Re: [nox-dev] Measuring delay of links between switches

2012-01-16 Thread Bernd Wittefeld
Hi, so I decided to go with a statsmanager component that measures delay and packet loss for every link found by the discovery component. To measure delay, I will send ICMP echo requests and measure the RTT for the links to the switches and then send a packet from the controller to switchA

Hi Kyriakos, yes I know of the propagation delays of the control channels. I thought of measuring these by simple ICMP Echo Requests and extracting the RTT from that. Assuming that we have symmetric channels, I can get an estimate of these delays and use them in the delay calculation. The

2012-01-11 Thread Bernd Wittefeld
Hi, I am currently working on a component that needs a lot of statistical information about the current network state. In fact, I need the packet lLoss rate and the delay of single links between OpenFlow-switches. The PLR can be computed quite easily from the statistics that the switch gives
