In computing, a "one-armed router", also known as a "router on a stick", is a router that has a single physical or logical connection to a network. A one-armed router is often used to forward traffic between locally attached hosts on separate logical routing domains or to facilitate routing table administration, distribution and relay.
Compile the code:
$ mvn clean installRunning the application:
$ ./router-karaf/target/assembly/bin/karaf (required java 8)
$ sudo ./mininet-scripts/test-topology.shThis script will create the test topology to provide the mininet based infrastructure for the vlan routing test as per the test topology.
$ sudo ip netns exec blue /bin/sh

- Application should get the configuration about the sub-interfaces from the user using the rest apis.
- Application will forward the packet as per the provided sub-interface ip addresses.
- Before forwarding the packet to the sub-interface the Application will rewrite the vlan header and mac address.
- Application should also be able to respond for ARP request (Proxy Arp).
