Re: [nox-dev] Error building dev/destiny-fast branch

[Murphy McCauley]

This branch is quite a bit behind the actual development.  We're preparing to 
release the updated codebase in the near future.

But for one thing, Python doesn't work in it.  So you probably need to do 
--with-python=no when you run configure.

Hope that helps.

Re: [nox-dev] meta.xml converts to meta.json

[Murphy McCauley]

To use it, you just do something like:
python nox-convert-meta.py meta.xml > meta.json

But here's the result:
{
  "components": [
{
  "python": "nox.netapps.mobilevms.mobilevms", 
  "dependencies": [
"python", 
"pyrouting", 
"pyauthenticator"
  ], 
  "name": "mobilevms"
}, 
{
  "python": "nox.netapps.mobilevms.basicrouting", 
  "dependencies": [
"pyrouting", 
"authenticator", 
"broadcast_resolve"
  ], 
  "name": "basicrouting"
}
  ]
}

Just paste that into a meta.json file and hopefully you're good to go.

Re: [nox-dev] Error building dev/destiny-fast branch

[Andreas Voellmy]

Thanks. The code compiled after configuring without python.

I was able to get roughly the same kind of performance out of the 'switch'
application that is mentioned on the performance page (
http://www.openflow.org/wk/index.php/Controller_Performance_Comparisons).
However, the 'hub' controller doesn't have much speedup when running with
more threads. For example, when running with one thread I get a throughput
of 213868.81 and when I run it with 8 threads I get a throughput
of 264017.35. (To run with 8 threads, I am starting the controller like
this: "./nox_core -i ptcp: hub -t 8"; I am testing with cbench in
throughput mode "cbench -p  -t")

Is this - that 'hub' gets not much speedup while 'switch' gets lots of
speedup - expected with this branch of NOX? Is there something that needs to
be done to hub in order to enable the framework to run it concurrently?

Regards,
Andreas

[nox-dev] Sending UDP traffic in openflow network

[Shan Hu]

Hi guys,

Im trying to test the Qos Rate-Limiting of Kernel vSwitch, i use iperf as my 
measurement tool.
Everything is working fine with TCP part,that is, after i limit rate of one 
port to, say 50Mbps,
the rate is limited to 50Mbps correctly and packets are tranferred 100%. 
But when i turn to UDP part,i ran into problems.I have to limit bandwidth to at 
most 4Mbps in order to tranfer
100% packets.And if i use bandwidth more than 4Mbps, the lost packets increase, 
the worst packet lost percentage is almost 99%.

Firstly i thought it is iperf's problem, so i tried to run iperf in normal 
network,i set bandwidth to 50Mbps,
and things work fine.
So can anyone give me some ideas where the problem might be?

regards,
Shan

Re: [nox-dev] Error building dev/destiny-fast branch

[Amin Tootoonchian]

I only updated the 'switch' app in that code base, and I never looked
at 'hub'. My guess is that the hub app is doing so little that locking
within boost::asio scheduler outweights the actual work done by the
hub app. We need to make sure that the amount of work done by each
thread upon its invocation is significantly more than the locking
overhead in boost::asio's internal job queue.

If that is the case, since we are working on a new release, it doesn't
make much sense to fix it in that code base. Could you wait for that?

Cheers,
Amin

P.S.: Btw, passing '--enable-ndebug' to configure should boost the performace.

I'm unclear about how components in the destiny branch work. Do the handlers
run concurrently by default, or is there something extra that one has to
write to get them to execute concurrently? If something extra is needed,
what is it in switch.cc that makes it execute concurrently? Or are you
saying that the event handlers in 'hub' are indeed running concurrently, but
they aren't doing enough work to get much performance gain? (By the way, I
was looking at /src/nox/coreapps/switch/switch.cc
and /src/nox/coreapps/hub/hub.cc)

Thanks,
Andreas

[nox-dev] how to add the components of mobilevms to NOX destiny

[王健]

 Thank you very much for your help, this is my first time to ask a question on 
NOX,  you give me confidence to finish this experiment.
   I downloaded the source code of nox-0.40-with-mobilevms from 
http://www.openflow.org/wk/index.php/Mobile_VMs. Now i want to use its 
mobilevms code on my NOX(destiny), so i follow the steps on nox 
website--http://noxrepo.org/noxwiki/index.php/Developing_in_NOX.
   First i copy the folder mobilevms in nox-0.40-with-mobilevms/src/nox/netapps 
to the specified path(src/nox/netapps) indicated by the website.  But there are 
two paths, one is nox/src/nox/netapps, the other is nox/build/src/nox/netapps. 
As i do not sure which it is, so i copy the folder to both. At then i use the 
meta.json you sended to me to replace the meta.xml. Next step i switch to nox 
directory and run the command:  ./boot.sh
the terminal shows: automake: cannot open < 
build/src/nox/netapps/mobilevms/../../../Make.vars: no such file or directory
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
then i go on and run: cd build/
   ../configure
the terminal shows: config.status: error: cannot find input file: 
`build/src/nox/netapps/mobilevms/wireshark_dissectors/dc_stats/Makefile.in'
i also go on and run:  
make -j
it shows:automake-1.11: cannot open < 
build/src/nox/netapps/mobilevms/../../../Make.vars: no such file or directory
make: *** [../Makefile.in] error 1
I don't know where it is wrong, could you please give me some suggests, thank 
you very very much, look forward to hear form you~

Re: [nox-dev] how to add the components of mobilevms to NOX destiny

[Kyriakos Zarifis]

You shouldn't copy any source code into the build/ directory. Anything that
needs to be there will be created automatically when you build
So only copy the folder you downloaded into nox/src/nox/netapps(delete
it from nox/build/src/nox/netapps)

[nox-dev] how to add the components of mobilevms to NOX destiny

[王健]

hi Kyriakos Zarifis
Thank you very much for your quick reply, the following is my steps:
1) delete the folder(mobilevms) from nox/build/src/nox/netapps

2) copy the folder(mobilevms) to nox/src/nox/netapps (the file meta.xml in 
mobilevms is replaced by the file meta.json)
3) switch to nox directory and run the command: ./boot.sh
 the terminal shows:

autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

4)  cd build/
../configure
there is no error here
5) make -j
there is also no error
6) cd src/
  ./nox_core -v -v -i ptcp:6633 mobilevms
the terminal shows:
00043|nox|ERR:Application 'mobilevms' description not found.

Now i try some methods to solve this problem. The first one is: i think the 
wireshark_dissectors folder(in mobilevms) is no usefulness , so i delete it 
from mobilevms and run the ./boot.sh command again(there is no error now), but 
when i run the command
  ./nox_core -v -v -i ptcp:6633 mobilevms
it also shows: 00043|nox|ERR:Application 'mobilevms' description not found.
At this time i copy the meta.json from nox/src/nox/netapps/mobilevms to 
nox/build/src/nox/netapps/mobilevms and then run the command ./nox_core -v -v 
-i ptcp:6633 mobilevms again ,the terminal shows:
00081|nox|ERR:Cannot change the state of 'mobilevms' to INSTALLED:
'mobilevms' ran into an error:
cannot import a Python module 'nox.netapps.mobilevms.mobilevms':
ImportError: No module named mobilevms.mobilevms
Now i have no idea for this, please help me...
best wishes
