| 2 | |
| 3 | Summary: |
| 4 | This test suite consists of basic flow-rule based functionality testing. |
| 5 | The main goal of this test suite is to verify that the flow subsytem is |
| 6 | compiling flows correctly. We verify each flow by utilizing Scapy, a |
| 7 | Python library for generating and sending packets. The following is an |
| 8 | overview of the test. |
| 9 | Steps: |
| 10 | - Discover hosts |
| 11 | - add specific flow |
| 12 | - verify flow |
| 13 | - remove flow |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Each repetion of the steps tests a specific selector. Here is a list |
| 16 | of the selectors that are being tested: |
| 17 | Selectors: |
| 18 | - MAC |
| 19 | - IPv4 |
| 20 | - VLAN |
| 21 | - MPLS |
| 22 | - TCP |
| 23 | - UDP |
| 24 | |
| 25 | We verify the selectors by sending a tailor made packet through the |
| 26 | two hosts. If the packet was recieved, then the flow was compiled |
| 27 | correctly. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Topology: |
| 30 | The topology consists of one switch with four hosts connected to it. |
| 31 | Two hosts are regular IPv4 hosts, while the other two are hosts with |
| 32 | vlan interfaces to test the vlan selector. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | Required: |
| 35 | This test requires Mininet topology file topo-flow.py located in the |
| 36 | dependency folder. The topology consistes of VLAN hosts, so you will |
| 37 | need to install the VLAN module. You will also need to install the |
| 38 | Python module, Scapy. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | VLAN configuration: |
| 41 | Execute command: |
| 42 | $ sudo apt-get install vlan |
| 43 | Configuration: |
| 44 | $ sudo modprobe 8021q |
| 45 | NOTE:To make this configuration permanent |
| 46 | $ sudo su -c 'echo "8021q" >> /etc/modules' |
| 47 | |
| 48 | Scapy install: |
| 49 | sudo apt-get install Scapy |
