Injecting new nodes in the network at runtime #106

Open nyrahul opened 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, the nodes are added using Whitefield config. Once the nodes are added, the node's attributes/interfaces/interface-attributes could be changed at runtime. However, injecting new nodes at runtime is currently not possible.

Describe the solution you'd like It should be possible to inject a new node using a node configuration file at runtime using an OAM command (for e.g., wfshell cmd_add_node config-file)

@philok93 , please check if the issue describes the feature you queried and comment if anything specific handling you may require. Thanks.

@nyrahul thanks for your help. I would say that an even better idea is to add a node at runtime, save the new config into a file and restart/continue whitefield simulation (depends on your preference). This will help me to automate the procedure of doing multiple simulations with an increasing number of nodes. For now I need to create different configuration files with the specific number of nodes.
