… to speed up netlink request:
##
# experimental code
#
# the «parser2» branch
from pyroute2.iproute import IPBatch
from pyroute2.iproute import IPRoute
ipr = IPRoute() # an ordinary IPRoute object
b = IPBatch() # a batch object with the same API as IPRoute
# create a dummy interface «test»
ipr.link("add", ifname="test", kind="dummy")
idx = ipr.link_lookup(ifname="test")[0]
for i in range(2, 255):
# add an IPv4 address to the batch request
b.addr("add", index=idx, address="10.0.0.%i" % i, mask=24)
# the difference:
# IPRoute.addr("add", …) would send the request immediately
# IPBatch.addr("add", …) only compiles the buffer
# one can send it later via IPRoute.sendto(…)
# send all the compiled packets at once as one data chunk
ipr.sendto(b.batch, (0, 0))
b.reset() # reset the batch buffer
ipr.close()
