[Tutorial] How to setup QoS on Open vSwitch

There are two ways to do that:

1. Interface Rate Limiting ( on Interface )

• For instance:

         > sudo ovs-vsctl set Interface eth1 ingress_policing_rate=10000
         > sudo ovs-vsctl set Interface eth1 ingress_policing_burst=1000

 2. Port  QoS Policy ( on Port )

• For instance:

         > sudo ovs-vsctl set port eth1 qos=@newqos \
             -- --id=@newqos create qos type=linux-htb \
             other-config:max-rate=200000000 queues=0=@q0,1=@q1 \
             -- --id=@q0 create queue \
             other-config:min-rate=100000000 \
             other-config:max-rate=100000000 \
              -- --id=@q1 create queue \
             other-config:min-rate=50000000 \
             other-config:max-rate=50000000

• Qos can have more than 1 queue

[Open vSwitch] How to get port statistics from interface in OVS

1. Show the bridge info
> sudo ovs-vsctl show
result:
2909bfce-536e-4184-a5bb-507f0553abee
    Bridge "br0"
        Controller "tcp:10.6.186.244"
        Port "br0"
            Interface "br0"
                type: internal
        Port "eth3"
            Interface "eth3"
        Port "eth2"
            Interface "eth2"
        Port "eth1"

2. Get port statistics from interface
> sudo ovs-vsctl get Interface br0 statistics
result:

{collisions=0,

rx_bytes=0,

rx_crc_err=0,

rx_dropped=0,

rx_errors=0,

rx_frame_err=0,

rx_over_err=0,

rx_packets=0,

tx_bytes=0,

tx_dropped=0,

tx_errors=0,

tx_packets=0}

[Python] How to use Decorators for Functions and Methods

When list_ports() is executed, Class ApiCall will be created for becoming a decorator to examine the arguments as follows:

import sys class ApiCall(object): """A Decorator to add support for format and tenant overriding""" def __init__(self, function): self.function = function def __get__(self, instance, owner): def with_params(*args, **kwargs): """ Temporarily sets the format and tenant for this request """ (format, tenant) = (instance.format, instance.tenant) if 'format' in kwargs: instance.format = kwargs['format'] if 'tenant' in kwargs: instance.tenant = kwargs['tenant'] ret = self.function(instance, *args) (instance.format, instance.tenant) = (format, tenant) return ret return with_params class Client(object): def __init__(self, tenant=None, format="xml"): self.tenant = tenant self.format = format @ApiCall def list_ports(self, network): """ Fetches a list of ports on a given network """ return network def main(): client = Client(tenant="AAA",format="xml") client.list_ports('my network') sys.exit(0) if __name__ == "__main__": main()

[Tutorial][Trema] Show Topology

 Trema有一個很不錯的App, 可以利用toplogy與 topology_discovery App, 去產生topology graph…如下:

下列為Network emulation的設定檔內容

# virtual switches

vswitch("switch1") { datapath_id "0x1" }

vswitch("switch2") { datapath_id "0x2" }

vswitch("switch3") { datapath_id "0x3" }

vswitch("switch4") { datapath_id "0x4" }

vswitch("switch4") { datapath_id "0x5" }

# virtual hosts

vhost("host1")

vhost("host2")

vhost("host3")

vhost("host4")

# virtual links

link "switch1", "switch2"

link "switch1", "switch3"

link "switch2", "switch3"

link "switch2", "switch4"

link "switch2", "switch5"

link "switch3", "switch4"
link "switch3", "switch5"

link "switch4", "switch5"

link "switch4", "host1"

link "switch4", "host2"

link "switch5", "host3"

link "switch5", "host4"

[Tutorial] ovsdbmonitor GUI 設定步驟 (setup procedure)

The following steps are the setup procedure for running ovsdbmonitor GUI

(You have to make sure that your "PYTHONPATH" contains the path of openvswitch source path/python. )

   

1. 增加PYTHONPATH到 .bashrc

for example:
PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:/home/liudanny/Source/openvswitch-1.2.2/python/"
Export PYTHONPATH

2. 增加一個symbolic link for ovsdb-client
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/ovsdb-client /usr/bin/ovsdb-client

3. 執行ovsdbmonitor
“your openswitch path”/ovsdb/ovsdbmonitor/ovsdbmonitor

4. 設定Host Properties:
Host name or IP: your openvswitch host
SSH Password: ***
Connect target: unix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock
＊     這個connect target 會與 啟動ovsdb-server daemon 的參數有相關 ＊

          sudo ovsdb-server --remote=punix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock \

                    --remote=db:Open_vSwitch,manager_options \

                    --private-key=db:SSL,private_key \

                    --certificate=db:SSL,certificate \

                    --bootstrap-ca-cert=db:SSL,ca_cert \

                    --pidfile --detach

5.       相關畫面 (可以看到ovs database 內的table content, 每個頁簽都代表一個table)
