Quagga-Net-Sim

This software automates the creation of virtual Quagga routers for network simulation. It is written in Node.js. The file config.json contains the network topology, and this topology is created by running app.js.

Installing Quagga

sudo apt-get install git gcc make autoconf automake libtool gawk texinfo

git clone https://github.com/opensourcerouting/quagga.git

sudo useradd quagga
sudo mkdir /usr/local/quagga
sudo chown quagga:quagga /usr/local/quagga

cd quagga
./bootstrap.sh
./configure --sysconfdir=/usr/local/quagga --localstatedir=/usr/local/quagga
make
sudo make install

Starting the software

sudo ./app.js

Testing the network

You will probably have to wait thirty seconds or so for the routers to exchange links before Client_2 becomes reachable.

sudo ip netns exec Client_1 traceroute 30.0.0.1

Stopping the software

./apps.js stop
