Background: the reference controller is reactive and installs exact match rules. By attempting to start a telnet session we make sure that the ARP caches and TCP flow rules are set up (in one direction at least) before the test starts. This is intended to help with #413

"""

|
Test bandwidth (using iperf) on linear networks of varying size,
|
|
using both kernel and user datapaths.
|
|
|
|
We construct a network of N hosts and N-1 switches, connected as follows:
|
|
|
|
h1 <-> s1 <-> s2 .. sN-1
|
|
| | |
|
|
h2 h3 hN
|
|
|
|
WARNING: by default, the reference controller only supports 16
|
|
switches, so this test WILL NOT WORK unless you have recompiled
|
|
your controller to support 100 switches (or more.)
|
|
|
|
In addition to testing the bandwidth across varying numbers
|
|
of switches, this example demonstrates:
|
|
|
|
- creating a custom topology, LinearTestTopo
|
|
- using the ping() and iperf() tests from Mininet()
|
|
- testing both the kernel and user switches
