I think instantiated: False is the problem. network.get_gateway() would not return the IP in this case.

GraphML file here: https://cdn1.frocdn.ch/oq8kXrhxQRTtAR4.graphml

I can definitely see the IP addresses in the GraphML file, but it’s not showing up in the list_node_and_networks.ipynb notebook or the net.get_gateway() function call.

I’m using the “default 08/22/2023” JupyterHub environment, with these package versions:

FABNetv4Ext establishment is working, but I’m see connectivity issues to many destinations.

The STAR outage seems to be affecting the creation of FABNetv4Ext networks. It seems that the control software is trying to access the STAR switch and it times out. This occurs even if the node is in WASH site where the FABNetv4Ext peering connection exists.

The control software should choose alternate paths to reach the peering port. The control software should skip switches in maintenance, and attempt to re-apply the configuration when the maintenance mode is lifted.

Instead of having users add hosts entry (which would require changes in every level including inside containers), can the DNS64 server be configured to return this IP?

Is the NAT64 gateway being blocked by GitHub releases download server?

tcpdump of the transaction: https://cdn1.frocdn.ch/JTeh94VJIxkXv6P.pcap

• This reply was modified 1 year, 3 months ago by yoursunny.

[yoursunny]

I found an unintended consequence of enabling NAT64:

1. I sometimes want multiple slices to communicate with each other, while each slice can be re-deployed independently.
2. To do so, I’m using FABNetv4 network service, paired with an external domain name that supports dynamic updates.
3. When a “server” slice is re-deployed, it updates the domain name to point to its new FABNetv4 IP address.
4. Previously, this works well: the “client” slice can find the “server” slice by resolving the domain name.
5. Since NAT64 is deployed, the “client” slice would resolve both A and AAAA records on the domain name.
6. If the “client” software tries to connect to the IPv6 address in the AAAA records, it cannot reach the FABNetv4 destination.

My suggestion is to configure the DNS64 server so that it does not return AAAA records if the domain name resolves to an IPv4 address that is part of FABNetv4 or other RFC1918 address.

Please post your experiment script or notebook, as well as any commands you typed into SSH console.

Please describe what you expect to happen in a certain operation, and what actually happened.

Please post commands, outputs, error messages in textual format, not as pictures.

[yoursunny]

Yes, you can request public IPv4/IPv6 address with FABNetv4Ext/FABNetv6Ext network service:

Network Services in FABRIC

There are some examples in my FABRIC scripts repository:

https://github.com/yoursunny/fabric

[yoursunny]

If you think OpenVSwitch is causing problem, do not enable it.

NFD alone is capable of forwarding traffic between different nodes.

[yoursunny]

You are using persistent face in NFD:

face-created id=264 local=dev://ens7 remote=ether://[e8:eb:d3:81:b7:fe] persistency=persistent reliability=off congestion-marking=off congestion-marking-interval=100ms default-congestion-threshold=65536B mtu=1500

This kind of face would auto-close upon socket error.

My guess is that, the face experienced a socket error and thus automatically closed. You can confirm or reject the hypothesis by looking at nfdc face list command output and checking whether the face has disappeared.

[yoursunny]

Please upload your experiment notebook.

If you typed commands into the SSH terminals to set up NDN software, please also describe exactly which commands were typed, and paste the output of each command.

[yoursunny]

The infrastructure problem seems to be resolving.
The second error (“actual result 2”) is no longer occurring.

The first error (“actual result 1”) seems to be a fablib bug and it still occurs.

[yoursunny]

paramiko.ssh_exception.AuthenticationException: Authentication failed.

This suggests that fablib cannot connect to either the bastion or the node via SSH.
It has nothing to do with FABNetv4Ext.

ssh ${Username}@${Management IP}

This suggests that your fabric_rc file is outdated.
You need to rerun the configure.ipynb notebook.

I tried my usual script of acquiring public IPv4 address, operating on behalf of a project that has the Net.FABNetv4Ext permission.
https://github.com/yoursunny/fabric/tree/5d434c3117314730a9ab38ffd4eefcab70f13779/ipv4 , see v4pub.py and demo-v4pub.py.
It works correctly and can acquire public IPv4 addresses for nodes that need it.

However, I’m having trouble with FABRIC’s jupyter-examples.
https://github.com/fabric-testbed/jupyter-examples/blob/rel1.4.5/fabric_examples/beta_functionality/rel1.4/create_l3network_fabnet_ext.ipynb
(I commented out the UKY line)

For both networks defined in the notebook, get_subnet() returns None.
Consequently, “Update Network Service – Enable/Disable Public IP Addresses” failed with error:

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable
