(only need to set it)
SERVER_BITS
CLUSTER_BITS

###Additional Information
- Config order of priority ENV -> config file -> defaults
ssh-user
,ssh-password
and rsa-user
, rsa-key
are both used, starting with pass auth then falling back to key auth
##IP Scheme
We are using ipv4 so each address will have 32 bits.
The following assumptions will be made
- Each server will have a relatively unique
serverId
- This uniqueness need only apply to servers which will contain nodes which communicate with each other
- There are going to be 3 ip addresses reserved from each subnet
- Nodes in the same docker network are able to route between each other by default
For simplicity, the following variables will be used
- A =
ip-prefix
- B =
server-bits
- C =
cluster-bits
- D =
node-bits
Note the following rules
- A,B,C, and D must be greater than 0
- ceil(log2(A)) + B + C + D <= 32
- D must be atleast 2
- (2^B) = The maximum number of servers
- (2^C) = The number of cluster in a given server
- (2^D - 3) = How many nodes are groups together in each cluster
- (2^D - 3) * (2^C) = The max number of nodes on a server
- (2^D - 3) * (2^C) * (2^B) = The maximum number of nodes that could be on the platform
###What is a cluster?
Each cluster corresponds to a subnet,docker network,and vlan.
Containers in the same cluster will have minimal latency applied to them. In the majority of cases
it is best to just have one node per cluster, allowing for latency control between all of the nodes.
###How is it all calculated?
Given a node number X and a serverId
of Y,
Let Z be the cluster number,
I be the generated IP in big-endian,
and the earlier mentioned variables applied
Z = floor(X / (2^D - 3)))
I = (A * 2^(B+C+D) ) + ( Y * 2^(B+C) ) + (Z * 2^C) + (X % (2^D - 3) + 2)
if Z == (2^C - 1) then I = I - 2
####Explaination
First get the cluster the node is in
Then construct the IP one segment at a time through addition
Due to the restrictions, each piece will fit neatly into place without overlap
Finally, check if it is not the last cluster on the server,
add 1 to the ip address if it is not the last cluster.
####Example
Given a node number(X) of 2 and a serverId
(Y) of 3
Given the IP Scheme of A = 10, B = 8, C = 14, D = 2
Z = floor(2/(2^2 - 3))
Z = 2
It is going to be in cluster 2
Now, for the construction of the IP
Visually, it can be represented as
IP = AAAAAAAA BBBBBBBB CCCCCCCC CCCCCCDD
The values are simply placed inside the bit space of the IP address as represented,
with the exception of the D bits, which needs to be calculated
calculate this number as (2 % (2^2 - 3) + 2) or 2
Then since (Z != (2^C - 1)) 2 != 16383, the value remains 2
Finally, construct IP
Part A = 00001010
Part B = 00000011
Part C = 00000000000010
Part D = 10
IP = 00001010 00000011 00000000000010 10
= 00001010 00000011 00000000 00001010
= 10 3 0 10
The gateway is calculated in a similar way, except take Part D to always equal 1
Gateway IP = 00001010 00000011 00000000000010 01
= 00001010 00000011 00000000 00001001
= 10 3 0 9
Finally the subnet is 32 - D
Resulting in
IP = 10.3.0.10
Gateway IP = 10.3.0.9
Subnet = 10.3.0.8/30
