Managing GoBGP with Your Favorite Language

This page explains how to managing GoBGP with your favorite Language. You can use any language supported by gRPC (10 languages are supported now). This page gives an example in Python, Ruby, C++, Node.js, and Java. It assumes that you use Ubuntu 14.04 (64bit).

Contents

Python

We need to install ProtocolBuffers and gRPC libraries.

Install ProtocolBuffers:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y build-essential autoconf git libtool unzip
$ mkdir ~/work
$ cd ~/work
$ wget https://github.com/google/protobuf/archive/v3.0.0-beta-1.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf v3.0.0-beta-1.tar.gz
$ cd protobuf-3.0.0-beta-1
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ vi ~/.bashrc
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

please check the version.

$ protoc --version
libprotoc 3.0.0

Install gRPC:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y python-all-dev python-virtualenv
$ cd ~/work
$ git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc.git
$ cd grpc
$ git checkout -b release-0_11_1 release-0_11_1
$ git submodule update --init
$ make
$ sudo make install

Install Python Libraries:

Install python libraries for protobuf and gRPC. Please use virtualenv if you want to keep your environment clean. In this example we create venv directory at $HOME/venv.

$ virtualenv ~/venv
$ source ~/venv/bin/activate
$ cd ~/work/protobuf-3.0.0-beta-1/python
$ python setup.py install
$ cd ~/work/grpc/src/python/grpcio/
$ python setup.py install
$ deactivate

Generating Stub Code

We need to generate stub code GoBGP at first.

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/tools/grpc/python
$ GOBGP_API=$GOPATH/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/api
$ protoc  -I $GOBGP_API --python_out=. --grpc_out=. --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc=`which grpc_python_plugin` $GOBGP_API/gobgp.proto

Get Neighbor

Here is an example for getting neighbor's information and we assumed that it's created in 'get_neighbor.py' under '$GOPATH/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/tools/grpc/python'.

import gobgp_pb2
import sys

from grpc.beta import implementations

_TIMEOUT_SECONDS = 10


def run(gobgpd_addr, neighbor_addr):
    channel = implementations.insecure_channel(gobgpd_addr, 50051)
    with gobgp_pb2.beta_create_GobgpApi_stub(channel) as stub:
        peer = stub.GetNeighbor(gobgp_pb2.Arguments(rf=4, name=neighbor_addr), _TIMEOUT_SECONDS)
        print("BGP neighbor is %s, remote AS %d" % (peer.conf.neighbor_address, peer.conf.peer_as))
        print("  BGP version 4, remote router ID %s" % (peer.conf.id))
        print("  BGP state = %s, up for %s" % (peer.info.bgp_state, peer.timers.state.uptime))
        print("  BGP OutQ = %d, Flops = %d" % (peer.info.out_q, peer.info.flops))
        print("  Hold time is %d, keepalive interval is %d seconds" % (peer.timers.state.negotiated_hold_time, peer.timers.state.keepalive_interval))
        print("  Configured hold time is %d, keepalive interval is %d seconds" % (peer.timers.config.hold_time, peer.timers.config.keepalive_interval))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    gobgp = sys.argv[1]
    neighbor = sys.argv[2]
    run(gobgp, neighbor)

We need to import gobgp_pb2 and call 'beta_create_GobgpApi_stub' in your code.

Let's run this script.

$ source ~/venv/bin/activate
(venv)$ python get_neighbor.py 10.0.255.1 10.0.0.1
BGP neighbor is 10.0.0.1, remote AS 65001
  BGP version 4, remote router ID 192.168.0.1
  BGP state = BGP_FSM_ESTABLISHED, up for 9042
  BGP OutQ = 0, Flops = 0
  Hold time is 30, keepalive interval is 10 seconds
  Configured hold time is 30, keepalive interval is 10 seconds

We got the neighbor information successfully.

Ruby

Install ProtoBuffers:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y build-essential curl git m4 ruby autoconf libtool unzip
$ mkdir ~/work
$ cd ~/work
$ wget https://github.com/google/protobuf/archive/v3.0.0-beta-1.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf v3.0.0-beta-1.tar.gz
$ cd protobuf-3.0.0-beta-1
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ vi ~/.bashrc
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

Installing gRPC and Ruby Libraries

$ command curl -sSL https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc | gpg --import -
$ \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby=ruby-2
$ source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm
$ rvm install 2.1
$ gem install bundler
$ cd ~/work/
$ git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc.git
$ cd grpc
$ git checkout -b release-0_11_1 release-0_11_1
$ git submodule update --init
$ $ make
$ $ sudo make install
$ cd src/ruby/
$ gem build grpc.gemspec
$ bundle install
$ gem install -l grpc-0.11.0.gem

Generating Stub Code

We need to generate stub code GoBGP at first.

