This port installs the GUI frontend for the XBone. The GUI is written
|
||
|
|
as a set of XML pages and required Apache web server to run. The
|
||
|
|
following is a detailed description of the XBone taken from XBone
|
||
|
|
port.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The X-Bone dynamically deploys and manages Internet overlays to reduce
|
||
|
|
configuration effort and increase network component sharing. The
|
||
|
|
X-Bone discovers, configures, and monitors network resources to create
|
||
|
|
overlays over existing IP networks. Overlays are useful for deploying
|
||
|
|
overlapping virtual networks on shared infrastructure and for
|
||
|
|
simplifying topology.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The X-Bone's two-layer IP in IP tunneled overlays support existing
|
||
|
|
applications and unmodified routing, multicast, and DNS services in
|
||
|
|
unmodified host operating systems. This two-layer scheme uniquely
|
||
|
|
supports node revisitation and recursive overlays, which is critical
|
||
|
|
for fault tolerance and dynamic relocation. The X-Bone uses multicast
|
||
|
|
to simplify resource discovery, and provides secure deployment as well
|
||
|
|
as secure overlays (VPNs).
