P4RT-6.1: Required Packet I/O rate: Performance

Summary

Verify that both Packetin and Packetout traffic is handled by the P4RT server at the required rate.

Procedure

• Connect ATE port-1 to DUT port-1, ATE port-2 to DUT port-2.
• Enable the P4RT server on the device.
• Connect a P4RT client and configure the forwarding pipeline. InstallP4RT table entries required for traceroute, GDP and LLDP.
• Setup packetin GDP, LLDP and traceroute traffic from the ATE at the rate 200kbps, 100kbps and 324 pps respectively.
• Setup packetout packets for GDP, LLDP and traceroute from the P4RT client.
• Start both packetin and packetout traffic at the same rate simultaneously.
• Verify no packetloss for both directions of traffic.
• Verify the metadata ID and the value for all three traffic types on the P4RT client for packetin.
