The linuxplugin
is a core Agent Plugin for the management of a subset of the Linux
network configuration. Configuration of VETH (virtual ethernet pair) interfaces, linux routes and ARP entries
is currently supported. Detailed description can be found in particular READMEs:
In general, the northbound configuration is translated to a sequence of Netlink API
calls (using github.com/vishvananda/netlink
and github.com/vishvananda/netns
libraries).
Stopwatch
Duration of the linux netlink procedure can be measured using stopwatch feature. These data are logged after every event(any resync, interfaces, routes, etc.). Enable stopwatch in linux.conf:
stopwatch: true
or stopwatch: false
Stopwatch is disabled by default (if there is no config available).
