|

During the Network and Endpoints lifecyle the CNM model controls the ip address assignment for network and endpoint interfaces via the IPAM driver(s).
|
||||
Libnetwork has a default, built-in ipam driver and allows third party ipam drivers to be dinamically plugged. On network creation user can specify which ipam driver libnetwork needs to use for the network's ip address management. Current document explains the APIs with which IPAM driver needs to comply and the corresponding HTTPS request/response body relevant for remote drivers.

## Remote IPAM driver

|

On the same line of remote network driver registration (see [remote.md] for more details), Libnetwork initializes the `ipams.remote` package with the `Init()` function, it passes a `ipamapi.Callback` as a parameter, which implements `RegisterOpamDriver()`. The remote driver package uses this interface to register remote drivers with Libnetwork's `NetworkController`, by supplying it in a `plugins.Handle` callback. The remote drivers register and communicate with libnetwork via the Docker plugin package. The `ipams.remote` provides the proxy for the remote driver processes.

## IPAM Configuration and flow
|
||||
|
||||
The following sections explain the each of the above API's semantic, when they are called during network/endpoint lyfecyle and the correspondent payload for remote driver HTTP request/responses.
|
||||
A libnetwork user can provide IPAM related configuration when creating a network, via the `NetworkOptionIpam` setter function.
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
func NetworkOptionIpam(ipamDriver string, addrSpace string, ipV4 []*IpamConf, ipV6 []*IpamConf) NetworkOption
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Ipam Configuration and flow
|
||||
|
||||
Libnetwork user can provide ipam related configuration when creating a network, via the `NetworkOptionIpam` setter function.
|
||||
|
||||
`func NetworkOptionIpam(ipamDriver string, addrSpace string, ipV4 []*IpamConf, ipV6 []*IpamConf) NetworkOption`
|
||||
|
||||
Caller has to provide the ipam driver name and may provide the address space and a list of `IpamConf` structures for ipv4 and a list for ipv6. The ipam driver name is the only mandatory field. If not provided, network creation will fail.
|
||||
The caller has to provide the IPAM driver name and may provide the address space and a list of `IpamConf` structures for IPv4 and a list for IPv6. The IPAM driver name is the only mandatory field. If not provided, network creation will fail.
|
||||
|
||||
In the list of configurations, each element has the following form:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// IpamConf contains all the ipam related configurations for a network
|
||||
type IpamConf struct {
|
||||
// The master address pool for containers and network interfaces
|
||||
PreferredPool string
|
||||
// A subset of the master pool. If specified,
|
||||
// this becomes the container pool
|
||||
SubPool string
|
||||
// Input options for IPAM Driver (optional)
|
||||
Options map[string]string
|
||||
// Preferred Network Gateway address (optional)
|
||||
Gateway string
|
||||
// Auxiliary addresses for network driver. Must be within the master pool.
|
||||
// libnetwork will reserve them if they fall into the container pool
|
||||
AuxAddresses map[string]string
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
// IpamConf contains all the ipam related configurations for a network
|
||||
type IpamConf struct {
|
||||
// The master address pool for containers and network interfaces
|
||||
PreferredPool string
|
||||
// A subset of the master pool. If specified,
|
||||
// this becomes the container pool
|
||||
SubPool string
|
||||
// Input options for IPAM Driver (optional)
|
||||
Options map[string]string
|
||||
// Preferred Network Gateway address (optional)
|
||||
Gateway string
|
||||
// Auxiliary addresses for network driver. Must be within the master pool.
|
||||
// libnetwork will reserve them if they fall into the container pool
|
||||
AuxAddresses map[string]string
|
||||
}
|
||||
On network creation, libnetwork will iterate the list and perform the following requests to the IPAM driver:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Request the address pool and pass the options along via `RequestPool()`.
|
||||
2. Request the network gateway address if specified. Otherwise request any address from the pool to be used as network gateway. This is done via `RequestAddress()`.
|
||||
3. Request each of the specified auxiliary addresses via `RequestAddress()`.
|
||||
|
||||
