# Managing GoBGP with Your Favorite Language

This page explains how to managing GoBGP with your favorite Language.
You can use any language supported by [gRPC](http://www.grpc.io/) (10
languages are supported now). This page gives an example in Python,
Ruby, C++, Node.js, and Java. It assumes that you use Ubuntu 14.04 (64bit).

## <a name="python"> Python

We need to install ProtocolBuffers and gRPC libraries.

### Install ProtocolBuffers:
```bash
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y build-essential autoconf git libtool unzip
$ mkdir ~/work
$ cd ~/work
$ wget https://github.com/google/protobuf/archive/v3.0.0-beta-1.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf v3.0.0-beta-1.tar.gz
$ cd protobuf-3.0.0-beta-1
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ vi ~/.bashrc
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
```

please check the version.
 ```bash
 $ protoc --version
 libprotoc 3.0.0
 ```

### Install gRPC:
```bash
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y python-all-dev python-virtualenv
$ cd ~/work
$ git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc.git
$ cd grpc
$ git checkout -b release-0_11_1 release-0_11_1
$ git submodule update --init
$ make
$ sudo make install
```

### Install Python Libraries:

Install python libraries for protobuf and gRPC.
Please use virtualenv if you want to keep your environment clean.
In this example we create venv directory at $HOME/venv.

```bash
$ virtualenv ~/venv
$ source ~/venv/bin/activate
$ cd ~/work/protobuf-3.0.0-beta-1/python
$ python setup.py install
$ cd ~/work/grpc/src/python/grpcio/
$ python setup.py install
$ deactivate
```

### Generating Stub Code

We need to generate stub code GoBGP at first.
```bash
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/tools/grpc/python
$ GOBGP_API=$GOPATH/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/api
$ protoc  -I $GOBGP_API --python_out=. --grpc_out=. --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc=`which grpc_python_plugin` $GOBGP_API/gobgp.proto
```

### Get Neighbor

Here is an example for getting neighbor's information and we assumed that it's created in 'get_neighbor.py' under '$GOPATH/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/tools/grpc/python'.
```python
import gobgp_pb2
import sys

from grpc.beta import implementations

_TIMEOUT_SECONDS = 10


def run(gobgpd_addr, neighbor_addr):
    channel = implementations.insecure_channel(gobgpd_addr, 50051)
    with gobgp_pb2.beta_create_GobgpApi_stub(channel) as stub:
        peer = stub.GetNeighbor(gobgp_pb2.Arguments(rf=4, name=neighbor_addr), _TIMEOUT_SECONDS)
        print("BGP neighbor is %s, remote AS %d" % (peer.conf.neighbor_address, peer.conf.peer_as))
        print("  BGP version 4, remote router ID %s" % (peer.conf.id))
        print("  BGP state = %s, up for %s" % (peer.info.bgp_state, peer.timers.state.uptime))
        print("  BGP OutQ = %d, Flops = %d" % (peer.info.out_q, peer.info.flops))
        print("  Hold time is %d, keepalive interval is %d seconds" % (peer.timers.state.negotiated_hold_time, peer.timers.state.keepalive_interval))
        print("  Configured hold time is %d, keepalive interval is %d seconds" % (peer.timers.config.hold_time, peer.timers.config.keepalive_interval))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    gobgp = sys.argv[1]
    neighbor = sys.argv[2]
    run(gobgp, neighbor)
```

We need to import gobgp_pb2 and call 'beta_create_GobgpApi_stub' in your code.

Let's run this script.

```bash
$ source ~/venv/bin/activate
(venv)$ python get_neighbor.py 10.0.255.1 10.0.0.1
BGP neighbor is 10.0.0.1, remote AS 65001
  BGP version 4, remote router ID 192.168.0.1
  BGP state = BGP_FSM_ESTABLISHED, up for 9042
  BGP OutQ = 0, Flops = 0
  Hold time is 30, keepalive interval is 10 seconds
  Configured hold time is 30, keepalive interval is 10 seconds

```

We got the neighbor information successfully.

