Step 4: Execute Experiment

To run the experiment we will use two terminals to login to the "right-client" and the "left-client" VMs and one browser to connect to the "server" VM to review results. To get the login information you can use the readyToLogin script or the portal. If you don't know how to login to your hosts look at Appendix A.

1. Open two windows, one that you are logged in to the right-client and one that you are logged in to the left-client.

2. Start a browser and navigate to the "server's"s hostname; if you don't know how to find the hostname look at Appendix A. For this example experiment the hostname allocated is pcvm1-15.instageni.stanford.edu:

3. Now let's generate some traffic to determine how much capacity we can use on each link type:

In the "right-client" window issue:

right-client$ /usr/bin/iperf -c 192.168.1.2 -t 30 -P 5

In the "left-client" window issue:

left-client$ /usr/bin/iperf -c 10.10.1.2 -t 30 -P 5

4. Back in the browser. Refresh the web page and you should see the results for both iperf tests:

Note: The interface capacity for all links was set to 20 Mbits/sec in the RSpec used for this tutorial.

5. Time permitting! Let's exchange some layer 2 traffic by using PingPLus.

Add a third terminal window which is logged into the "server" host. Determine the 2 Data Plane interfaces and remove the IP of the two interfaces. Take note of the MAC address for the 192.168.1.2 and 10.10.1.2 interfaces and start the ping listener.

server$ sudo /sbin/ifconfig ethXXX 0
server$ sudo /sbin/ifconfig ethYYY 0 
server$ sudo /local/stitch-tutorial/pingPlus_v3/pingPlusListener 10000 

Note: A ping listener process was started for you by the installation script.

In the "right-client" window remove the IP from the dataplane interface (ethXXX) and run layer2 ping to "server's" MAC address (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX) for the 192.168.1.0 network via the ethXXX interface:

right-client$ sudo /sbin/ifconfig ethXXX 0
right-client$ sudo /local/stitch-tutorial/scripts/runPingPlus.sh XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ethXXX

In the "left-client" window remove the IP from the dataplane interface (ethYYY) and run layer2 ping to "server's" MAC address (YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY) for the 10.10.1.0 network via the ethYYY interface:

left-client$ sudo /sbin/ifconfig ethYYY 0
left-client$ sudo /local/stitch-tutorial/scripts/runPingPlus.sh YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY ethYYY

The experiment is now completed; time to release resources!
