(networking-discuss Bcc''ed) Good morning, The Crossbow team would like to invite you to participate in the project''s third and last phase of code review. The third phase of the review starts today, and will last for two weeks. It covers the following parts of the code: VLANs Link Aggregations Xen mac_datapath_setup All drivers

On OpenSolaris 2009.06 I created a flow, half a dozen VNICs, and I set some properties, and everything was working, then I rebooted my system and everything disappeared from show-vnic, show-flow, and show-prop. When I tried to re-create the objects, dladm said they already existed. While I could not see the objects, I could delete them. Example: # dladm show-vnic # dladm create-vnic -l bge0

Howdy, I just installed the crossbow snapshot from opensolaris.org, and bumped into an issue when attempting to create a virtual nic: $ dladm create-vnic -i 192.168.1.101 -d ni0 2 dladm: VNIC creation failed: No such file or directory (unknown diagnostic) When I truss the process, it looks like it''s failing when attempting to open the vnic pseudo-device: 100878/1:

(Bcc''ed to networking discuss). Hi All, Have enclosed man page draft for dlstat(1M) herewith. This is part of the effort to gain better visibility into network traffic in light of crossbow features like virtual NICs, interrupt vs. polling modes etc. This in turn would greatly assist network performance analysis. It is also aimed at segregating link/flow configuration from

Folks, I''m playing with maxbw on links (as opposed to flows) in Crossbow, and I have a couple of questions. First, the limts seem only advisory. The first example has the main host talking to a zone that has 172.16.17.100 configured on znic0. When there is no maxbw, the throughtput is as expected; when maxbw is 55M the throughput only drops to 76 Mbps: # netperf -H

Howdy, I just finished reading through the Crossbow presentation: http://blogs.sun.com/sunay/resource/crossbow.pdf And have one question. If you create a virtual NIC with dladm: $ dladm create-vnic -d bge0 -m 0:1:2:3:4:5 -b 10000 1 Can you then add vnic1 directly to the zone? e.g.: zonecfg -z zone1 zonecfg:zone1> create zonecfg:zone1> set zonepath=/zones/zone1 zonecfg:zone1> add net

I opened a bug report earlier today but it doesn''t seem to have been added to the bugs database. I''m posting here in case one of the Crossbow developers might see it and confirm this behavior. Description Duplicate packets are generated whenever an aggregate is introduced into the network configuration. We''ve ruled out switch ports and physical bge interfaces as

Team, We are trying to install Crossbow on VirtualBox. Siva first tried it on Linux and reported it in Hyderabad Open Solaris User Group alias. http://opensolaris.org/os/project/hosug/ Today both of us tried it on VirtualBox running on OpenSolaris. Both attempts have the same results. a. Selecting Solaris Developer Express during boot process exits the installation. See this picture:

Hi, I maintain a driver for a 10GbE nic which supports multiple hardware tx/rx rings. We can steer rx packets into rings using the "standard" NDIS6 Toeplitz hashing on TCP port numbers, IP addresses, etc. We can also steer packets based on MAC address. Would this NIC be considered to be capable of supporting crossbow? Also, can crossbow do things like steer outgoing packets to the

The following is mainly a capture of parts of multiple off-line discussions within members of the Crossbow team (Gopi, Thiru, Roamer, May-Lin, Thirumailai, Nitin, KB, ...), I thought I''d open it up to other participants. Crossbow''s core scheduling involves switching a NIC (or individual Rx rings on the NIC) to polling mode. The receive interrupt will become not only rarer,

Hi, >From what I have read, the create-vnic feature in dladm is only available within the context of crossbow...? Specifically, what I am wondering is whether it is at all possible to successfully install crossbow on top of Sun''s "Standard/sunsolve supported" Solaris 10/08 rather than OpenSolaris, per. Se.... Is this at all feasible? Many thanks in advance.. Best

Recently I found that the mac_srs_rx_poll_ring thread may never stop in kernel, please see the following mpstat, cpu 2 is in 100% kernel usage, but no syscalls and no interrupts. CPU minf mjf xcal intr ithr csw icsw migr smtx srw syscl usr sys wt idl 0 0 0 0 300 100 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 100 1 14 0 0 134 68 134 1

Actually, it is not a list.. but just something that''ll be very useful to me in my business. If crossbow/virtual interfaces can provide a flow that can capture bandwidth usage over a period of time (including 95 percentile), that''ll be great! Is this possible? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

So, just to play with vnics with 106, I have... e1000g2 plumb''d with 192.168.85.10 vnic0 is created on top of e1000g2 with 192.168.85.22 I snoop on e1000g2 to see the traffic. I ping 192.168.85.22 and it works. I stop the snoop on e1000g2. I ping 192.168.85.22 and it doesn''t work. I start the snoop on e1000g2. I ping 192.168.85.22 and ping works. Is this a new feature with

Hello, I am a rather new user to OpenSolaris and I have been loving every minute of it. I have spent quite a lot of time looking around for bandwidth management features and Project Crossbow is just amazing. It is truly amazing compared to what Linux has to offer. I would like to use flowadm to do some bandwidth management on a tun interface. The problem is that it is not recognized by the dladm

Hi, I''m afraid I have some problems understanding how crossbow is supposed to work ;) On my machine (OpenSolaris, snv_111) I''m running VirtualBox with couple of linux / XP installation and additionally a zone with exclusive IP. My network configuration looks like this: [6]elsinore:~>dladm show-link LINK CLASS MTU STATE OVER bge0 phys 1500 up

How do I create a vnic that represents the factory assigned MAC address of my physical nic? The bge device in my system (x2100) appears to support 4 MAC addresses. The driver reserves the first as the ''primary/default'' address and allows manipulation of the other three via the MAC_CAPAB_MULTIADDRESS interface. I''d like to use vnics on this system, as I have Xen guest

Ok, I''m hoping this is a fairly trivial issue, and I''m missing something. I''m trying to use Solaris zones (Nevada Build 117) to act as a DMZ and a router, using exclusive IPs, VNICs (from Crossbow), and connecting to the internet (static IP from my ISP). I''ve got the DMZ working - that zone sees the internet, can do name lookups, ftp, telnet, ssh, etc etc etc.

Among other things, I run an http server on my home DSL line (6M/768kbit). The content includes several large image galleries, and when certain crawlers hit our server w/ multiple large image uploads, we end up with large ping time delays - sufficient to disrupt the kids'' on-line gaming. Attempts to control this with robots.txt has not be very successful; Solaris IPQoS appears quite
