Our objective is to build the kernel network stack as a shared library that can be linked to by userspace programs to provide network stack personalization and testing facilities, and allow researchers to more easily simulate complex network topologies of linux routers/hosts. Although the architecture itself can virtualize various things, the current design only focuses on the network stack. You can benefit network stack feature such as TCP, UDP, SCTP, DCCP (IPv4 and IPv6), Mobie IPv6, Multipath TCP (IPv4/IPv6, out-of-tree at the present moment), and netlink with various userspace applications (quagga, iproute2, iperf, wget, and thttpd). == What is LibOS ? == The library exposes an entry point as API, which is lib_init(), in order to connect userspace applications to the (userspace-version) kernel network stack. The clock source, virtual struct net_device, and scheduler are provided by caller while kernel resource like system calls is provided by callee. Once the LibOS is initialized via the API, userspace applications with POSIX socket can use the system calls defined in LibOS by replacing from the original socket-related symbols to the LibOS-specific one. Then application can benefit the network stack of LibOS without involving the host network stack. Currently, there are two users of LibOS: Network Stack in Userspace (NUSE) and ns-3 network simulatior with Direct Code Execution (DCE). These codes are managed at an external repository(*1). == How to use it ? == to build the library, % make {defconfig,menuconfig} ARCH=lib then, build it. % make library ARCH=lib You will see liblinux-$(KERNELVERSION).so in the top directory. == More information == The crucial difference between UML (user-mode linux) and this approach is that we allow multiple network stack instances to co-exist within a single process with dlmopen(3) like linking for easy debugging. These patches are also available on this branch: git://github.com/libos-nuse/net-next-nuse.git for-linus-upstream-libos-v5 For further information, here is a slideset presented at the last netdev0.1 conference. http://www.slideshare.net/hajimetazaki/library-operating-system-for-linux-netdev01 I would appreciate any kind of your feedback regarding to upstream this feature. *1
