docker version ... ok (1.9.1)
bgperf image ... ok
gobgp image ... ok
bird image ... ok
quagga image ... okUse bench command to start benchmark test.
By default, bgperf benchmarks GoBGP.
bgperf boots 100 BGP test peers each advertises 100 routes to GoBGP.
$ sudo python3 bgperf.py bench
run tester
tester booting.. (100/100)
run gobgp
elapsed: 16sec, cpu: 0.20%, mem: 580.90MB
elapsed time: 11secTo change a target implementation, use -t option.
Currently, bgperf supports BIRD and Quagga
other than GoBGP.
$ sudo python3 bgperf.py bench -t bird
run tester
tester booting.. (100/100)
run bird
elapsed: 16sec, cpu: 0.00%, mem: 147.55MB
elapsed time: 11sec
$ sudo python3 bgperf.py bench -t quagga
run tester
tester booting.. (100/100)
run quagga
elapsed: 33sec, cpu: 0.02%, mem: 477.93MB
elapsed time: 28secTo change a load, use following options.
-n: the number of BGP test peer (default 100)-p: the number of prefix each peer advertise (default 100)-a: the number of as-path filter (default 0)-e: the number of prefix-list filter (default 0)-c: the number of community-list filter (default 0)-x: the number of ext-community-list filter (default 0)
$ sudo python3 bgperf.py bench -n 200 -p 50
