Test Case: Switch Flow Failover Performance Test<br />
6. Prior to next control plane trigger event, perform Clear CP/DP Convergence<br />
Statistics in order to get accurate results for the next convergence event on the<br />
switch.<br />
Conclusions<br />
This test allows you to validate DUT’s ability to detect the failure and switch traffic to<br />
alternate path as fast as possible without significant packet loss. It also provides<br />
accurate traffic convergence measurements.<br />
Variables<br />
1. TrueView convergence test also provides accurate measurement for control<br />
plane to data plane convergence time. In order to perform this test, user should<br />
select control plane events check box in step#17. All other steps remain the<br />
same.<br />
Go to Statistics view and track by destination endpoint, you should notice CP/DP<br />
convergence Time column.<br />
2. Same test can be repeated for various traffic rates, number of flows and<br />
threshold values.<br />
