topomate/topomate

Network topology emulation using Open vSwitch, Docker containers and FRRouting

topomate (WIP)

Network Topology Automation using FRRouting containers. Documentation is available here.

How does it work ?

Topomate reads a YAML configuration file describing a network topology, and generates containers, links and configurations from it.

Trying Topomate

Topomate is still a WIP project with a CLI that is not that user-friendly. If you want to try it, I highly suggest you to setup a VM. You'll find more informations on this page.

Example configuration files

You can find configuration files in the examples folder.

Notes concerning MPLS

If you want to use MPLS, the following kernel modules must be enabled on the host machine

mpls_router
mpls_iptunnel

Router specific options in YAML

Add router options such as :

autonomous_systems:
  - asn: 10
    routers:
        - hostname: 'MyRouter'
           router_id: '10.1.1.1'
           send_bgp_communities: [10, 299]
