#Firewall on Demand#

##Description##

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

                                     |

                              +------v-----+

                              |   router   |

                              |            |

                              +------------+

NETCONF is chosen as the mgmt protocol to apply rules to a single

flowspec capable device. Rules are then propagated via igbp to all

flowspec capable routers. Of course FoD could apply rules directly

(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.

##Installation Considerations##

You can find the installation instructions for Debian Wheezy (64)

with Django 1.4.x at [Flowspy documentation](http://flowspy.readthedocs.org).

If upgrading from a previous version bear in mind the changes introduced in Django 1.4.
