Performance Measurement Tool for Packet Forwarding Devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
A tool built from primarily public domain software components is presented to evaluate the performance of packet forwarding devices used in modern TCP/IP based computer networks. The tool makes possible to specify complex traffic patterns based on a high level definition, then to execute the designed measurements and collect data, to process the results of measurements, and finally to generate high quality figures and tables for presentation. The component based, distributed architecture of the tool assures flexibility and scalability. After customization, the tool allows the performance evaluation of Linux based routers as demonstrated in the example.

Assessing the Quality of Flow Measurements from OpenFlow Devices
Since its initial proposal in 2008, OpenFlow has evolved to become today’s main enabler of Software-Defined Networking. OpenFlow specifies operations for network forwarding devices and a communication protocol between data and control planes. Although not primarily designed as a traffic measurement tool, many works have proposed to use measured data from OpenFlow to support, e.g., traffic engin...
متن کاملAssessing Soft- and Hardware Bottlenecks in PC-based Packet Forwarding Systems
Due to grown capabilities of commodity hardware for packet processing and the high flexibility of software, the use of those systems as alternatives to expensive dedicated networking devices has gained momentum. However, the performance of such PC-based software systems is still low when compared to specialized hardware. In this paper, we analyze the performance of several packet forwarding sys...

متن کاملTechnischer Bericht ET: End-to-End Tunneling Extension to Mobile IPv6
In the standard Mobile IPv6, route optimization or bidirectional tunnelling through the home agent show inefficiency in per-packet forwarding, especially when both communicating endpoints are mobile. To be scalable and compatible, mobile devices’ packets should be forwarded in a way with minimal changes to the network infrastructure. However, the current solutions do not provide any means for t...