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/tools/grpc/ruby
$ GOBGP_API=$GOPATH/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/api
$ protoc  -I $GOBGP_API --ruby_out=. --grpc_out=. --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc=`which grpc_ruby_plugin` $GOBGP_API/gobgp.proto

Get Neighbor

Here is an example for getting neighbor's information.

require 'gobgp'
require 'gobgp_services'

host = 'localhost'
host = ARGV[0] if ARGV.length > 0

stub = Gobgpapi::GobgpApi::Stub.new("#{host}:50051")
arg = Gobgpapi::Arguments.new()
stub.get_neighbors(arg).each do |n|
    puts "BGP neighbor is #{n.conf.neighbor_address}, remote AS #{n.conf.peer_as}"
    puts "\tBGP version 4, remote route ID #{n.conf.id}"
    puts "\tBGP state = #{n.info.bgp_state}, up for #{n.timers.state.uptime}"
    puts "\tBGP OutQ = #{n.info.out_q}, Flops = #{n.info.flops}"
    puts "\tHold time is #{n.timers.state.hold_time}, keepalive interval is #{n.timers.state.keepalive_interval} seconds"
    puts "\tConfigured hold time is #{n.timers.config.hold_time}"
end

Let's run this script.

$ruby -I . ./get_neighbors.rb
BGP neighbor is 192.168.10.2, remote AS 65001
    BGP version 4, remote route ID <nil>
    BGP state = BGP_FSM_ACTIVE, up for 0
    BGP OutQ = 0, Flops = 0
    Hold time is 0, keepalive interval is 0 seconds
    Configured hold time is 90
BGP neighbor is 192.168.10.3, remote AS 65001
    BGP version 4, remote route ID <nil>
    BGP state = BGP_FSM_ACTIVE, up for 0
    BGP OutQ = 0, Flops = 0
    Hold time is 0, keepalive interval is 0 seconds
    Configured hold time is 90

C++

For gRPC we need so much dependencies, please make coffee and be ready!

Install ProtoBuffers:

apt-get update
apt-get install -y gcc make autoconf automake git libtool g++ curl

cd /usr/src
wget https://github.com/google/protobuf/archive/v3.0.0-alpha-4.tar.gz
tar -xf v3.0.0-alpha-4.tar.gz
cd protobuf-3.0.0-alpha-4/
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/opt/protobuf_3.0.0_alpha4
make -j 4
make install

Install gRPC:

apt-get update
apt-get install -y gcc make autoconf automake git libtool g++ python-all-dev python-virtualenv

cd /usr/src/
git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc.git
cd grpc
# We are using specific commit because gRPC is under heavy development right now
git checkout e5cdbea1530a99a95fd3d032e7d69a19c61a0d16
git submodule update --init
make -j 4
make install prefix=/opt/grpc

We use .so compilation with golang, please use only 1.5 or newer version of Go Lang.

Clone this repository and build API example:

export PATH="$PATH:/opt//grpc/bin:/opt/protobuf_3.0.0_alpha4/bin/"

cd /usr/src
git clone https://github.com/osrg/gobgp.git
cd gobgp/gobgp/lib
go build -buildmode=c-shared -o libgobgp.so *.go
cp libgobgp.h /usr/src/gobgp/tools/grpc/cpp
cp libgobgp.so /usr/src/gobgp/tools/grpc/cpp
cp /usr/src/gobgp/api/gobgp.proto /usr/src/gobgp/tools/grpc/cpp/gobgp_api_client.proto
cd /usr/src/gobgp/tools/grpc/cpp
make

Let's run it:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".:/opt/grpc/lib:/opt/protobuf_3.0.0_alpha4/lib" ./gobgp_api_client

Node.js

Build from source code because there is no official gRPC package for Ubuntu 14.04. (Debian Linux and Mac OSX are much easier. See the document)

Install Protocol Buffers:

Install protobuf v3.0.0-beta before gRPC. gRPC installation process will try to do it automatically but fail. (Probably because it tries another version of protobuf)

See installation document.

$ [sudo] apt-get install unzip autoconf libtool build-essential

$ wget https://github.com/google/protobuf/archive/v3.0.0-beta-4.tar.gz
$ tar zxvf v3.0.0-beta-4.tar.gz
$ cd protobuf-3.0.0-beta-4/
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ [sudo] make install

Install gRPC:

$ [sudo] apt-get install git

$ git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc.git
$ cd grpc
$ git submodule update --init
$ make 
$ [sudo] make install

Install Node.js gRPC library:

Let's say Node.js is already installed,

npm install grpc

Example

Copy protocol definition.

cp $GOPATH/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/api/gobgp.proto .

