EXECUTING ROBUSTNESS TESTS
A Robustness test is done to monitor the behavior of the controller. Test
performance is measured depending on the response type. The response type and
number of malformed packet-in messages are configured using test parameters.
Valid packet-in messages along with malformed packet-in messages are sent to the
controller and the controller should handle and respond to valid packet-in messages.
There are no test modes in the Robustness Test.
To run a Robustness test:
1.
Click the
Performance
tab to display the Performance screen (Figure 25)
2.
Configure the Select Controller pane and the
Network Configuration
pane
(Figure 27).
For details of how to configure test parameters, refer to
Configure Test Parameters
section in
the
Performance Tests
chapter.
3.
To configure the robustness test parameters, go to the
Test Configuration
pane.
The
Test Configuration
procedures for Flow Mod messages and Packet out messages are
similar.
