	rm -rf SOURCES/ipfw*
	rm -rf BUILD/ipfw-0.1/
	rm -rf SRPMS/ipfw*
	rm -rf RPMS/i386/ipfw*
	make ipfw

 5. download and install sources into a node

 5.A Copy RPMS into the node and install it:
	# exit from the root context
	exit
	# copy the resulting rpm file on the target node
	scp  /vserver/mybuild/build/RPMS/i386/ipfw-* [email protected]:
	# log in as root (in root context)
	ssh [email protected]
	# deinstall the old ipfw installation (and remove the module)
	rpm -e ipfwroot
	# install the new rpm
	rpm -ivh ./ipfwroot-0-9...TAB
	# load the module
	# modprobe will locate the module for us
	# insmod need the full path (/lib/modules/*/net/netfilter/ipfw_mod.ko)
	modprobe ipfw_mod

 5.B This step is alternative to the previous on, it avoids to install the new
	rpm file.

	# remove the old module, if present
	rmmod ipfw_mod

	# copy the resulting rpm file on the target node
	scp  /vserver/mybuild/build/RPMS/i386/ipfw-* [email protected]:
	
	# log in as root (in root context)
	ssh [email protected]

	# convert the rpmfile to a cpio archive and extract files
	mkdir tmp
	mv ipfw*.rpm tmp
	cd tmp
	rpm2cpio ipfwroot-0...TAB | cpio -id
	cd ..

	# install the module with insmod (we can not use modprobe now)
	insmod /tmp/lib/modules/*/net/netfilter/ipfw_mod.ko
