Shared types for fcnet, the Firecracker networking solution
Documentation

fcnet-types

The fcnet-types crate provides a stable set of configuration types for a Firecracker microVM network:

  • FirecrackerNetwork
  • FirecrackerNetworkType
  • FirecrackerIpStack (IPv4, IPv6, dual-stack)
  • FirecrackerNetworkOperation (add, delete, check)

In order to actually perform FirecrackerNetworkOperations over a FirecrackerNetwork, you'll need a concrete implementation that depends on fcnet-types:

  • fcnet is a lib-crate that is a full implementation and is linked into your binary and functions within your application process at the downside of your application needing root permissions.
  • fcnetd-client is a lib-crate connects to a rootful process running the fcnetd bin-crate, which is a daemon that wraps fcnet behind either a Unix or TCP/IP socket that can be connected to in order to perform requests.
