Multicast application demo

The purpose of the document is to illustrate the experiment done to validate multicast in a contiv network.

Steps to run sender and receiver multicast application between containers

For this experiement we will run 2 containers , one on each VM. We will create a vlan network and run a sender and receiver multicast application. For the purpose of this demo we will be using multicast application from /~https://github.com/leslie-wang/py-multicast-example

Step 1: Pull the contiv netplugin workspace from github

$ git clone /~https://github.com/contiv/netplugin
$ cd netplugin

Step 2: Create demo VMs

  • Start vms
  • Create multicast enabled network
$ make demo
$ vagrant ssh netplugin-node1
$ netctl net create contiv-net --encap=vlan --subnet=20.1.1.0/24 --gateway=20.1.1.254 --pkt-tag=1010

Step 3: Run a docker container in the network created and start multicast sender application.

$ docker pull qiwang/centos7-mcast
$ docker run -it --name=msender --net=contiv-net qiwang/centos7-mcast /bin/bash
root@9f4e7fd418c5:/# cd /root
root@9f4e7fd418c5:/# ./mcast.py -s -i eth0

Step 4: Login to netplugin-node2

vagrant ssh netplugin-node2

Step 5: Run a docker container in the network created and launch the multicast receiver

$ docker pull qiwang/centos7-mcast
$ docker run -it --name=mreceiver --net=contiv-net qiwang/centos7-mcast /bin/bash
root@564f7f4424c1:/# cd /root
root@564f7f4424c1:/# ./mcast.py -i eth0

('20.1.1.3', 35624)  '1453881422.973572'
('20.1.1.3', 35624)  '1453881423.977554'
('20.1.1.3', 35624)  '1453881424.978941'

where 20.1.1.3 is the IP assigned to container msender.

Steps to run sender and receiver multicast application between container and host VM

Step 1: Create demo VMs

  • Start vms
  • Create multicast enabled network
$ make demo
$ vagrant ssh netplugin-node1
$ netctl net create contiv-net --encap=vlan --subnet=20.1.1.0/24 --gateway=20.1.1.254 --pkt-tag=1010

Step 2: Create a port on the OVS with the network tag used for contiv-net

$ sudo ovs-vsctl add-port contivVlanBridge inb01 -- set interface inb01 type=internal
$ sudo ovs-vsctl set port inb01 tag=1010
$ sudo ifconfig inb01 30.1.1.8/24

Step 3: Launch a multicast sender application

$ ./mcast.py -s -i inb01

Step 4: Login to netplugin-node2

$ vagrant ssh netplugin-node2

Step 5: Run a docker container in the network created and launch multicast receiver.

$ docker pull qiwang/centos7-mcast
$ docker run -it --name=mreceiver --net=contiv-net qiwang/centos7-mcast /bin/bash
root@426b8cdbf5f8:/# cd /root
root@426b8cdbf5f8:/# ./mcast.py -i eth0