## <a name="ruby"> Ruby

### Install ProtoBuffers:

```bash
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y build-essential curl git m4 ruby autoconf libtool unzip
$ mkdir ~/work
$ cd ~/work
$ wget https://github.com/google/protobuf/archive/v3.0.0-beta-1.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf v3.0.0-beta-1.tar.gz
$ cd protobuf-3.0.0-beta-1
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ vi ~/.bashrc
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
```

### Installing gRPC and Ruby Libraries

```bash
$ command curl -sSL https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc | gpg --import -
$ \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby=ruby-2
$ source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm
$ rvm install 2.1
$ gem install bundler
$ cd ~/work/
$ git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc.git
$ cd grpc
$ git checkout -b release-0_11_1 release-0_11_1
$ git submodule update --init
$ $ make
$ $ sudo make install
$ cd src/ruby/
$ gem build grpc.gemspec
$ bundle install
$ gem install -l grpc-0.11.0.gem
```

### Generating Stub Code

We need to generate stub code GoBGP at first.
```bash
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/tools/grpc/ruby
$ GOBGP_API=$GOPATH/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/api
$ protoc  -I $GOBGP_API --ruby_out=. --grpc_out=. --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc=`which grpc_ruby_plugin` $GOBGP_API/gobgp.proto
```

### Get Neighbor

Here is an example for getting neighbor's information.
```ruby
require 'gobgp'
require 'gobgp_services'

host = 'localhost'
host = ARGV[0] if ARGV.length > 0

stub = Gobgpapi::GobgpApi::Stub.new("#{host}:50051")
arg = Gobgpapi::Arguments.new()
stub.get_neighbors(arg).each do |n|
    puts "BGP neighbor is #{n.conf.neighbor_address}, remote AS #{n.conf.peer_as}"
    puts "\tBGP version 4, remote route ID #{n.conf.id}"
    puts "\tBGP state = #{n.info.bgp_state}, up for #{n.timers.state.uptime}"
    puts "\tBGP OutQ = #{n.info.out_q}, Flops = #{n.info.flops}"
    puts "\tHold time is #{n.timers.state.hold_time}, keepalive interval is #{n.timers.state.keepalive_interval} seconds"
    puts "\tConfigured hold time is #{n.timers.config.hold_time}"
end
```

Let's run this script.

```bash
$ruby -I . ./get_neighbors.rb
BGP neighbor is 192.168.10.2, remote AS 65001
    BGP version 4, remote route ID <nil>
    BGP state = BGP_FSM_ACTIVE, up for 0
    BGP OutQ = 0, Flops = 0
    Hold time is 0, keepalive interval is 0 seconds
    Configured hold time is 90
BGP neighbor is 192.168.10.3, remote AS 65001
    BGP version 4, remote route ID <nil>
    BGP state = BGP_FSM_ACTIVE, up for 0
    BGP OutQ = 0, Flops = 0
    Hold time is 0, keepalive interval is 0 seconds
    Configured hold time is 90
```

## <a name="cpp"> C++

For gRPC we need so much dependencies, please make coffee and be ready!

### Install ProtoBuffers:
```bash
apt-get update
apt-get install -y gcc make autoconf automake git libtool g++ curl

cd /usr/src
wget https://github.com/google/protobuf/archive/v3.0.0-alpha-4.tar.gz
tar -xf v3.0.0-alpha-4.tar.gz
cd protobuf-3.0.0-alpha-4/
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/opt/protobuf_3.0.0_alpha4
make -j 4
make install
```

### Install gRPC:
```bash
apt-get update
apt-get install -y gcc make autoconf automake git libtool g++ python-all-dev python-virtualenv

cd /usr/src/
git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc.git
cd grpc
# We are using specific commit because gRPC is under heavy development right now
git checkout e5cdbea1530a99a95fd3d032e7d69a19c61a0d16
git submodule update --init
make -j 4
make install prefix=/opt/grpc
```

We use .so compilation with golang, please use only 1.5 or newer version of Go Lang.

