Overview

This tutorial shows how to use VPP lite to build a simple/toy LISP overlay on an Ubuntu host using namespaces and af_packet.

Requirements

Ubuntu host

ODL Beryllium

Topology

add pretty pic

Setup

Host and vpp configs

Host

Create namespace and set up interface in linux

# path to vpp executable and configurations folder
VPP_LITE_BIN=/home/vagrant/vpp/build-root/install-vpp_lite_debug-native/vpp/bin/vpp
VPP_LITE_CONF=/etc/vpp/lite/

# make sure there are no vpp instances running
pkill vpp
 
# delete previous incarnations if they exist
ip netns exec intervppns ifconfig vppbr down
ip netns exec intervppns brctl delbr vppbr
ip link del dev veth_vpp1 &> /dev/null
ip link del dev veth_vpp2 &> /dev/null
ip link del dev veth_intervpp1 &> /dev/null
ip link del dev veth_intervpp2 &> /dev/null
ip link del dev veth_odl &> /dev/null
ip netns del vppns1 &> /dev/null
ip netns del vppns2 &> /dev/null
ip netns del intervppns &> /dev/null
 
if [ "$1" == "clean" ] ; then
  exit 0;
