G'day,
I've put more work into a test framework around the qdisc tests, but
unfortunately flent doesn't work easily with Ubuntu LTS (
https://github.com/tohojo/flent/issues/232, which I think is an issue with
flent parsing the fping output ).
Results and graphs in this sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1T59QwEdNwJFm4TgDFA_NY98gicOm8ABXKvDsSIMz9ag/edit#gid=1203641125
Raw results of x2 test runs are here:
https://github.com/randomizedcoder/qdisc_results/blob/main/qdisc/report.csv
Each run:
https://github.com/randomizedcoder/qdisc_results/blob/main/qdisc/2023-10-13T18%3A45%3A45/report.csv
https://github.com/randomizedcoder/qdisc_results/blob/main/qdisc/2023-10-14T14%3A22%3A53/report.csv
Full iperf outputs are available too, for example:
https://github.com/randomizedcoder/qdisc_results/blob/main/qdisc/2023-10-13T18%3A45%3A45/nanopi-r2s/fq_codel/iperf/test/16_iperf/stdout
Logs for each run are also available, for example:
https://github.com/randomizedcoder/qdisc_results/blob/main/qdisc/2023-10-13T18%3A45%3A45/log.json
The code repo updated here: https://github.com/randomizedcoder/cake , with
thehttps://github.com/randomizedcoder/cake/blob/main/README.md which
explains how the test work.
Updated google doc is started here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fYKj3BS89aB9drg_DsSq289xSdVQhn1zUJYCj0WuCs0/edit?usp=sharing
Based on the questions on this list earlier, there is a folder with device
information for each of the devices
https://github.com/randomizedcoder/cake/tree/main/device_info
For example, the Pi4 and the Lichee Pi (risc-v) hardware layout is here:
- https://github.com/randomizedcoder/cake/blob/main/device_info/pi4/hwloc-ls-pi4.png
-
https://github.com/randomizedcoder/cake/blob/main/device_info/lpi4a/hwloc-ls-lpi4a.png
The switch has also been upgraded to a Cisco 3750x, which I think based on
the "show interface" output has a max queue size of 40 frames. The test
process clears the counters before each test and gathers the "show
interface" output at the end.
The Lichee Pi 4A doesn't look good (
https://wiki.sipeed.com/hardware/en/lichee/th1520/lp4a.html )

I really wish the flent was working, so I'll probably see if I can work out
the parsing.
Thanks,
Dave Seddon