Clone this repository and build API example:
```bash
export PATH="$PATH:/opt//grpc/bin:/opt/protobuf_3.0.0_alpha4/bin/"

cd /usr/src
git clone https://github.com/osrg/gobgp.git
cd gobgp/gobgp/lib
go build -buildmode=c-shared -o libgobgp.so *.go
cp libgobgp.h /usr/src/gobgp/tools/grpc/cpp
cp libgobgp.so /usr/src/gobgp/tools/grpc/cpp
cp /usr/src/gobgp/api/gobgp.proto /usr/src/gobgp/tools/grpc/cpp/gobgp_api_client.proto
cd /usr/src/gobgp/tools/grpc/cpp
make
```

### Let's run it:
```bash
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".:/opt/grpc/lib:/opt/protobuf_3.0.0_alpha4/lib" ./gobgp_api_client

```

## <a name="nodejs"> Node.js

Build from source code because there is no official gRPC package for Ubuntu 14.04.
(Debian Linux and Mac OSX are much easier. See [the document](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/release-0_11/src/node))


### Install Protocol Buffers:

Install protobuf v3.0.0-beta before gRPC. gRPC installation process will try to do it automatically but fail. (Probably because it tries another version of protobuf)

See [installation document](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/INSTALL).

```bash
$ [sudo] apt-get install unzip autoconf libtool build-essential

$ wget https://github.com/google/protobuf/archive/v3.0.0-beta-4.tar.gz
$ tar zxvf v3.0.0-beta-4.tar.gz
$ cd protobuf-3.0.0-beta-4/
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ [sudo] make install
```

### Install gRPC:

```bash
$ [sudo] apt-get install git

$ git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc.git
$ cd grpc
$ git submodule update --init
$ make 
$ [sudo] make install
```

### Install Node.js gRPC library:

Let's say Node.js is already installed,

```bash
npm install grpc
```

### Example

Copy protocol definition.

```bash
cp $GOPATH/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/api/gobgp.proto .
```

Here is an example to show neighbor information.

```javascript
var grpc = require('grpc');
var api = grpc.load('gobgp.proto').gobgpapi;
var stub = new api.GobgpApi('localhost:50051', grpc.credentials.createInsecure());

stub.getNeighbor({}, function(err, neighbor) {
  neighbor.peers.forEach(function(peer) {
    if(peer.info.bgp_state == 'BGP_FSM_ESTABLISHED') {
      var date = new Date(Number(peer.timers.state.uptime)*1000);
      var holdtime = peer.timers.state.negotiated_hold_time;
      var keepalive = peer.timers.state.keepalive_interval;
    }

    console.log('BGP neighbor:', peer.conf.neighbor_address,
                ', remote AS:', peer.conf.peer_as);
    console.log("\tBGP version 4, remote router ID:", peer.conf.id);
    console.log("\tBGP state:", peer.info.bgp_state,
                ', uptime:', date);
    console.log("\tBGP OutQ:", peer.info.out_q,
                ', Flops:', peer.info.flops);
    console.log("\tHold time:", holdtime,
                ', keepalive interval:', keepalive, 'seconds');
    console.log("\tConfigured hold time:", peer.timers.config.hold_time);
  });
});
```

Let's run this:

```
BGP neighbor: 10.0.255.1 , remote AS: 65001
        BGP version 4, remote router ID: 10.0.255.1
        BGP state: BGP_FSM_ESTABLISHED , uptime: Wed Jul 20 2016 05:37:22 GMT+0900 (JST)
        BGP OutQ: 0 , Flops: 0
        Hold time: 90 , keepalive interval: 30 seconds
        Configured hold time: 90
BGP neighbor: 10.0.255.2 , remote AS: 65002
        BGP version 4, remote router ID: <nil>
        BGP state: BGP_FSM_ACTIVE , uptime: undefined
        BGP OutQ: 0 , Flops: 0
        Hold time: undefined , keepalive interval: undefined seconds
        Configured hold time: 90
```

## <a name="java"> Java
We can make a client in Java using [grpc-java](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java).

