vICN
=========
Description
-------------
This application is an ICN experimental testbed orchestrator. It allows to
quickly deploy experiments in a cluster using linux containers, IP tunnels and
linux kernel tools.
This tool provides the following features:
- Physical topology deployment
- Virtual topology deployment
- ICN Network setup
- Management tools
The architecture of this orchestrator is basically a master-slave architecture.
The master, vICN, controls the whole cluster of servers, by means of HTTPS REST
APIs and remote SSH.
Dependencies
-------------
vICN requires a version of Python >= 3.5, and has the following dependendies.
We refer to them using the name of debian/ubuntu packages:
- python3 (>= 3.5)
- libssl-dev
- python3-pip
- python3-daemon
Installation on Ubuntu
-------------
Download vICN by cloning the git repositoy.
git clone -b vicn/master https://gerrit.fd.io/r/cicn vicn
If you plan to use vICN with Linux Containers, get the latest version of lxd from the LXD ppa:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-lxc/lxd-stable
sudo apt-get update
Install the dependencies. Beware to install the daemon module of python through repositories as the pip version is broken.
sudo apt-get install python3-pip libssl-dev python3-daemon
You can now install vICN:
cd vicn
sudo ./setup.py install
Getting started
--------------
You can have a look at the tutorials available in the fd.io wiki:
