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
