In the previous post I’ve demonstrated a special-purpose CNI plugin for network simulations inside kubernetes called meshnet. I’ve shown how relatively easy it is to build a simple 3-node topology spread across multiple kubernetes nodes. However, when it comes to real-life large-scale topology simulations, using meshnet “as is” becomes problematic due to the following reasons: Uploading topology information into etcd requires a lot of manual effort. Any customisation like startup conf...
