Description : virtual switch infrastructure designed for complex network deployment testing
This package sets up virtual machines that will act as 2 spine switches and 3
racks with 2 leaf switches each, to simulate a datacenter setup. All 8
switches are connected to each other over un-numbered IPv6 link-local
addresses over which a BGP link is established (ie: this is a bgp-to-the-host
setup, or L3 only networking).
.
Once setup, it is possible for the user to connect virtual machines to this
virtual infrastructure. Each VM can be connected to 2 rack switches over BGP
as well.
.
The goal of this package is to be able to experiment with virtual machines,
as if they were physical machines installed into 3 physical racks, with this
type of L3 connectivity only.
Note: I'm planning to use this for testing complex OpenStack networking setup,
but that's far from being the only use case: this is very general purpose.
