Example: Configuring Benchmarking Tests to Measure SLA Parameters for E-LAN Services on an MX104 Router Using VPLS

date_range 01-Dec-23

This example shows how to configure benchmarking tests for the E-LAN services using BGP-based VPLS. The example covers the four benchmarking tests: throughput, frame loss, back-to-back frames, and latency.

Requirements

Note:

MX Series routers support only the reflector function in RFC2544-based benchmarking tests.

This example uses the following hardware and software components:

  • An MX104 3D Universal Edge Router (reflector)

  • Any MX Series router

  • Any ACX Series router (initiator)

  • Junos OS Release 15.1 or later for MX Series routers

Overview

Consider a sample topology in which an ACX Series router functions as an initiator and terminator of the test frames for an RFC2544-based benchmarking test. The ACX Series router is connected to a provider edge router, PE1 (an MX Series router). The PE1 router is configured with a VPLS routing instance and is connected over a Layer 2 network to another provider edge router, PE2 (an MX104 Series router). A simple VPLS network with BGP signaling is created between routers PE1 and PE2. The MX104 Series router also functions as a reflector to reflect the test frames it receives from the ACX Series router back to the initiator.

Benchmarking tests compute the performance attributes in the user-to-network interface (UNI) direction of the Layer 2 E-LAN service between the ACX Series router and the MX104 Series router. To measure SLA parameters for E-LAN services using VPLS, configure specific benchmarking tests. In this example, all four benchmarking tests (throughput, back-to-back frames, latency, and frame-loss) are configured.

Figure 1 shows the sample topology to perform all four RFC2544-based benchmarking tests for the UNI direction on a Layer 2 network using VPLS.

Figure 1: Layer 2 Reflection with Simple BGP-based VPLS TopologyLayer 2 Reflection with Simple BGP-based VPLS Topology

On the ACX Series router, ge-0/2/1.0 is the Layer 2 NNI interface and ge-0/2/0.0 is the Layer 2 UNI interface. For each benchmarking test configured on the ACX Series router, specify the source MAC address as 00:00:5e:00:53:11 and 00:00:5e:00:53:22 as the destination MAC address. Also, specify the VLAN ID as 512. On the MX Series router, ge-0/3/0.0 is the Layer 2 NNI interface and ge-0/2/1.0 is the UNI interface. On the MX104 Series router, ge-0/2/5.0 is the Layer 2 NNI interface and ge-0/3/1.0 is the Layer 2 UNI interface. The benchmarking tests are used to compute the performance attributes for an E-LAN service using VPLS.

Configuration

In this example, you configure the benchmarking tests for the UNI direction for a Layer 2 E-LAN service using VPLS between two routers (initiator and reflector) to detect and analyze the performance of the interconnected routers. The initiator and reflector routers are not directly connected to each other. The initiator is connected to a provider edge router (PE1), which is in turn connected to the reflector. In this example, the ACX Series router is the initiator, an MX Series router is PE1, and the MX104 router is the other provider edge router (PE2) and reflector. Start by configuring the initiator. On the ACX Series router, you first configure each test by specifying the test profile and the test attributes, and then define the test by associating the test with the test profile with the relevant attributes. You can then configure the interface. On the MX Series router, configure the VPLS parameters to enable VPLS on the router. On the MX104 Series router, configure the benchmarking parameters and the VPLS parameters.

Note:

When you configure Layer 2 reflection, you can specify the service type under test as ELINE if you want to simulate an Eline service by using bridge encapsulation.

CLI Quick Configuration

To quickly configure this example, copy the following commands, paste them in a text file, remove any line breaks, change any details necessary to match your network configuration, and then copy and paste the commands into the CLI at the [edit] hierarchy level:

Configuring Throughput Benchmarking Test Parameters on the ACX Series Router (Initiator)

Step-by-Step Procedure

The following configuration requires you to configure a test profile for the throughput test and reference the test profile in a unique test name. The test name defines the parameters for the throughput test to be performed on the ACX Series router.

To configure the throughput test parameters on the ACX Series router:

  1. In configuration mode, at the [edit] hierarchy level, configure a real-time performance monitoring service (RPM) instance and an RFC2544-based benchmarking test for the RPM instance.

    content_copy zoom_out_map
    [edit]
    user@host# edit services rpm rfc2544-benchmarking 
    
  2. Define a name for the first test profile—for example, tput—for the throughput test profile.

    content_copy zoom_out_map
    [edit services rpm rfc2544-benchmarking]
    user@host# set profiles test-profile tput
    
  3. Configure the type of test to be performed as throughput, specify the packet size as 256 bytes, and define the theoretical maximum bandwidth for the test as 600000 Kbps. You can specify any value from 1 Kbps through 1,000,000 Kbps for the maximum bandwidth.

    content_copy zoom_out_map
    [edit services rpm rfc2544-benchmarking profiles test-profile tput]
    user@host# set test-type throughput packet-size 256 bandwidth-kbps 600000
    
  4. Enter the up command twice to go to the [edit services rpm rfc2544-benchmarking] level in the configuration hierarchy.

  9. Specify the test mode for the packets that are sent during the benchmarking test as initiation and termination.

    content_copy zoom_out_map
    [edit services rpm rfc2544-benchmarking tests test-name tput-test]
    user@host# set mode initiate-and-terminate
    
  10. Configure the family type, bridge, for the benchmarking test and specify the direction, egress. Also, specify the source and destination UDP ports to be used in the UDP headers of the test packet.

    content_copy zoom_out_map
    [edit services rpm rfc2544-benchmarking tests test-name tput-test]
    user@host# set family bridge direction egress source-udp-port 200 destination-udp-port 400
    
  11. Specify the duration of each iteration in seconds, with a value from 10 seconds to 1,728,000 seconds, and specify the logical interface, ge-0/2/0.0, on which the RFC2544-benchmarking tests are run.

    content_copy zoom_out_map

Verifying the Results of the Benchmarking Test for Layer 2 ELAN Services Using VPLS

Examine the results of the benchmarking test that is performed on the configured service between the ACX Series router and the MX104 Series router.

Verifying the Benchmarking Test Results

Purpose

Verify that the necessary and desired statistical values are displayed for the benchmarking test that is run on the configured service between the ACX Series router and the MX104 Series router.

Action

In operational mode, enter the show services rpm rfc2544-benchmarking (aborted-tests | active-tests | completed-tests | summary) command to display information about the results of each category or state of the RFC 2544-based benchmarking test, such as terminated tests, active tests, and completed tests, for each real-time performance monitoring (RPM) instance.

Meaning

The output displays the details of the benchmarking test that was performed. For more information about the show services rpm rfc2544-benchmarking operational command, see show services rpm rfc2544-benchmarking topic in the CLI Explorer.
