Confirmation Tests Performance Measurements

This page captures all performance measurements captured during ExoGENI New Site Confirmation tests. For test details see the ExoGENI Confirmation Tests page. For test status see the ExoGENI New Site Confirmation Tests Status page.

Test Methodology

Test Characteristics:

• All VMs at one site are on the same VM server, unless otherwise stated.
• All results are captured for default bandwidth allocation (100Mb/s shaped), unless otherwise stated.
• All results are captured for default OS (Fedora 15 STD).
• All results collected between 2013-03-01 through 2013-03-07, unless otherwise stated.

Iperf TCP measurements captured in this page have the following assumptions:

• All results are for a 60 second test run.
• for OpenFlow scenarios, traffic is exchanged to establish data flows before measurement test runs are executed.
• iperf '1 client' scenario command: 'iperf -c dest_host -t 60'
• iperf '5 clients' scenario command: 'iperf -c dest_host -t 60 -P 5'
• iperf '10 clients' scenario command: 'iperf -c dest_host -t 60 -P 10'

Iperf UDP measurements captured in this page have the following assumptions:

• Each test run is 60 seconds.
• UDP measurements within a rack requested a bandwidth of 1Gbits/sec for test run
• UDP measurements between racks requested a bandwidth of 100 Mbits/sec, if results showed that 100Mb/s was possible, then increased to 1Gb/s.

For OpenFlow scenarios 20 ping packets are exchanged before Iperf is started, this is to have the flows set up not impact iperf measurements.
