The X-Bone

 

Routing

Manual overlay setup and teardown requires manual configuration of the interfaces and routing tables on all participating machines. Such configuration does not scale well to an overlay that includes a large number of machines or a diverse set of operating systems and routing packages. X-Bone automates the routing process, auto-detecting the routing package and hiding the configuration details from the user.
X-Bone differentiates overlays by assigning a contiguous range of addresses to each overlay. By limiting the routing of overlay addresses, they can be privatized.
