Yet Another Network Emulator !?

Yes !

Usage

Basic usage

• Load and boot the network

  Creation of the multiple parts of the network (hosts, bridges, links, ...)

$ yane [-v]

-v to run yane in verbose mode.

• Sessions

  Multiple sessions can be run simultaneously. A list of active sessions can be seen with :

$ yane -l

A specific session can be killed with :

$ yane -s ID -k

The -s id option is not needed if a single session is running

Configuration and general structure

Build your network :

The network is described in a yane.yml file. This need to build different variables :

• host

  list of host name and mode

  hosts:
    name: NAME
    mode: docker | netns

• BridgeInterface :

  bridgeInterfaces is an array (indexed by bridge names) of BridgeInterface

  ! separated list of interface list

  Example :

  bridges:
    name: myBr
    mode: switched
    interfaces: host-a:v0!host-b:v0!host-c:v0

• Point to point link

  i1!i2

  where

  i1 is one interface

  i2 is another interface

  Example :

  links:
    - host-a:v0:192.168.1.1/24!host-b:v0:192.168.1.2/24

• Interface

  As you can see above interfaces are always described with :

  h:i[:A]
  

  where

  h is the host

  i os the interface name within the host

  a is an IPv4 address

  Example :

  host-a:v0:192.168.10.2/24
