The X-Bone is a system for the dynamic depoloyment and management of
overlay networks. It consists of the following components:
- Resource Daemon - running on an overlay host, a host-based overlay
router, or as a dynamic DNS for the overlay
- Overlay Manager
- Web GUI
To install the X-Bone, use the following: (see also the FAQ)

- (1) - FreeBSD/CAIRN requires manual installation of dependent components.
The 2.2.x ports are no longer supported by FreeBSD; manual installation
is required for those components. Additionally, CAIRN redefines the
OS release name outside the conventional strings used by FreeBSD (uname
-r), some components (e.g., OpenSSL) require overrides to install.
- (2) - FreeBSD 3.x requires ip-tun to support IPIP encapsulation.
ip-tun is a user-level implementation of IPIP tunnels developed by the
X-Bone group, and is installed as a dependency.
Update: ip-tun is no longer supported. Please upgrade
your FreeBSD and X-Bone to more recent versions or apply KAME patches.
- (3) - PAO patches may also be included; the X-Bone has been tested
with these patches installed as well.
- (4) - FreeBSD 4.0 is not supported by v1.2; a new release is expected
soon. The primary issues are 1) proper detection of the OS type, (fixed
in v1.3) 2) updating the X-Bone's configuration of dependent components,
where these components have changed in 4.0, (fixed in v1.3) and 3) a
persisting bug in the IPSEC's 'setkey' command (requiring a patch from
KAME, which is not yet available).
- (5) - Linux RedHat 6.0/6.1 require a kernel patch to support multiple
IPIP tunnel headers. This patch,
developed by the X-Bone group, is available here. This directory also
includes convenient rpms of Apache+SSL
and Perl Net::SSLeay
- (6) The X-Bone 1.2 release is being tested under 4.0, and an update
(v1.3) is expected by the end of June 2000.
- (7) This was tested and confirmed on 3/17/00, just after the 1.2
release. The 1.2 release works as-is.
The system supports IPsec as indicated on the following operating systems:
|
FreeBSD
CAIRN 2.5 |
FreeBSD 3.x |
FreeBSD 3.x
+ KAME IPsec |
FreeBSD 4.x |
Linux
RedHat 6.0 |
Linux
RedHat 6.0
+ NIST IPsec |
Linux
RedHat 6.1 |
| supports IPSEC |
YES
(except 3DES) (8) |
NO |
YES |
NO (9) |
NO |
YES |
NO |
- (8) FreeBSD/CAIRN IPsec 3DES does not currently interoperate with
FreeBSD/KAME or Linux/NIST
IPSEC.
- (9) There is a bug in the 4.0 RELEASE version of 'setkey' which prevents
individual keys from being deleted. This should work correctly when
the next IPSEC bugfix is released; it affects ONLY IPSEC'd overlays.
