A sample virtual machine definition to run the script is provided and managed using Vagrant, using a VirtualBox provider.

You need to install both of these softwares on your machine in order to run an emulated network.

• ./build_vm.sh will create and provision the virtual machine.
• vagrant up will boot the VM (once it has been built).
• vagrant ssh (from this directory) will create an ssh connection to the VM.
• vagrant halt will stop the VM (i.e. shutdown properly the guest OS).

• make create will start the network
• make clean will halt the network
• make connect ROUTER={name of a router} will connect you to the router specified when the network is up
• make test launch the tests
• ./snmp.py will launch the snmp daemon

The main directory of this repository contains the set of scripts to start a virtual network as well as loads and apply its configuration files. You should only run such a network within the VM.

The routers all define a boot script, which reloads the sysctl configuration in every net NS (in this case: Enable IPv6 and IPv6 forwarding). Their startup script then assign IPv6 addresses to the interfaces and/or start a routing daemon.
