DEVELOPING

Developing of katran

This guide contains information on how you can build and test katran's BPF forwarding plane and cpp library to control it.

Formating:

We are using clang-format for C++ code formatting. Please make sure that code is properly formatted before sending PR. You can format it with clang-format -i <path/to/file> (if your linux distribution does not have clang-format installed, you can use one from the deps folder: ./deps/clang/clang+llvm-5.0.0-linux-x86_64-ubuntu16.04/bin/clang-format)

Build and compile.

You can build initial version with build_katran.sh script (if you are using ubuntu 18.04). It will download all required dependencies as build actual binaries. However, you can build everything separately.

BPF forwarding plane

To be able to build BPF forwarding plane you need to run build_bpf_modules_opensource.sh from the root of the working directory. It assumes that you have all dependencies installed and that the linux kernel source code is located at deps/linux/ (Note: It is automatically installed there with the script: build_katran.sh). The result of this script will be object files w/ BPF programs, which are going to be located in deps/linux/bpfprog/bpf/. These files are:

  1. balancer_kern.o - object file w/ main BPF program for forwarding
  2. healthchecking_ipip.o - object file w/ BPF program for the forwarding of healthchecks

C++ library

To be able to build C++ library (and examples) you need to:

  1. create (if not exists already) build dir
  2. run cmake .. inside this build dir

Testing

C++ library

If you are adding new features into C++ library, please make sure that you also submit unittests for them (all BPF specific calls should be added into if(!testing_){...} block as they require root access (most of the time). You can run unittests manually or w/ ctest util.

BPF

We have developed special framework for the BPF program testing. It is based on bpf_prog_test_run. This framework allow us to specify predefined test fixtures (input and expected output) to make sure that for specified input BPF program produces expected output. Test fixtures in our case contains base64 encoded packets. You can check katran/lib/testing/KatranTestFixtures.h for examples. To run this tests you just need to run ./os_run_tester.sh script (this script requires root privileges)

$ ./os_run_tester.sh
