PoC collection of scripts and modules that perform the following

1. Connects via gRPC to a running GoBGP instance and submits a query for the contents of the BGP-LS table
   • or, loads from file a cached BGP-LS table (To dump, proto.GoBGPQueryWrapper.debug())
2. Filters the returned structured data for only those values which are useful and required
3. Builds a NetworkX graph object representative of the NLRI extracted
4. Draws visual representation of said NetworkX graph object to screen or file

# RPC tools
from proto import GoBGPQueryWrapper
# Graphing tools
import graphing

gobgp_target = {"target_ipv4_address": "172.20.10.2", "target_rpc_port": 50051}
rpc = GoBGPQueryWrapper(**gobgp_target)

lsdb = rpc.get_lsdb()
graph = graphing.build_nx_from_lsdb(lsdb)

graphing.draw_pyplot_graph(graph)

pip install -r requirements.txt

• NetworkX + matplotlib (graphing.draw_pyplot_graph)

   pip3 install networkx matplotlib

To get pygraphviz working ...

    Requires:
        redhat: graphviz-devel python3-dev graphviz pkg-config
        debian: python3-dev graphviz libgraphviz-dev pkg-config

• GoBGP
• gRPCio

You may need to prepare your own gRPC python interfaces if ours dont work. This process is described in the GoBGP guide on interfacing from your favourite language.

    - https://www.grpc.io/docs/languages/python/quickstart/
    python3 -m pip install grpcio
    python3 -m pip install grpcio-tools
    - Clone the gobgp repo and prep the rpc interface to python
    gobgp\api> python -m grpc_tools.protoc -I./ --python_out=. --grpc_python_out=. *.proto

Because we can, and it's fun

Testing topologies are running ISIS, and 1 node peers with BGP-LS to the Ubuntu guest running GoBGP.

• Clouds are a breakout for the virtual environment, allowing RPC calls from the real-world.
• All nodes must support ISIS, but only the node peering to the GoBGP systems needs to support and peer BGP-LS
  • e.g Only R2 has an iBGP peering for address-family link-state link-state (BGP-LS) to the GoBGP instance.

This topology is described under tests/lab_topology_definitions/lab_topology.yaml

This topology is described under tests/lab_topology_definitions/18-node-topology.yaml

GoBGP configuration file is defined by the following YAML

global:
  config:
    as: 65001
    router-id: 10.2.9.9
neighbors:
- config:
    neighbor-address: 10.2.9.2
    peer-as: 65001
  transport:
    config:
      local-address: 10.2.9.9
  afi-safis:
  - config:
      afi-safi-name: ls

• Supports loading BGP-LS table dumps from file, an alternative to RPC connections
• Resolves ISIS TLV 137 for actual hostnames
• Supports Psuedonodes
