Hi Ralf-
Are you running both the controller(s) and cbench locally on the same machine? Have you checked to ensure nothing else is running on the controller port before launching the controller under test? Did you check out the latest oflops from git, and compile it against the correct OpenFlow version (1.0)? What command line are you using for both the controller(s) and cbench? And can you attach logs from both?

Hello Openflow Mailinglist :),
i am relatively new to openflow so if this question has already been asked some times i am sorry, but i couldnt find any further info on this issue on the net than this link (which has no solution and is nox specific -> https://github.com/noxrepo/nox/issues/5)

I have setup a small openflow testbed using a server installed with Ubuntu 11.10, I set up the beacon, floodlight and nox controller (compiled from source) to get an idea on starting with openflow. My first goal was to get to a point where i can do my own tests for applications - as a basic idea i started with the benchmarks pointed out at http://www.openflow.org/wk/index.php/Controller_Performance_Comparisons . I followed the instructions and settings outlined on the page and all controllers are initially running, but upon running cbench i am getting output similar to the following after a few seconds:

controller msgbuf_read() = -1:  msgbuf_read: Connection reset by peer

the controller is still receiving messages at this point and ends with disconnecting the switches still running the controller, cbench terminates.

At first i thought this related to memory issues on the controller side so i increased this memory, same effect. same relates to setting up the nox controller - cbench terminates with the similar message after a few seconds, on the controllerside a "boost::asio::streambuf too long" exception is thrown. (i am using the default switch implementation as outlined on the performance comparison page)
floodlight also has the same behaviour as beacon

I also tried to set up a debian sid installation on the same hardware and ran into the same issues. Also a virtual setup using ubuntu on a virtualbox install has the same issue

Testbench Server:
HP DL380G5
2x Xeon 2.84Ghz Quadcore
20GB DDR2
running Ubuntu 11.10 x64

what am i doing wrong? any hint is appreciated.

regards,
Ralf Leichter
