| FUNCflow test suite |
| |
| Summary: |
| This test suite consists of basic flow-rule based functionality testing. |
| The main goal of this test suite is to verify that the flow subsytem is |
| compiling flows correctly. We verify each flow by utilizing Scapy, a |
| Python library for generating and sending packets. The following is an |
| overview of the test. |
| Steps: |
| - Discover hosts |
| - add specific flow |
| - verify flow |
| - remove flow |
| |
| Each repetion of the steps tests a specific selector. Here is a list |
| of the selectors that are being tested: |
| Selectors: |
| - MAC |
| - IPv4 |
| - VLAN |
| - MPLS |
| - TCP |
| - UDP |
| |
| We verify the selectors by sending a tailor made packet through the |
| two hosts. If the packet was recieved, then the flow was compiled |
| correctly. |
| |
| Topology: |
| The topology consists of one switch with four hosts connected to it. |
| Two hosts are regular IPv4 hosts, while the other two are hosts with |
| vlan interfaces to test the vlan selector. |
| |
| Required: |
| This test requires Mininet topology file topo-flow.py located in the |
| dependencies folder. The topology consistes of VLAN hosts, so you will |
| need to install the VLAN module. You will also need to install the |
| Python module, Scapy. |
| |
| VLAN configuration: |
| Execute command: |
| $ sudo apt-get install vlan |
| Configuration: |
| $ sudo modprobe 8021q |
| NOTE:To make this configuration permanent |
| $ sudo su -c 'echo "8021q" >> /etc/modules' |
| |
| Scapy install: |
| sudo apt-get install Scapy |
