Class VirtualPublicHosts

java.lang.Object

org.onosproject.virtualbng.VirtualPublicHosts

public class VirtualPublicHosts
extends Object

When the upstream gateway which is outside local SDN network wants to send packets to our local public IP addresses, it will send out ARP requests to get the MAC address of each public IP address. Actually, there are no hosts configured with those public IP addresses, so this class is to emulate the behavior of the non-existed hosts and return ARP replies.

Since we will rewrite the destination MAC address in the switch before traffic packets go to the destination, so the MAC address can be any number. We manually configured a random MAC address for this purpose in the vBNG configuration file.
