Sharing information between bess and nimbess agent (or learning/slow path)

[kot-begemot-uk]

Apologies if I have misunderstood something.

Presently, bess config in the k8s directory is:

  containers:
    - name: bess
      image: nimbess/bess

And nimbess is:
- name: nimbess-agent
image: nimbess/nimbess-agent
command: ["/nimbess-agent"]

Unless I am missing something they both need an extra shared mount to exchange information via unix-domain sockets as used in the bess UnixSocketPort?

I think you are right once we move to unix socket. Right now it's all TCP. See:
https://github.com/nimbess/nimbess-agent/blob/master/pkg/drivers/bess/bess.go#L61

We can keep this issue open for tracking the fix for using unix socket instead.
