5. End-to-End Validation

We first validate end-to-end communication between client and server by running ping and traceroute at the client, and then run iperf on both client and server.

Open two terminals, and login to client and server, respectively.

a. End-to-End traceroute and ping

  • Run ping from client (192.168.10.11) to server (192.168.20.10).

pjayant@client:~$ ping 192.168.20.10
PING 192.168.20.10 (192.168.20.10) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.20.10: icmp_seq=1 ttl=61 time=3.12 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.20.10: icmp_seq=2 ttl=61 time=2.42 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.20.10: icmp_seq=3 ttl=61 time=2.37 ms

  • Run traceroute from client (192.168.10.11) to server (192.168.20.10).
pjayant@client:~$ traceroute 192.168.20.10
traceroute to 192.168.20.10 (192.168.20.10), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

The ping and iperf results showed that the communication between the client and the server were good. Since the client and the server are not directly connected, they can communicate with each other means that the OSPF routing worked properly.

The traceroute showed the hops from the client to the server, where the intermediate hops are router-1, router-2 and router-3. This information also verified the routing path between the client and the server.

6. Tracking Routing Table Updates

From the traceroute result above, we know that from client to server, the path is client --> router-1 --> router-2 --> router-3 --> server

Now let's try some failure events and see how many updates occurs at a particular router, and we select Client to view the updates, and trigger the failures at router-2.

  • Bring down the interface at router-2

We can make the link between router-1 and router-2 fail by bringing down the corresponding interface on router-2. We disable the virtual interface at router-2, which is associated with the virtual link (192.168.1.0/24) to router-1. Use show ip ospf interface to find the name of that interface.

router-2.quagga.ch-geni-net.instageni.rnoc.gatech.edu(config-router)# do show ip ospf  interface

  OSPF not enabled on this interface
router-2.quagga.ch-geni-net.instageni.rnoc.gatech.edu(config-router)# 

For example, in the above the appropriate interface is eth1. So the command to bring down the interface to router-1 is:

router-2.quagga.ch-geni-net.instageni.rnoc.gatech.edu(config-router)# int eth1
router-2.quagga.ch-geni-net.instageni.rnoc.gatech.edu(config-if)# shutdown

At this time, we can run traceroute from client to server again, and we see that the path is changed: client --> router-1 --> router-4 --> router-3 --> server.

root@client:~# traceroute 192.168.20.10
traceroute to 192.168.20.10 (192.168.20.10), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
 1  router-1-link-5 (192.168.10.10)  0.525 ms  0.492 ms  0.511 ms
 2  router-4-link-3 (192.168.4.1)  0.679 ms  0.669 ms  0.719 ms
 3  router-3-link-2 (192.168.3.1)  1.123 ms  1.124 ms  1.034 ms
 4  Server-link-6 (192.168.20.10)  1.298 ms  1.346 ms  1.380 ms

When we bring up eth2 at router-2 again, we notice another routing table update at router-1 immediately. The command to bring the interface back up is:

router-2.quagga.ch-geni-net.instageni.rnoc.gatech.edu(config)# int eth1
router-2.quagga.ch-geni-net.instageni.rnoc.gatech.edu(config-if)# no shutdown
  • Run traceroute from client (192.168.10.11) to server (192.168.20.10).
pjayant@client:~$ traceroute 192.168.20.10
traceroute to 192.168.20.10 (192.168.20.10), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
 1  router-1-link-5 (192.168.10.10)  0.458 ms  0.528 ms  0.494 ms
 2  router-2-link-0 (192.168.1.2)  0.961 ms  0.867 ms  1.020 ms
 3  router-3-link-2 (192.168.3.1)  1.497 ms  1.461 ms  1.422 ms
 4  Server-link-6 (192.168.20.10)  1.808 ms  1.661 ms  1.699 ms

In this way, we can see routing table updates over time.
