Tutorial 4: Multi tenant DCN TNC 2016
The goal of this tutorial is to experiment with the configuration of a small RINA-based data centre network using the Network Management System DAF (NMS-DAF) developed in the PRISTINE project. This experiment was demonstrated live at the TNC 2016 conference. This scenario has been tested with the pristine-1.5 branch, using 12 XEN Virtual Machines running in the same Host.
The image above shows the top view of the DCN scenario, except for the Management DIF (not shown to not overcomplicate the picture). In the demo configuration the NMS-DAF was running over a dedicated DIF - to better enforce separation of user and management traffic - but this is just a possible configuration: the NMS-DAF can use any underlying DIF. The image below shows a side view of the different levels of DIFs in the DC.
Configuration files must be copied to the stack's installation path "etc" folder (e.g. if you installed it in /usr/local/irati, config files must be in /usr/local/irati/etc). The configuration files only create the shim IPCPs in each system as well the IPCP in the NMS DIF, all the other DIFs will be created via the Manager.
Copy the following files into <installation_path>/etc.