On network creation, libnetwork will iterate the list and perform the following requests to ipam driver:
|
||||
1) Request the address pool and pass the options along via `RequestPool()`.
|
||||
2) Request the network gateway address if specified. Otherwise request any address from the pool to be used as network gateway. This is done via `RequestAddress()`.
|
||||
3) Request each of the specified auxiliary addresses via `RequestAddress()`.
|
||||
|
||||
If the list of ipv4 configurations is empty, libnetwork will automatically add one empty `IpamConf` structure. This will cause libnetwork to request ipam driver an ipv4 address pool of the driver choice on the configured address space, if specified, or on the ipam driver default address space otherwise. If the ipam driver is not able to provide an address pool, network creation will fail.
|
||||
If the list of ipv6 configurations is empty, libnetwork will not take any action.
|
||||
The data retrieved from the ipam driver during the execution of point 1) to 3) will be stored in the network structure as a list of `IpamInfo` structures for IPv6 and for IPv6.
|
||||
If the list of IPv4 configurations is empty, libnetwork will automatically add one empty `IpamConf` structure. This will cause libnetwork to request IPAM driver an IPv4 address pool of the driver's choice on the configured address space, if specified, or on the IPAM driver default address space otherwise. If the IPAM driver is not able to provide an address pool, network creation will fail.
|
||||
If the list of IPv6 configurations is empty, libnetwork will not take any action.
|
||||
The data retrieved from the IPAM driver during the execution of point 1) to 3) will be stored in the network structure as a list of `IpamInfo` structures for IPv6 and for IPv6.
|
||||
|
||||
On endpoint creation, libnetwork will iterate over the list of configs and perform the following operation:
|
||||
1) Request an IPv4 address from the ipv4 pool and assign it to the endpoint interface ipv4 address. If successful, stop iterating.
|
||||
2) Request an IPv6 address from the ipv6 pool (if exists) and assign it to the endpoint interface ipv6 address. If successful, stop iterating.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Request an IPv4 address from the IPv4 pool and assign it to the endpoint interface IPv4 address. If successful, stop iterating.
|
||||
2. Request an IPv6 address from the IPv6 pool (if exists) and assign it to the endpoint interface IPv6 address. If successful, stop iterating.
|
||||
|
||||
Endpoint creation will fail if any of the above operation does not succeed
|
||||
|
||||
On endpoint deletion, libnetwork will perform the following operations:
|
||||
1) Release the endpoint interface IPv4 address
|
||||
2) Release the endpoint interface IPv6 address if present
|
||||
|
||||
On Network deletion libnetwork will iterate the list of `IpamData` structures and perform the following requests to ipam driver:
|
||||
1) Release the network gateway address via `ReleaseAddress()`
|
||||
2) Release each of the auxiliary addresses via `ReleaseAddress()`
|
||||
3) Release the pool via `ReleasePool()`
|
||||
1. Release the endpoint interface IPv4 address
|
||||
2. Release the endpoint interface IPv6 address if present
|
||||
|
||||
On network deletion, libnetwork will iterate the list of `IpamData` structures and perform the following requests to ipam driver:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Release the network gateway address via `ReleaseAddress()`
|
||||
2. Release each of the auxiliary addresses via `ReleaseAddress()`
|
||||
3. Release the pool via `ReleasePool()`
|
||||
|
||||
### GetDefaultAddressSpaces
|
||||
|
||||
GetDefaultAddressSpaces returns the default local and global address space names for this ipam. An address space is a set of non-overlapping address pools isolated from other address spaces' pools. In other words, same pool can exist on N different address spaces. An address space naturally maps to a tenant name.
|
||||
In libnetwork the meaning associated to `local` or `global` address space is that a local address space doesn't need to get synchronized across the
|
||||
cluster where as the global address spaces does. Unless specified otherwise in the ipam configuration, libnetwork will request address pools from the default local or default global address space based on the scope of the network being created. For example, if not specified otherwise in the configuration, libnetwork will request address pool from the default local address space for a bridge network, whereas from the default global address space for an overlay network.
