  • had a demonstration of how to integrate freeRouter into a local area network (Similar to article #002)
  • However instead of using bmv2 we used a INTEL/BAREFOOT P4 dataplane called: TOFINO (bf_switchd)
  • TOFINO bf_switchd target is used an runrunning RARE bf_outerrouter.p4
  • communication between freeRouter control plane and TOFINO is ensured by pcapInt via veth pair [ veth250 - veth251 ]
  • This communication is possible via RARE bf_forwarder.py based on GRPC P4Lang BfRuntime python binding
  • In this example the TOFINO bf_switchd P4 virtual switch model has only 1 dataplane interface that is bound to enp0s3 VM interface exposed to the local network as a bridged interface