Here is an example to show neighbor information.

var grpc = require('grpc');
var api = grpc.load('gobgp.proto').gobgpapi;
var stub = new api.GobgpApi('localhost:50051', grpc.credentials.createInsecure());

stub.getNeighbor({}, function(err, neighbor) {
  neighbor.peers.forEach(function(peer) {
    if(peer.info.bgp_state == 'BGP_FSM_ESTABLISHED') {
      var date = new Date(Number(peer.timers.state.uptime)*1000);
      var holdtime = peer.timers.state.negotiated_hold_time;
      var keepalive = peer.timers.state.keepalive_interval;
    }

    console.log('BGP neighbor:', peer.conf.neighbor_address,
                ', remote AS:', peer.conf.peer_as);
    console.log("\tBGP version 4, remote router ID:", peer.conf.id);
    console.log("\tBGP state:", peer.info.bgp_state,
                ', uptime:', date);
    console.log("\tBGP OutQ:", peer.info.out_q,
                ', Flops:', peer.info.flops);
    console.log("\tHold time:", holdtime,
                ', keepalive interval:', keepalive, 'seconds');
    console.log("\tConfigured hold time:", peer.timers.config.hold_time);
  });
});

Let's run this:

BGP neighbor: 10.0.255.1 , remote AS: 65001
        BGP version 4, remote router ID: 10.0.255.1
        BGP state: BGP_FSM_ESTABLISHED , uptime: Wed Jul 20 2016 05:37:22 GMT+0900 (JST)
        BGP OutQ: 0 , Flops: 0
        Hold time: 90 , keepalive interval: 30 seconds
        Configured hold time: 90
BGP neighbor: 10.0.255.2 , remote AS: 65002
        BGP version 4, remote router ID: <nil>
        BGP state: BGP_FSM_ACTIVE , uptime: undefined
        BGP OutQ: 0 , Flops: 0
        Hold time: undefined , keepalive interval: undefined seconds
        Configured hold time: 90

Java

We can make a client in Java using grpc-java.

Install JDK:

We need to install JDK and we use Oracle JDK8 in this example.

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_72"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_72-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.72-b15, mixed mode)
$ echo "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle" >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc

Install ProtocolBuffers:

We use v3.0.0 beta2.

$ sudo apt-get install -y build-essential autoconf git libtool unzip
$ mkdir ~/work
$ cd ~/work
$ wget https://github.com/google/protobuf/archive/v3.0.0-beta-2.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf v3.0.0-beta-2.tar.gz
$ cd protobuf-3.0.0-beta-2
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib" >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc

Please check the version.

$ protoc --version
libprotoc 3.0.0

Create protobuf library for Java:

$ sudo apt-get install maven
$ cd ~/work/protobuf-3.0.0-beta-2/java
$ mvn package

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/tools/grpc
$ mkdir -p java/src
$ cd java
$ GOBGP_API=$GOPATH/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/api
$ protoc --java_out=./src --proto_path="$GOBGP_API" $GOBGP_API/gobgp.proto

$ ls ./src/gobgpapi/
Gobgp.java  GobgpApiGrpc.java

Create your own client and build it:

$ cd ~/go/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/tools/grpc/java
$ mkdir -p src/gobgp/example
$ cd src/gobgp/example
$ vi GobgpSampleClient.java
package gobgp.example;

public class GobgpSampleClient {

    private final GobgpApiGrpc.GobgpApiBlockingStub blockingStub;

    public GobgpSampleClient(String host, int port) {
        ManagedChannel channel = ManagedChannelBuilder.forAddress(host, port).usePlaintext(true).build();
        this.blockingStub = GobgpApiGrpc.newBlockingStub(channel);
    }

    public void getNeighbors(){

        Gobgp.Arguments request = Gobgp.Arguments.newBuilder().build();

        for(Iterator<Gobgp.Peer> iterator = this.blockingStub.getNeighbors(request); iterator.hasNext(); ) {
            Gobgp.Peer p = iterator.next();
            Gobgp.PeerConf conf = p.getConf();
            Gobgp.PeerState state = p.getInfo();
            Gobgp.Timers timer = p.getTimers();

            System.out.printf("BGP neighbor is %s, remote AS %d\n", conf.getNeighborAddress(), conf.getPeerAs());
            System.out.printf("\tBGP version 4, remote router ID %s\n", conf.getId());
            System.out.printf("\tBGP state = %s, up for %d\n", state.getBgpState(), timer.getState().getUptime());
            System.out.printf("\tBGP OutQ = %d, Flops = %d\n", state.getOutQ(), state.getFlops());
            System.out.printf("\tHold time is %d, keepalive interval is %d seconds\n",
                    timer.getState().getHoldTime(), timer.getState().getKeepaliveInterval());
            System.out.printf("\tConfigured hold time is %d\n", timer.getConfig().getHoldTime());

        }
    }

    public static void main(String args[]){
        new GobgpSampleClient(args[0], 8080).getNeighbors();
    }

}
