Kernel2IP2Kernel

Test kernel to IP to kernel connection

This example shows that NSC and NSE on the different nodes could find and work with each other.

NSC and NSE are using the kernel mechanism to connect to its local forwarder. Forwarders are using the IP payload to connect with each other.

Requires

Make sure that you have completed steps from basic or memory or ipsec mechanism setup.

Run

Deploy NSC and NSE:

kubectl apply -k https://github.com/networkservicemesh/deployments-k8s/examples/use-cases/Kernel2IP2Kernel?ref=b5a6aa9adf11b838bc0684a0a9e17ad8690dfb52

Wait for applications ready:

kubectl wait --for=condition=ready --timeout=1m pod -l app=alpine -n ns-kernel2ip2kernel

kubectl wait --for=condition=ready --timeout=1m pod -l app=nse-kernel -n ns-kernel2ip2kernel

Ping from NSC to NSE:

kubectl exec pods/alpine -n ns-kernel2ip2kernel -- ping -c 4 172.16.1.100

Ping from NSE to NSC:

kubectl exec deployments/nse-kernel -n ns-kernel2ip2kernel -- ping -c 4 172.16.1.101

Cleanup

Delete ns:

kubectl delete ns ns-kernel2ip2kernel
