Are there any plans to take advantage of LXD
<https://github.com/lxc/lxd/blob/master/specs/rest-api.md> in KaanalNet in
the future also?
Unprivileged & Privilieged LXC container use ?
Sorry for all the questions.

Hi Brian,
Yes. I agree with you. Thats the main reason to develop this.
KaanalNet also supports the traditional networking topology with self
configured router(Quagga stack runs).
I am started revamping the Wiki Page with more SDN use cases ,
traditional network topology use cases, mixed networks etc.
Please keep a eye on this.
https://github.com/sureshkvl/kaanalnet/wiki
kaanalnet.org
The only limitation is ,
KaanalNet supports only UBUNTU 14.04 + OS.. (Note: I havent tested on
other Linux variants, it may or may not work).
thanks

That will be awesome thanks.
Besides myself I'd seen a lot of people request full LXC containers in
mininet over the past couple years. Not being
a programmer there wasn't much I could do until someone who is a coder
added the full LXC capability though.
It would have been great for that to happen and then be able to utilize
that with Maxinet <https://github.com/MaxiNet/MaxiNet>, ODL etc
I'll get KaanalNet installed and start playing with it to see what all is
different from mininet.

Hi Brian,
Mininet uses the network namespaces. KaanalNet uses the LXC.
Yes, kaanalNet utilizes the lxc-create,start,stop,clone etc to create a
nodes.
When you create a topology, the node is created a UBUNTU LXC container,
which can be accessible via SSH.
Yes. you can install any application as you want.
Thanks
suresh.

On the KaanalNet wiki page it says:
*KaanalNet uses the Linux Containers (LXC), openvswitch, linux bridge and
ping,iperf(traffic utilities). KaanalNet is tested with OpenDayLight and
POX SDN controller.*
I'm just trying to clarify what "*uses the Linux Containers (LXC)*"
means. Mininet uses the LXC terminology also but does NOT use the
linuxcontainers.org
API for LXC <https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/introduction/>.
Mininet uses only a "lightweight" linux container and not an LXC container
where you have a full OS running in the LXC container & sharing the kernel
of the host machine.
It would be great if KaanalNet really used the lxc-create, lxc-start,
lxc-stop, lxc-clone etc command set/API so it would be possible to install
an actual application into the KaanalNet network host/nodes.
Thanks for any clarification.
Brian
