class_rate_limiter

TWO CLASS RATE LIMITER

This use case is an extension of the Packet Limiter

Run the GUI

Start the gui:

make start-gui

It will first compile the P4 program (the output is in ./p4build) and then start the GUI.

Then click on LOAD FSM and load the file EFSM_class_rate_limiter.json. Then click on GENERATE SWITCH CONFIG, this will trigger the download of a switch configuration. Now, you can override the file flowblaze_config.cli with the just downloaded file (make sure to keep the same name).

Run Mininet

Topology:

h1--s1--h2
     |
    h10 <--iperf server

Start Mininet by running:

make start-mn

Load the switch config:

make s1-load-config

Run the iperf test:

make h1-iperf-test-udp
make h2-iperf-test-udp

The bandwidth shown by iperf should be around 1Mbps for the first test and around 2Mbps for the second one.

You can start the switch log with: make s1-log and interact with the BMv2 Thrift CLI with make s1-CLI.

You can find more make target to interact with the dockerized Mininet in the Makefile.

Teardown

make stop-gui
make stop-mn
