Description
This test is intended to test test the function of jumbo frame support
How to test
- determine the nicmodel of the guest: nicmodel
- determine the max frame length supported by the nicmodel: max_frame_length (mtu)
- determine the max icmp packet length support by the nic_model: _max_icmp_packet_size = max_frame_length
- packet_size = [ 0, 1, 48, 64, 512, 1440, 1500, 1505, 4096, 4192, 32767, 65507 ]
- start the virtual machine with interface name of IFNAME
- determine the bridge whcih IFNAME is connected: bridge
qemu-kvm -net nic,model=nicmodel,macaddr={macaddr},ifname=IFNAME -net tap ...
- change the MTU of the tap device in the host
ifconfig IFNAME mtu 65521
- change the MTU of the ethernet device in the guest
ifconfig eth0 mtu _max_frame_length_
- if needed, add a dedicated route entry in the host [Resolution]
route add guest_ip IFNAME
- if needed, add an static entry for guest nic
arp -s guest_ip guest_mac
- ping the guest in the host with path mtu discovery
ping -M do guest_ip -s max_icmp_packet_size -c 10
- check the packet loss ratio, if the ratio is not zero, fail the whole cases.
- execute the following script in the guest
while true; do ifconfig eth0 mtu 1500; ifconfig eth0 mtu max_fram_length done
- and in the same time flood ping the guest in the host for five minutes:
ping -f -s max_icmp_packet_size
- ping the guest in the host and see if the packet loss ratio is zero, if not, fail the whole case
ping -c 2 guest_ip
- restore the mtu
ifconfig eth0 mtu 1500
Expected Results
- Test results meet the requirements above
