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>] or
--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>]]
or --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> or --bandwidth <targetbandwidth>
Target bandwidth for UDP tests. The <targetbandwidth> must be
given in bits per second. Use postfix M or K to alter the
target bandwidth magnitude.
• -i <testinterval> or --interval <testinterval>
How long each test should run. By default 5 seconds.
• -t <tunnelmode> or --tunnel-mode <tunnelmode>
Specify the tunnel type. This option must match on server and
client.
• -h or --help
Prints a brief help message to the console.
• -V or --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
