PersistentTestHostRequirments
v3 v4 2 2 * access to the "commodity internet" would be very helpful for package installs and out-of-band monitoring, though not required. 3 3 * VMs are OK, but let us know. Some VM's require their interface to have promiscuous mode enabled to allow for tcpdump'ing layer2 frames such as OpenFlow Discovery (LLDP) frames. 4 * NIC interface into VLAN 3712. BBN and other campuses have used multiple Interfaces (physical interfaces, virtual interfaces, or a VM with vnics)to support testing all Backbone connections from a single host.4 * NIC interface(s) into the GENI VLAN(s) being monitored. BBN and other campuses have used multiple Interfaces (physical interfaces, virtual interfaces, or a VM with vnics) to support testing all Backbone connections from a single host. 5 5 * no other firm requirement, even "spare" laptops has even been used. 6 6 7 7 8 8 == OS == 9 * Some variant of Linux - so far CentOs and Ubuntu have been used9 * Some variant of Linux - so far !CentOs and Ubuntu have been used 10 10 11 11 12 12 == Software (we'll install with sudo access) == 13 13 * iperf 14 * ganglia client 14 * One instance as a TCP server. 15 * One instance as a UDP server. 16 * Ganglia (client) 15 17 * VLC 16 18 * arping … … 34 36 35 37 == Reach-ability, bandwidth usage and testing == 36 This host provides an easy sanity check for ensuring that the backbone connection is working, so the host should be "up" whenever possible. Sustained traffic will also be minimal, usually very low periodicity ganglia messages and the occasional ping. Iperf and VLC will be used for testing and metrics, though we'll let you know when we plan on testing with these tools with any substantial Bandwidth (We've typically called this 50 MBps, is this acceptable for you?). Well share results with you.38 This host provides an easy sanity check for ensuring that the backbone connection is working, so the host should be "up" whenever possible.
