Session Traffic
---------------
The BNG Blaster is able to generate bidirectional unicast
session traffic for all addresses assigned to a session
(IPv4, IPv6 and IPv6PD).
.. image:: ../images/bbl_session_traffic.png
:alt: Session Traffic
This is a powerful tool to quickly verify that forwarding
is correctly setup and working.
Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following example shows how to enable session-traffic.
.. code-block:: json
{
"session-traffic": {
"ipv4-pps": 1,
"ipv6-pps": 1,
"ipv6pd-pps": 1
}
}
.. include:: ../configuration/isis.rst
This traffic is generated between the session and a network
interface. In case of multiple network interfaces, the preferred
network interfaces can be selected using the ``network-interface``
option in the corresponding access configuration.
Verification
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The final report includes detailed information
for session traffic.
.. code-block:: none
Session Traffic:
Config:
IPv4 PPS: 1
IPv6 PPS: 1
IPv6PD PPS: 1
Verified Traffic Flows: 3000/3000
Access IPv4: 500
Access IPv6: 500
Access IPv6PD: 500
Network IPv4: 500
Network IPv6: 500
Network IPv6PD: 500
First Sequence Number Received:
Access IPv4 MIN: 1 ( 1.000s) MAX: 2 ( 2.000s)
Access IPv6 MIN: 2 ( 2.000s) MAX: 2 ( 2.000s)
Access IPv6PD MIN: 2 ( 2.000s) MAX: 2 ( 2.000s)
Network IPv4 MIN: 1 ( 1.000s) MAX: 2 ( 2.000s)
Network IPv6 MIN: 2 ( 2.000s) MAX: 2 ( 2.000s)
Network IPv6PD MIN: 2 ( 2.000s) MAX: 2 ( 2.000s)
The statistics starting with ``Access ...`` correspond to traffic
received on the access interface (network->access) where those
starting with ``Network ...`` correspond to traffic received on
the network interface (access->network).
The ``First Sequence Number Received`` is used to measure the forwarding
convergence. The session traffic starts automatically as soo as the session
is established using the rate configured. All traffic flows in the BNG Blaster
start with the 64bit sequence number 1. Assuming the first sequence number
received for given flow is 5 combined with a rate of 1 PPS would mean that
it took between 4 and 5 seconds until forwarding is working.
