Overview
|
|
5 |
--------
|
|
6 |
|
|
7 |
This is nfdhpcd, a userspace server written in python and based on
|
|
8 |
[NFQUEUE](https://www.wzdftpd.net/redmine/projects/nfqueue-bindings/wiki/). The
|
|
9 |
administrator can enable processing of DHCP, NS, RS, DHCPv6 requests on
|
|
10 |
individual TAP interfaces by injecting nfdhcpd in the processing pipeline for
|
|
11 |
IP packets dynamically (by mangling the corresponding packet types and redirect
|
|
12 |
them to the appropriate nfqueue).
|
|
13 |
|
|
14 |
The daemon runs on the host and is controlled by manipulating files
|
|
15 |
under its state directory. Creation of a new file under this directory
|
|
16 |
("binding file") instructs the daemon to reply on the requests arriving
|
|
17 |
on the specified TAP interface.
|
|
18 |
|
|
19 |
nfdhpcd is meant to work with [Ganeti](http://code.google.com/p/ganeti) and
|
|
20 |
[snf-network](https://github.com/grnet/snf-network). Instances inside the
|
|
21 |
cluster will obtain their configuration dynamically in a completely transparent
|
|
22 |
way without being aware of nfdhpcd's existence.