### Install JDK:
We need to install JDK and we use Oracle JDK8 in this example.
```bash
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_72"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_72-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.72-b15, mixed mode)
$ echo "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle" >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc
```


### Install ProtocolBuffers:
We use v3.0.0 beta2.
```bash
$ sudo apt-get install -y build-essential autoconf git libtool unzip
$ mkdir ~/work
$ cd ~/work
$ wget https://github.com/google/protobuf/archive/v3.0.0-beta-2.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf v3.0.0-beta-2.tar.gz
$ cd protobuf-3.0.0-beta-2
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib" >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc
```

Please check the version.
 ```bash
 $ protoc --version
 libprotoc 3.0.0
 ```

### Create protobuf library for Java:
```bash
$ sudo apt-get install maven
$ cd ~/work/protobuf-3.0.0-beta-2/java
$ mvn package
...
[INFO]

$ ls ./target/proto*
./target/protobuf-java-3.0.0-beta-2.jar
```

### Clone grpc-java and build protoc plugin and other dependencies:
```bash
$ cd ~/work
$ git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java.git
$ cd ./grpc-java
$ git checkout -b v0.12.0 v0.12.0
$ cd ./all

```

### Generate stub classes:
```bash
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/tools/grpc
$ mkdir -p java/src
$ cd java
$ GOBGP_API=$GOPATH/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/api
$ protoc --java_out=./src --proto_path="$GOBGP_API" $GOBGP_API/gobgp.proto
$ protoc --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc-java=$HOME/work/grpc-java/compiler/build/binaries/java_pluginExecutable/protoc-gen-grpc-java --grpc-java_out=./src --proto_path="$GOBGP_API" $GOBGP_API/gobgp.proto
$ ls ./src/gobgpapi/
Gobgp.java  GobgpApiGrpc.java
```

### Create your own client and build it:
```bash
$ cd ~/go/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/tools/grpc/java
$ mkdir -p src/gobgp/example
$ cd src/gobgp/example
$ vi GobgpSampleClient.java
```

```java
package gobgp.example;

import gobgpapi.Gobgp;
import gobgpapi.GobgpApiGrpc;
import io.grpc.ManagedChannel;
import io.grpc.ManagedChannelBuilder;

import java.util.Iterator;

public class GobgpSampleClient {

    private final GobgpApiGrpc.GobgpApiBlockingStub blockingStub;

    public GobgpSampleClient(String host, int port) {
        ManagedChannel channel = ManagedChannelBuilder.forAddress(host, port).usePlaintext(true).build();
        this.blockingStub = GobgpApiGrpc.newBlockingStub(channel);
    }

    public void getNeighbors(){

        Gobgp.Arguments request = Gobgp.Arguments.newBuilder().build();

        for(Iterator<Gobgp.Peer> iterator = this.blockingStub.getNeighbors(request); iterator.hasNext(); ) {
            Gobgp.Peer p = iterator.next();
            Gobgp.PeerConf conf = p.getConf();
            Gobgp.PeerState state = p.getInfo();
            Gobgp.Timers timer = p.getTimers();

            System.out.printf("BGP neighbor is %s, remote AS %d\n", conf.getNeighborAddress(), conf.getPeerAs());
            System.out.printf("\tBGP version 4, remote router ID %s\n", conf.getId());
            System.out.printf("\tBGP state = %s, up for %d\n", state.getBgpState(), timer.getState().getUptime());
            System.out.printf("\tBGP OutQ = %d, Flops = %d\n", state.getOutQ(), state.getFlops());
            System.out.printf("\tHold time is %d, keepalive interval is %d seconds\n",
                    timer.getState().getHoldTime(), timer.getState().getKeepaliveInterval());
            System.out.printf("\tConfigured hold time is %d\n", timer.getConfig().getHoldTime());

        }
    }

    public static void main(String args[]){
        new GobgpSampleClient(args[0], 8080).getNeighbors();
    }

}

```

Let's build and run it. However we need to download and copy some dependencies beforehand.
```bash
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/tools/grpc/java
$ mkdir lib
$ cd lib
$ wget http://central.maven.org/maven2/com/google/guava/guava/18.0/guava-18.0.jar
