A distributed packet forwarding implementation method, implementation system and automated testing method

Abstract

A distributed packet forwarding implementation method, implementation system and automated testing method, the implementation method includes the steps of: setting a plurality of virtual forwarding VFP single boards under the Linux environment, and the general protocol stack of the VFP single boards and Linux is connected through an internal interface A virtual switch; the general protocol stack and / or the VFP single board send to the virtual switch after adding a control message header on the message to be sent, and the control message header includes a source and a destination MAC address; at the same time or later, The general protocol stack and / or the VFP single board receives the message whose source and destination MAC addresses match, strips off the header of the message and forwards it. The distributed packet forwarding implementation system is connected to the general test platform as a virtual communication device to reduce the test cost, realize the rapid adjustment of the network topology by adjusting the configuration, improve the test efficiency, and then improve the research and development efficiency.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of automated regression testing in communication technology, in particular to a distributed packet forwarding implementation method, implementation system and automated testing method. Background technique [0002] At present, with the help of a universal test platform, automated regression testing of communication equipment can be quickly and conveniently implemented. However, due to the fixed location of the communication equipment, it generally needs to be installed on the rack in the laboratory, and the networking is not flexible enough. The tester needs to manually patch the fiber to change the network topology, which reduces the test efficiency. Especially when building a large-scale test environment, the use of real communication equipment is not only expensive in hardware costs, but also occupies a large number of test sites, resulting in high test costs and a lot of manpower and material resources. Especially in ...

Problems solved by technology

However, due to the fixed position of the communication equipment, it generally needs to be installed on the rack of the laboratory. The networking is not flexible enough, and the tester needs to manually jump the fiber to change the network topology, which reduces the test efficiency.

Especially when setting up a large-scale test environment, the use of real communication equipment not only has high hardware costs, but also occupies a large number of test sites, resulting in high test costs and requiring a lot of manpower and material resources

Especially in the research and development stage, a large number of communication devices are required for testing, which not only requires high research and development costs, but also relatively reduces research and development efficiency
