BaGPipe BGP CNI plugin

Overview

This plugins allows to confiure container networking with VXLAN and advertise container's network as VXLAN + IP + Mac object using EVPN BGP route. You must have bagpipe-bgp installed on the host machine:

BaGPipe BGP

Probably have a route reflector (BGP router that supports AFI=25 SAFI=70) because bagpipe-bgp allows only to run two nodes without RR.

Nice example of go-based RR: GoBGP and EVPN lab example can be found here EVPN with BaGPipe BGP and GoBGP RR

The easiest way to install plugin: clone CNI repositority: CNI

Make sure that GOPATH environment variable is set

cd $GOPATH
git clone https://github.com/appc/cni
cd cni/plugins/main

git clone https://github.com/murat1985/cni-bagpipe-bgp bagpipe
cd ../../

Build plugins

./build

{
  "name": "mynet",
  "type": "bagpipe",
  "importrt": "64512:90",
  "exportrt": "64512:90",
  "isGateway": false,
  "ipMasq": false,
  "mtu": "1500", 
	"ipam": {
		"type": "host-local",
		"subnet": "10.1.2.0/24",

• exportrt (string, required): export community
• mtu (integer, optional): explicitly set MTU to the specified value. Defaults to the value chosen by the kernel.

Usage with Docker

Assuming that cni installed in the $GOPATH/cni and bagpipe CNI plugin is installed in plugins/main/bagpipe docker-run.sh script could be found in scripts directory of CNI repository

cd $GOPATH/cni
CNI_PATH=`pwd`/bin
./build; cd scripts; CNI_PATH=$CNI_PATH ./docker-run.sh busybox sleep 1000 ; cd ..

TODO

1. GW allocation
2. Delete bagpipe bgp tunnel
