By using BGP, Cilium enables you to connect your Kubernetes cluster to your Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches. The main reason I needed containerlab was to test and document some of the recent BGP enhancements on Cilium.

Leverage topology models that others have built (as users can share theirs on version control systems like GitHub).

Use containers or virtual-machine to deploy your topology.

Leverage open source and commercial routing platforms.

Use a declarative approach by writing network topologies in YAML.

In many ways, Containerlab takes some of the best aspects of modern infrastructure deployment and applies them to networking. One that I have been really impressed with is Containerlab. I haven’t used GNS3 in many years so I am sure it has drastically improved.īut now that containerization is ubiquitous and there are some great open source routing platforms available, we have far more options available to us. I eventually moved to renting physical racks as I was spending as much time troubleshooting GNS3 as troubleshooting networks. It was pretty good but not always stable.

While studying for my CCIE, I remember using GNS3. There’s been many times in my career where I’ve wanted to build virtual networking labs – not just for testing network designs but primarily for learning.
