Figure 57: Robustness Flow Mod Test Configuration

Under

Test Type

, select

Robustness

Flow Measured By

, select the type of response the controller should send

to the emulated switches.

In the

Duration (sec)

box, type or select the test duration. Here, the test

duration is set to 5 seconds.

In the

Malform Field

, you can select the packet-in message fields that can be

malformed. They are:

OF Version: OF version in the OF header.

OF Header Length: Total length of the packet-in message in the OF header.

OF Message Type: Type of message in the OF header.

In the

OF Version

field, specify the value of the Malform field from the given

range.

Malform Pkts%

, specify the percentage of Malform packet-in messages

that will be sent along with normal packet-in messages. The error value
depends on the Malform field.
