Traffic Control
The following scenario shows how to configure a basic
traffic control discipline, which can be used on OSDx for traffic
shaping and scheduling purposes. The monitor test
performance operational command can be used to calculate
the throughput.
Test Traffic Control
Description
In this scenario, a simple HTB qdisc is configured in DUT0.
Scenario
Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :
set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.0.0.2/24 set interfaces ethernet eth0 traffic control out QDISC set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0' set traffic control QDISC type htb bandwidth 100 set traffic control QDISC type htb class 1 bandwidth percentage 34 set traffic control QDISC type htb class 2 bandwidth percentage 33 set traffic control QDISC type htb class 3 bandwidth percentage 33 set traffic control QDISC type htb default-class 3 set traffic control QDISC type htb match 1 class 1 set traffic control QDISC type htb match 1 ip protocol icmp set traffic control QDISC type htb match 2 class 2 set traffic control QDISC type htb match 2 ip protocol tcp
Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT1 :
set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.0.0.1/24 set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'
Step 3: Ping IP address 10.0.0.1 from DUT0:
admin@DUT0$ ping 10.0.0.1 count 1 size 56 timeout 1Show 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=0.300 ms --- 10.0.0.1 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.300/0.300/0.300/0.000 ms
Step 4: Run command traffic control show at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:
class 1\s+1:0\s+[1-9]\d*Show output
Traffic control for interface 'eth0' - 'egress' mode ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ID traffic control type parent bytes sent pkts sent pkts dropped ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1:0 QDISC htb root 226 3 0 1:1 QDISC class 1 1:0 98 1 0 1:2 QDISC class 2 1:0 0 0 0 1:3 QDISC class 3 (default) 1:0 128 2 0 2:0 - fq_codel 1:1 98 1 0 3:0 - fq_codel 1:2 0 0 0 4:0 - fq_codel 1:3 128 2 0
Step 5: Run command traffic control show at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:
class 2\s+1:0\s+0Show output
