IPERF problem in openstack between VMs?

+1 vote
2,131 views

In VEPC, in openstack I created three VM's and when I pump data using iperf, client is sending data in application layer and the data is going through our LTE stack in receiver side it is reaching till UE ( downlink ) but iperf server is not showing the receiving data, why?
Is it a problem with mtu size? What should I change in openstack?

Is it UDP or TCP, try with -u for UDP and -t for TCP.
Making a guess based on the problem statement, my analysis may be wrong -
TCP traffic is connection oriented traffic so most likely ACK are not there from UE hence IPERF is not showing....
It's UDP iperf command was
client : iperf -c 192.168.10.39 -i 1 -u -t 60 -b 10M -p 1234
server : iperf -s -i 1 -u -p 1234
Try with both TCP and UDP, to check if there is any difference
Also to make sure iperf is correct run the iperf between two linux machine and see if everything is fine then use the same.
Any update?
No difference between UDP and TCP same response
Were you able to run same iperf command between two linux machine and getting the desired result. Basically want to make sure if iperf command is correct, then only we should look into network issue as UE getting the packets so its less likely that network has issues...
yes i was able to get the desired output.The same when i run in VEPC  ( ie) in openstack using vm iperf server is not receiving  the downlink data in the UE side. But UE is receiving data. why?
I can only make a guess from here as I have no access of your system...
From the statement it seems UE is dropping the Data so not reaching to the server. Now reason could be many so narrow down the possibilities and then debug.
1. Connectivity between UE and iperf have issues.
2. message size UE is receiving beyond limit.
mtu size is approximate to 1550 with headers
Debug at UE by just sending few packets and you should be able to get the reasoning.  From outside its difficult to comment...

When I used mysql as the keystone's backend in openstack, iI found that the 'token' table saved 29 millions record (using myisam as engine,the size of token.MYD is 100G) and have 4 new token save per second. That result to the slow query of a token .since of inserting new token frequently, how could I set the configure to speed up the query operation.

the token's struct is id,expires,extra,valid,user_id with index {expires,valid}
and the select sql is select id,expires,extra,valid,user_id from token where valid=1 and expires >='XXXX-XX-XX XX:XX:XX' and user_id ='XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX';with often return 2 results.

Here is some db status data in a real openstack environment with 381 active VMs:

+-----------------------+-------------+ 
| Variable_name | Value | 
+-----------------------+-------------+ 
| Handler_read_first | 259573419 | 
| Handler_read_key | ********** |

| Handler_read_prev | 1235 | 
| Handler_read_rnd | 1951101 | 
| Handler_read_rnd_next | ********** | 
+-----------------------+-------------+ 

and

+-------------------------+------------+

| Qcache_free_blocks | 498 |

| Qcache_not_cached | ********** | 
| Qcache_queries_in_cache | 1681 | 
| Qcache_total_blocks | 4949 | 
+-------------------------+------------+

it seems that the 'insert' operation of saving new token affects the query buffer,and result of a low-level of query-hit's rate.

Please help me?

What is the difference between:

  1. using "the Command-line interface to the OpenStack APIs" through the command "openstack"
    and
  2. using the separate APIs of the different components (for example using the command-line interface to the Neutron APIs directly)?

Advantages and disadvantages?

What kind of different output came out from these two commands and what is the significance of each field of the output ?
