1.9: Experiment F - Flow Subsystem Burst Throughput

Created by You Wang on Feb 20, 2017

System Env:

Server: Dual XeonE5-2670 v2 2.5GHz; 64GB DDR3; 512GB SSD
1Gbps NIC
JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS:--Xms8G -Xmx8G}"

ONOS Apps:

drivers, null, demo

ONOS Config:

cfg set org.onosproject.store.flow.impl.DistributedFlowRuleStore backupEnabled true
cfg set org.onosproject.provider.nil.NullProviders deviceCount 35
cfg set org.onosproject.provider.nil.NullProviders topoShape linear
cfg set org.onosproject.provider.nil.NullProviders enabled true

"Constant-Load" Test Conditions:

F = 122500 - total # of flows installed
N: # of neighboring ONOS's for flows to be installed when ONOS1 is the server installing flows
S: #servers installing flows
SW = 35 - total # of switches (Null Devices) connected to ONOS cluster evenly distributed to active ONOS nodes
FL: # flows to be installed on each switch

Command:

python3 $ONOS_ROOT/tools/tests/bin/flow-tester.py -f FL -n N -s servers
