Created a proof-of-concept using Docker containers These enables multiple Stratum + tofino-model instances running in their own containers. However, there is no outside connection of the switch ports INSIDE the Docker container to the outside - so the switch ports can be connected INSIDE their Docker containers. |

1) Running multiple tofino-model + Stratum instances
Currently, Stratum connects to the running tofino-model instance via hardcoded (in tofino-model!) ports on
localhost
.So, starting multiple Stratum instances, of course, is not possible as they all connect to the same tofino-model.
An explanation and solution brought forward by @bocon13 :
2) Mininet integration
Similar to the bmv2 switch class for Mininet, a
tofino-model
switch integration in Mininet certainly would be useful.Also described by @bocon13:
Since the Stratum doc recommends using Docker images, we should go this route?
