Custom fakeroute topologies

Important files

fakeroute explores successively the following directories until finding some valid configuration files:

./targets
~/.fakeroute/targets
/etc/fakeroute/targets

Write your own file(s) in one of these directories. The filename must respect the following pattern: <ip_address>-<description> where:

ip_address denotes a fakeroute destination that you can probe with a traceroute-like tool;
description is an arbitrary name.

Example: "1.1.1.1-asymlb".

Remark: It's important to follow this convention, otherwise the file is ignored by fakeroute.

`fakeroute` file format

The first line of your file should be:

#DESC Description of your network topology

Then, write one line per arc. An arc involves a source vertex (which may be either "start" or an IP address) and a target vertex (which may be "end" or an IP address) separated by a space character.

start stands for the node running traceroute measurements
end stands for the target node of the traceroute

Full example

# DESC Simple asymmetric load balancer
start 10.0.0.1
10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2
10.0.0.2 10.0.1.3
10.0.0.2 10.0.2.3
10.0.1.3 10.0.1.4
10.0.2.3 10.0.0.5
10.0.1.4 10.0.0.5
10.0.0.5 10.0.0.6
10.0.0.6 10.0.0.7
10.0.0.7 end
