VPP for Docker containers

This repository can build you docker containers with VPP in one of two configurations:

  • A single container with two VPP instances running
  • One VPP instance per container

In either case, the configuration looks like the below:

Network Diagram

The following is the IP configuration of the VPP and host interfaces:

  • vpp1:
    • 10.10.2.1
  • vpp2:
    • 10.10.2.2
  • host interface in the container:
    • 10.10.1.1
  • host interface in vpp1:
    • 10.10.1.2

Building, running, testing

To build, run and test the allinone instance:

make docker-build-allinone
make run-allinone
make test-allinone

To build, run and test the setup where VPP instances run in their own containers:

make docker-build-multiple
make run-multiple
make test-multiple

Starting the containers manually is left as an exercise for the reader.

StrongSwan With VPP

There is another container which will setup and run a simple VPP and StrongSwan test.

To build, run, and test this, do the following:

make docker-build-strongswan
make run-strongswan
make test-strongswan

The above will build a configuration per the diagram below:

               +---------------+                +----------------+      +-------+
               |               | 10.10.1.0/24   |                |      |       | 10.10.10.10

                                                +----------------+      |loop0  |
                                                                        +-------+

StrongSwan With Integrated VPP

A second set of containers will run StrongSwan with integrated VPP charon drivers to allow VPP to drive the ipsec dataplane.

To build, run, and test this, do the following:

make docker-build-vppvpn
make run-vppvpn
make test-vppvpn

This builds the following configuration:
