Dependencies
- linux (>= 3.16 for all features or >= 3.13 for basic features)
- golang (>= 1.5)
- lxd
Kernel
The simulation is intended to run inside nested unprivileged LXC
containers. As a result, a kernel with full support for unprivileged
containers is required, that is any kernel >= 3.13 with all the options
required by LXC enabled (see lxc-checkconfig).
Additionally, unprivileged qdisc operations requires a >= 3.16 kernel to
work, so if you want to get the simulated latencies and speeds, you need
to run a very recent kernel.
Starting the whole thing
This tool is meant to be run on a machine or inside a container on which
a LXD daemon is running.
First build it with:
- go get -v -x github.com/nsec/the-internet
Creating an Internet simulation is basically as simple as:
- the-internet create <path>
- the-internet start
Generate an html/js map of your Internet with:
- the-internet generate-map <destination path>
You can stop the simulation with:
- the-internet stop
Or create a new one by calling the start command again.
Finally, once you want it all off your disk, you can call:
- the-internet destroy
