Virtual Network Project

This is multi-purpose project to experiment with Docker, SDN and Linux Networking

NOTE 1 : everything is automated, from building docker images to advanced network configuration, you'll be able to create this entire network with only ONE command : vagrant up

For now the Network looks like this : (no services yet)

DONE

1. Learn Docker Networking (docker network)
2. Learn Linux Namespaces (ip netns)
3. Create a two container Network (linked using a veth pair)
4. (WAN) Create a larger Network (3 routers : BACKBONE, ISP and GATEWAY and 3 NAT devices) Manual ip configuration, static routing (OSPF Later), NAT configuration (IPTABLES rules)
5. (LAN) Create an OVS (Open vSwitch), use Pipwork for configuration [found some troubles with native linux bridge]

TODO

1. Error handling in Bash
2. Services configuration (Dockerfile)

• DNS — port 53
• SSH — port 22
• Telnet — port 23
• FTP — port 21
• SMTP — port 25
• POP3 — port 110
• POP3S — port 995
• IMAP — port 143
• IMAPS — port 993
• HTTP — port 80
• HTTPS — port 443

3. Expand the network to a Multi-host environment (Docker Swarm Orchestration)
4. Explain the magic happening behind the network (VXLAN, MACVLAN, IPTABLES, GRE tunnels ...)
5. no idea what to do next, any suggestions ? ping me at imad.hsissou@edu.uca.ma or fb.com/imadhsissou
