Test CEETM QDisc

Description

In this scenario, a CEETM qdisc is configured in DUT0 (‘eth0’ interface) to achieve linksharing among a hierarchy of classes. The difference with HTB is that CEETM uses a hardware-offloaded driver.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set interfaces ethernet eth1 address 10.0.0.2/24
set interfaces ethernet eth1 traffic control out QDISC
set traffic control QDISC type ceetm bandwidth 100
set traffic control QDISC type ceetm class 1 bandwidth percentage 50
set traffic control QDISC type ceetm class 1 ceiling percentage 100
set traffic control QDISC type ceetm class 2 bandwidth percentage 20
set traffic control QDISC type ceetm class 2 ceiling percentage 0
set traffic control QDISC type ceetm class 3 bandwidth percentage 10
set traffic control QDISC type ceetm class 3 ceiling percentage 0
set traffic control QDISC type ceetm match 1 class 1
set traffic control QDISC type ceetm match 1 ip destination port 8080
set traffic control QDISC type ceetm match 2 class 2
set traffic control QDISC type ceetm match 2 ip protocol tcp
set traffic control QDISC type ceetm default-class 3

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT1:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.0.0.1/24

Step 3: Ping IP address 10.0.0.1 from DUT0:

admin@DUT0$ ping 10.0.0.1 count 1 size 56 timeout 1
Show output
PING 10.0.0.1 (10.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=361 ms

--- 10.0.0.1 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 360.835/360.835/360.835/0.000 ms

Step 4: Initiate a bandwidth test from DUT0 to DUT1

admin@DUT1$ monitor test performance server port 8080
admin@DUT0$ monitor test performance client 10.0.0.1 duration 5 port 8080
Expect this output in DUT0:

iperf Done.

Step 5: Initiate a bandwidth test from DUT0 to DUT1

admin@DUT1$ monitor test performance server port 1234
admin@DUT0$ monitor test performance client 10.0.0.1 duration 5 port 1234
Expect this output in DUT0:
Connecting to host 10.0.0.1, port 1234
[  5] local 10.0.0.2 port 50188 connected to 10.0.0.1 port 1234

[  5]   0.00-5.20   sec  11.7 MBytes  18.8 Mbits/sec                  receiver

iperf Done.

Step 6: Run command traffic control show at DUT0 and check if output contains the following tokens:

class 1
class 2
class 3
Show output
