P4 Switch + Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) example

[Topology]

 

H1-s1-H2

     |

     H3

 

 

In this lab, I will run a DPI application on H3 (go-dpi example). H2 will run a HTTP server (but not at 80 port). H1 will use curl to get the webpage from H2. When the packet go through the S1, the packet will clone a copy and send it to H3 for Deep Packet Inspection. When H3 detects that this is a HTTP protocol packet, H3 will send a rule to s1 to block any packet to H2 HTTP server port.

 

Before that, please refer to https://github.com/mushorg/go-dpi to install go-dpi in your environment.

Also, remember to use 2 network cards in your environment. If you are using VirtualBox or VMware, please set these two NICs to NAT mode.

[Execution]

Check whether there are two NICs in your VM. The IP in my VM is 192.168.25.180.

Rename eth1 to eth10.

 

Start the emulation.

 

Open another terminal to set up the rules for p1.

 

Use xterm to open terminals for h1,h2,h3

 

In h3, use the dhclient eth10 to get the IP address for eth10.

 

Run example_app

 

Ping test.

 

First HTTP Test

 

Second HTTP Test (We can see that h1 cannot get any response from h2)
