<div dir="ltr"><div>Alright, the UISP side of the common integrations is pretty much feature complete. I'll update the tracking issue in a bit.</div><div><ul><li>Per your suggestion, devices with no IP addresses (v4 or v6) are not added.</li><li>Mikrotik "4 to 6" mapping is implemented. I put it in the "common" side of things, so it can be used in other integrations also. I don't have a setup on which to test it, but if I'm reading the code right then the unit test is testing it appropriately.</li><li>excludeSites is supported as a common API feature. If a node is added with a name that matches an excluded site, it won't be added. The tree builder is smart enough to replace invalid "parentId" references with the shaper root, so if you have other tree items that rely on this site - they will be added to the tree. Was that the intent? (It looks pretty useful; we have a child site down the tree with a HUGE amount of load, and bumping it to the top-level with excludeSites would probably help our load balancing quite a bit)</li><ul><li>If the intent was to exclude the site and everything underneath it, I'd have to rework things a bit. Let me know; it wasn't quite clear.<br></li></ul><li>exceptionCPEs is also supported as a common API feature. It simply overrides the "parentId'' of incoming nodes with the new parent. Another potentially useful feature; if I got excludeSites the wrong away around, I'd add a "my_big_site":"" entry to push it to the top.</li><li>UISP integration now supports a "flat" topology option (set via uispStrategy = "flat" in ispConfig). I expanded <a href="http://ispConfig.example.py">ispConfig.example.py</a> to include this entry.<br></li></ul><div>I'll look and see how much of the Spylnx code I can shorten with the new API; I don't have a Spylnx setup to test against, making that tricky. I <i>think</i> the new API should shorten things a lot. I think routers act as node parents, with clients underneath them? Otherwise, a "flat" setup should be a little shorter (the CSV code can be replaced with a call to the graph builder). Most of the Spylnx (and VISP) users I've talked to layer MPLS+VPLS to pretend to have a big, flat network and then connect via a RADIUS call in the DHCP server; I've always assumed that's because those systems prefer the telecom model of "pretend everything is equal" to trying to model topology.*<br></div><div><br></div><div>I need to clean things up a bit (there's still a bit of duplicated code, and I believe in the DRY principle - don't repeat yourself; Dave Thomas - my boss at PragProg - coined the term in The Pragmatic Programmer, and I feel obliged to use it everywhere!), and do a quick rebase (I accidentally parented the branch off of a branch instead of main) - but I think I can have this as a PR for you on Monday.</div><div><br></div><div>* - The first big wireless network I setup used a Motorola WiMAX setup. They <i>required</i> that every single AP share two VLANs (management and bearer) with every other AP - all the way to the core. It kinda worked once they remembered client isolation was a thing in a patch... Then again, their installation instructions included connecting two ports of a router together with a jumper cable, because their localhost implementation didn't quite work. :-|<br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Oct 28, 2022 at 4:15 PM Robert Chacón <<a href="mailto:robert.chacon@jackrabbitwireless.com">robert.chacon@jackrabbitwireless.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Awesome work.

I'm trying to build a "common grammar" to make it easier to express network layout from integrations; that would be another form/layer of integration and a lot easier to work with once there's a solid foundation. Preseem does some of this (admittedly over-eagerly; nothing needs to query SNMP that often!), and the SNMP route is quite remarkably convoluted. Their support turned on a few "extra" modules to deal with things like PMP450 clients that change MAC when you put them in bridge mode vs NAT mode (and report the bridge mode CPE in some places either way), Elevate CPEs that almost but not quite make sense.

Ideally though, pulling something from SNMP or router APIs etc to build the paths, but having a 'network elements' list with each of the links described. ie, backhaul 12 has MACs ..01 and ...02 at 300x100 and then build the topology around that from discovery. <br><br>I've also thought about doing routine trace routes or watching TTLs or something like that to get some indication that topology has changed and then do another discovery and potential tree rebuild. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Oct 27, 2022 at 3:48 PM Robert Chacón via LibreQoS <<a href="mailto:libreqos@lists.bufferbloat.net" target="_blank">libreqos@lists.bufferbloat.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>This is awesome!

It's not done yet, but the basics are coming together nicely. You can see my progress so far at: <a href="https://github.com/thebracket/LibreQoS/tree/integration-common-graph" target="_blank">https://github.com/thebracket/LibreQoS/tree/integration-common-graph</a></div><div><br></div><div>Our UISP instance is a <i>great</i> testcase for torturing the system.

We have:</div><div><ul><li>Non Ubiquiti devices as "other devices"</li><li>Sections that need shaping by subnet (e.g. "all of <a href="http://192.168.1.0/24" target="_blank">192.168.1.0/24</a> shared 100 mbit")</li><li>Bridge mode devices using Option 82 to always allocate the same IP, with a "service IP" entry</li><li>Various bits of infrastructure mapped</li><li>Sites that go to client sites, which go to other client sites</li></ul><div>In other words, over the years we've unleashed a bit of a monster. Cleaning it up is a useful talk, but I wanted the integration to be able to handle pathological cases like us!</div><div><br></div><div>So I fed our network into the current graph generator, and used graphviz to spit out a directed graph:</div><div><img src="cid:ii_l9rkwmjp0" alt="image.png" width="558" height="426"><br></div><div>That doesn't include client sites! Legend:</div><div><br></div><div><ul><li>Green = the root site.</li><li>Red = a site</li><li>Blue = an access point</li><li>Magenta = a client site that has children</li></ul><div>So the part in "common" is designed heavily to reduce repetition. When it's done, you should be able to feed in sites, APs, clients, devices, etc. in a pretty flexible manner. Given how much code is shared between the UISP and Splynx integration code, I'm pretty sure both will be cut to a tiny fraction of the total code. :-)</div><div><br></div><div>I can't post the full tree, it's full of client names.<br></div></div></div></div>
