Ethernet over WebSocket tunneling server/client
Project description
Introduction
etherws is an implementation of Ethernet over WebSocket tunnel based on Linux Universal TUN/TAP device driver.
Usage
For example, if you want to make virtual ethernet link for VM1 and VM2 whose hypervisor’s broadcast domains were split by router R:
+------------------+ +------------------+ | Hypervisor1 | | Hypervisor2 | | +-----+ | | +-----+ | | | VM1 | | | | VM2 | | | +--+--+ | | +--+--+ | | | (vnet0) | | (vnet0) | | | +--+--+ | | +--+--+ | | | br0 | | | | br0 | | | +--+--+ | | +--+--+ | | | | | | | | (ethws0) (eth0) | | (eth0) (ethws0) | +----||--------+---+ +----+-------||----+ || | +---+ | || || -----+--------| R |--------+----- || || +---+ || || || ``======================================'' (Ethernet over WebSocket tunnel)
then you can type following commands.
on Hypervisor1:
# etherws server # brctl addbr br0 # brctl addif br0 vnet0 # brctl addif br0 ethws0 # ifconfig br0 up
on Hypervisor2:
# etherws client --uri ws://<Hypervisor1's IP address>/ # brctl addbr br0 # brctl addif br0 vnet0 # brctl addif br0 ethws0 # ifconfig br0 up
