+Firewall on Demand applies via NETCONF, flow rules to a network
device. These rules are then propagated via e-bgp to peering routers.
Each user is authenticated against shibboleth. Authorization is
performed via a combination of a Shibboleth attribute and the peer
network address range that the user originates from. FoD is meant to
operate over this architecture:
- +-----------+ +------------+ +------------+
- | FoD | NETCONF | flowspec | ebgp | router |
- | web app +----------> device +--------> |
- +-----------+ +------+-----+ +------------+
- | ebgp

NETCONF is chosen as the mgmt protocol to apply rules to a single
flowspec capable device. Rules are then propagated via igbp to all
(via NETCONF always) to a router and then ibgp would do the rest. In
GRNET's case the flowspec capable device is an EX4200.
-Attention: Make sure your FoD server has ssh access to your flowspec device.
