OpenFlow Switch Benchmarking Testing Extreme Networks Switch
6
Objective: Validate Switch Flow Table capacity Solution: § Pre-canned IxNetwork OpenFlow Switch
Flow Table Capacity QuickTest § Performs binary/step to find out the
maximum number of flow switch can store in its flow table.
Validate: • Switch ability to store flows (either in
software or hardware TCAM) • Switch ability to forward traffic (at line rate)
for the installed flows by analyzing comprehensive QuickTest report
Additional OpenFlow Benchmarking tests: • L2/L3 Address Learning Rate • Switch Flow Failover Performance • RFC2544 • RFC2889 • RFC3918

OpenFlow Switch Advanced Test v1.3 Flow Meter Validation on HP
7
Objective: Validate Switch ability to monitor and rate limit traffic on a per flow basis. Solution: Establish OFP 1.3 connection with DUT and install flow with associated rate meter and drop packet action beyond desired traffic rate threshold
Validate: Verify maximum packet rate and packet loss conform to the bandwidth profile given by the rate limit imposed by the DUT while it is policing the flow.

Testing an OpenFlow Controller with OpenDaylight and Loom
8
Objective: Validate Controller ability to discover large Switch topology connection and convergence changes Solution: • Emulated large number of OpenFlow switches with various topologies • Perform link/port down to create network convergence
Validate: Controller ability • To discover network topology links via LLDP by verifying the installed flows • To respond to network convergence by analyzing packet_out/Flow_mod from controller.

SDNSOLUTIONSSHOWCASE
Testing in a Virtualized Environment v1.3 Failover Validation of OpenvSwitch
9
Objective: Validate Switch ability to redirect traffic to high and low priority paths based upon flow modifications emulating dynamic changes in the network. Solution: IxNetwork Virtual Edition is connected to OVS 2.1.0 installed in cloud infrastructure. Ixia negotiates OFP 1.3 and pushes flow modifications to install multiple virtual paths. Validate: Verifies traffic destination, packet loss and packet loss duration correspond to config changes pushed via OFP.
