Docker application with INET

[zopfbit]

Hello, I'm new to INET and would be interest what the community would recommend.

I would like to have docker application in a separate Docker environment alongside an INET-based simulation. Target architecture places the application and the INET simulation in distinct layers.

Approaches what I thought about is using socket-based link between the application containers and a proxy implemented as a custom INET StandardHost.

I would also be interest, whether I can use the stuff from the emulation showcase.

Exists there already comparable experiments or demonstrations already?

Take a look at the babeld emulation showcase

It does exactly this, except it does not use docker but rather handles and creates network namespaces internally. It means that it runs the application in a less isolated environment (i.e. you have to install the necessary files and application on the HOST system, but the network namespace is separate) You can launch multiple application, each with a different IP address.

Okay. I would like to add a AODV Network in the third layer. Would you write your custom INET node or is there a easier way, to approach this?
