[Vyatta-users] how do i do a performance analysis of the vyatta router ?
Hi Everyone Thanks to this forum, I have been able to set up a network with a vyatta router at its center ( having eth0 eth1 and eth2 ) connected to the internet via eth0 and to two separate LANs through eth1 and eth2 respectively. the LANs are able to communicate with each other and with the WAN as well via the vyatta router . Now I want to do a performance analysis of this router . Can i get a detailed step by step documentation of how i can go about this ? How do i view the packets that are flowing through the router ? is there a thing like Wireshark in vyatta ? It would be great if someone can help me out with this issue.

Re: [Vyatta-users] how do i do a performance analysis of the vyattarouter ?
Although this is a bit dated, there are some performance tests run by users of the system on the community wiki as well: http://www.vyatta.com/twiki/bin/view/Community/OfrPerformance I think that the Tolly test that Stig refers to may be the most thorough test.

The software includes tshark which can be used like wireshark to view the packets, but for performance tests you'd want something outside of the router like a spirent or ixia. There's a performance whitepaper that might be useful: http://www.vyatta.com/documentation/whitepapers.php stig It would be great if someone can help me out with this issue.

Re: [Vyatta-users] how do i do a performance analysis of the vyatta router ?
If you just want to see how much data you can get it to route through how fast, iperf is a good quick and dirty test method. put a box behind eth1 and one behind eth2, run iperf in server mode on one, and run a client on the other and see what kind of throughput you can get. Dont forget to adjust the concurrent threads, you'll be disappointed by the results from a single thread... http://dast.nlanr.net/Projects/Iperf/ If you want more comprehensive performance testing, do as Stig suggested and check out ixia or spirent. -- Aubrey Wells Senior Engineer Shelton | Johns Technology Group 404.478.2790 www.sheltonjohns.com On Oct 21, 2007, at 2:34 PM, saptarshi moitra wrote: Hi Everyone Thanks to this forum, I have been able to set up a network with a vyatta router at its center ( having eth0 eth1 and eth2 ) connected to the internet via eth0 and to two separate LANs through eth1 and eth2 respectively. the LANs are able to communicate with each other and with the WAN as well via the vyatta router .

[Vyatta-users] IPSec VPN - almost working! Help please...
Hey guys, I was impressed with myself, actually able to get an IPSec tunnel up and running between vyatta and a Netgear router, but I must be missing a final step. The tunnel works just fine, and I made a static route for that subnet and can ping anything on the remote LAN just fine from the vyatta machine. However, I cannot get from the other side of the network (the remote side) back to the vyatta net. Is there anything I need to do on the vyatta end to allow packets to come on through?

Hey Dan, Just a thought, is it a firewall issue? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Dan Murray Sent: Sun 10/21/2007 6:21 PM To: vyatta-users@mailman.vyatta.com Subject: [Vyatta-users] IPSec VPN - almost working!

Not sure - I don't know enough about vyatta to know. I tried making a firewall rule that allowed that source network to the local destination network but it didn't seem to help. Any other ideas?
