dialer/

Overview

The dialer scripts can be used to test Scope with a high number of containers and connections.

The dialer server is a TCP server that holds incoming connections forever.

The dialer client is a TCP client that opens n connection to a server and holds them forever.

The listener script starts a dialer server and prints its address for usage with the dialer script. The dialer scripts starts up to n (default 50) client containers, each opening a random (1-20) number of connections.

time-scope-probe then can be used to measure the scheduled time (utime + stime) of the scope-probe process on the host. The results can be used to compare performance under different scenarios/branches.

Usage example

# Start a listener
./extras/dialer/listener
Listening on :8082
IP addr + port: 172.17.0.2:8082


# Start the dialer script with a maximum of 10 dialer containers
# (default 50)
./extras/dialer/dialer 172.17.0.2:8082 10


# Start time-scope-probe to measure the scheduled time of scope-probe
# every 3 seconds (default 10 seconds) for 3 times (default 60 times)
sudo ./extras/dialer/time-scope-probe 3 3
...

Build dialer container
