Driver network.lo

Minimal configlet:

[network#1]
type = lo

Minimal setup command:

om node set --kw="type=lo"

Supported keywords:

  • mask_per_node
  • max_peers
  • type

Keyword mask_per_node

required:    false
scopable:    false
default:     0
convert:     int

Description:

The prefix length of the subnets distributed to each node. For example if the network is a x.x.x.x/16 you can distribute

  • x.x.x.x/17 subnets to 2 nodes
  • x.x.x.x/18 to 4 nodes
  • etc…

If both mask_per_node and ips_per_node are set, ips_per_node is ignored. If only ips_per_node is set, it is honored for backward compatibility.

The ips_per_node keyword is deprecated because its value is hard to manage for large ipv6 subnets (e.g a x.x.x.x/48 subnet has 281474976710656 ips).

Keyword max_peers

required:    false
scopable:    false
convert:     int

Example:

max_peers=8

Description:

Keyword type

required:    false
scopable:    false
candidates:  bridge, routed_bridge
default:     bridge

Description:

The type of network.
