* Package name : ikvswitch Version : 0.0.1 Upstream Contact: Thomas Goirand <z...@debian.org> * URL : https://salsa.debian.org/openstack-team/debian/ikvswitch * License : Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: Shell 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.
