Hi Group, thanks for your work on emulab. I’m planning to build up an environment with 80 nodes each
running 2 x Core 2 Quad. To get a feeling of how things work with an emulab, I
setup an account at emulab.net and tried some experiments. What I’m especially interested in are virtual nodes as
we plan to emulate topologies with up to thousands of (virtual) nodes with up
to ten links per node. I’ve seen that emulab maps veth interfaces to
physical interfaces one-by-one. This limits scaling dramatically. Is it
possible to declare a link to use vlan-tags and let the switch configure
multiple vlans on a single port, so we can use, let’s say 100 virtual interfaces
on 5 physical network interfaces? Best regards, Sebastian ---- Sebastian
