Routing

Graphical User Interface Functional Description

Virtual Router

 Linux user-space routing daemon

 Any daemon software developed in the Fedora Linux
environment
 Linux kernel-space routing table
 IPv4 and IPv6 routing mechanisms
 Virtual network interface card (NIC) in EstiNet SE
 IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) Media Access Control (MAC)

Routing Protocol

 Combining the simulation platform with Quagga, an

open source software with routing protocol suite
 Distance-vector routing protocol
Virtual OpenFlow Switch
 Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
 IP routing of Software-defined Networking (SDN)  Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
 IP header field (e.g., dst addr) matching and forwarding  Link-state routing protocol
 User-designed, field-optimized routing policies  Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
