Following is a short description on assigning priorities to a link (via dladm). Flows will have a similar mechanism (via flowadm). thanks, -venu ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The components associated with a link or flow, such as Soft Ring Sets, Soft Rings and squeues, have kernel threads processing inbound/outbound packets. The scheduler

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

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,

Smooth review. The case was approved unanimously by the members present. This is the summary of actions: . Advice to the team to follow on issue djr-02, clarifying the rationale for -p vs -a. . TCR - Add a format specifier (e.g. -F gnuplot) to show-usage . Two spec updates: - EOF of the VLAN PPA hack removal - Clarify mac_intr_t . Opinion fodder about the extensibility of the

(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

Hi, I was trying to download the Crossbow ISO from : http://opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow/snapshots/ under "Crossbow Beta iso images June 6 2008" and it failed. Does anyone know of a link which is working ? Thanks for any pointers ! Regards, Sanjeev.

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

Hi All, >From the design documents, I see there is an option "DLADM_VNIC_OPT_NODUPCHECK" for checking if the vnic MAC is unique on the same physical NIC. I have a question here. Does crossbow check if the MAC address is unique on the same subnet? E.g, create a vnic on hostA with hostB''s MAC address. Thanks, Karol

Hi, Pradeep: I believe you had some questions about modifying bandwidth for flows/VNICs. I believe that should be fine in the recently released bits, could you please check and lets know if you still have any questions about this. Bandwidth limits can be modified using: links: dladm set-linkprop -p maxbw=<value> linkname flows: flowadm set-flowprop -p maxbw=<value> flowname (I

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

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

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:

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

(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

Hi. I tried to send this to the mailing list, but it never showed up in the archives, so I''m trying the forum instead... I recently installed the Crossbow Beta October 31 2008 on my SunFire T1000, and let me first say that I''m very pleased with the functionality it provides. What''s not so pleasing is the fact that after installing this, the computer now get very

Hi the Crossbow team, I am testing my UV fastpath bits and I found several issues that need your suggestion: 1. dladm show-usage won''t work if UV fastpath is enabled. Since the link usage data are collected based on the statistics of the mac_client_impl_t, and UV fastpath skips the GLDv3 processing, that won''t be available. I don''t see a solution for this except

Folks, I just posted an updated Crossbow virtualization architecture document. The new revision is available at: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow/Docs/crossbow-virt.pdf The main changes are the addition of support for multiple MAC addresses per client, and an explicit separation between consolidation private and project private MAC API entry points. See in particular the

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

Hi, all I want to get some information of How xVM is integrated with Crossbow project. Do some buddies have those documents or blogs? Thanks --luke
