RARE/freeRtr lab nomenclature (Status: draft work in progress)

This section depicts RARE/freeRtr lab nomenclature used in the GP4L running RARE/freeRtr routing stack.

The routing stack is composed of 3 components:

Control Plane: freeRtr is used as control plane
Dataplane: RARE TOFINO P4 dataplane
Communication interface between the control plane and the dataplane

Equipment Naming convention

All equipment will have by default a naming convention rule:

3 letters designating equipment location
4 digits

- 1st digit: <reserved for future use>

- 2nd digit: dataplane type identifier

- 3rd digit: equipment model identifier

- 4th digit: number of equipment

Network assumption

In order to simplify integration and make testing easier, RARE/freeRtr is considered as a worldwide global network domain with the following characteristics:

Backbone is dual-stack (IPv4 / IPv6)
Intra-routing domain has IGP set to OSPF (IPv4) and OSPFv3 (IPv6)

router-id will be 10.x.x.x. <x> is allocated based on equipment instance identifier (Cf. table above)

Both OSPF/OSPFv3 have Segment Routing extension enabled

Node SID is allocated based on Equipment instance identifier (Cf. table above)

Each equipment have iBGP enabled

- and will be RR client

- of BUD WEDGE100BF32X as RR

- with the following AFI/SAFI: [IPv4 IPv6] / [unicast multicast vpnuni ovpnuni vpls evpn]

MPLS is enabled on all core facing interfaces across the entire domain
BIER is enabled on all core facing interfaces across the entire domain
A L3VPN any to any vrf INB_MGNT is configured in order to provide In band management from any equipment
