The ovs-l3ping program may be used to check for problems that could
be caused by invalid routing policy, misconfigured firewall in the
tunnel path or a bad NIC driver. On one of the nodes, run ovs-l3ping
in server mode and on the other node run it in client mode. The
client and server will establish L3 tunnel, over which client will
give further testing instructions. The ovs-l3ping client will perform
UDP and TCP tests. This tool is different from ovs-test that it
encapsulates XML/RPC control connection over the tunnel, so there is
no need to open special holes in firewall.
UDP tests can report packet loss and achieved bandwidth for various
datagram sizes. By default target bandwidth for UDP tests is 1Mbit/s.
TCP tests report only achieved bandwidth, because kernel TCP stack
takes care of flow control and packet loss.
Client Mode
An ovs-l3ping client will create a L3 tunnel and connect over it to
the ovs-l3ping server to schedule the tests. TunnelRemoteIP is the
peer's IP address, where tunnel will be terminated. InnerIP is the
address that will be temporarily assigned during testing. All test
traffic originating from this IP address to the RemoteInnerIP will be
tunneled. It is possible to override default ControlPort and
DataPort, if there is any other application that already listens on
those two ports.
Server Mode
To conduct tests, ovs-l3ping server must be running. It is required
that both client and server InnerIP addresses are in the same subnet.
It is possible to specify InnerIP with netmask in CIDR format.
One of -s or -c is required. The -t option is also required.
-s TunnelRemoteIP,InnerIP[/mask][:ControlPort]
--server TunnelRemoteIP,InnerIP[/mask][:ControlPort]
Run in server mode and create L3 tunnel with the client that
will be accepting tunnel at TunnelRemoteIP address. The
socket on InnerIP[:ControlPort] will be used to receive
further instructions from the client.
-c
TunnelRemoteIP,InnerIP[/mask][:ControlPort[:DataPort]],RemoteInnerIP[:ControlPort[:DataPort]]
--client
TunnelRemoteIP,InnerIP[/mask][:ControlPort[:DataPort]],RemoteInnerIP[:ControlPort[:DataPort]]
Run in client mode and create L3 tunnel with the server on
TunnelRemoteIP. The client will use InnerIP to generate test
traffic with the server's RemoteInnerIP.
-b targetbandwidth
--bandwidth targetbandwidth
Target bandwidth for UDP tests. The targetbandwidth must be
given in bits per second. It is possible to use postfix M or K
to alter the target bandwidth magnitude.
-i testinterval
--interval testinterval
How long each test should run. By default 5 seconds.
-t tunnelmode
--tunnel-mode tunnelmode
Specify the tunnel type. This option must match on server and
client.
-h
--help Prints a brief help message to the console.
-V
--version
Prints version information to the console.
On host 192.168.122.220 start ovs-l3ping in server mode. This
command will create a temporary GRE tunnel with the host
192.168.122.236 and assign 10.1.1.1/28 as the inner IP address, where
client will have to connect:
ovs-l3ping -s 192.168.122.236,10.1.1.1/28 -t gre
On host 192.168.122.236 start ovs-l3ping in client mode. This
command will use 10.1.1.2/28 as the local inner IP address and will
connect over the L3 tunnel to the server's inner IP address at
10.1.1.1.
ovs-l3ping -c 192.168.122.220,10.1.1.2/28,10.1.1.1 -t gre
