Test WFQ Pre-Classification With Hardware-Offload

Description

In this scenario, a WFQ qdisc is configured in DUT0 (eth4 interface) to achieve linksharing among a hierarchy of classes. Since hardware offload is configured, CEETM is used internally.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set interfaces ethernet eth4 address 10.0.0.2/24
set interfaces ethernet eth4 traffic control out QDISC
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'
set traffic control QDISC type wfq bandwidth 100
set traffic control QDISC type wfq class 1 weight 50
set traffic control QDISC type wfq class 2 weight 30
set traffic control QDISC type wfq class 8 weight 20
set traffic control QDISC type wfq default-class 8
set traffic control QDISC type wfq hardware-offload
set traffic control QDISC type wfq match 1 class 1
set traffic control QDISC type wfq match 1 ip destination port 8080
set traffic control QDISC type wfq match 2 class 2
set traffic control QDISC type wfq 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 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=0.299 ms

--- 10.0.0.1 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.299/0.299/0.299/0.000 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 parallel 1
Expect this output in DUT0:

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 parallel 1
Expect this output in DUT0:
