Network Delay Simulator

nsim cross-connect enable-disable

nsim cross-connect enable-disable <interface-name-1> <interface-name-2> [disable]

Enable or disable network simulation cross-connect on two interfaces The network simulator must have already been configured, see the “nsim_configure” command.

Place the interfaces into a bridge group, to ensure that interfaces are in promiscuous mode.

To enable or disable network simulation cross-connect

nsim cross-connect enable-disable TenGigabitEthernet2/0/0 TenGigabitEthernet2/0
nsim cross-connect enable-disable TenGigabitEthernet2/0/0 TenGigabitEthernet2/0 disable

nsim enable-disable <intfc> <intfc> [disable]

nsim output-feature enable-disable

nsim output-feature enable-disable <interface-name> [disable]

Enable or disable network simulation output feature on an interface The network simulator must have already been configured, see the “nsim_configure” command.

To enable or disable network simulation output feature

nsim output-feature enable-disable TenGigabitEthernet2/0/0
nsim output-feature enable-disable TenGigabitEthernet2/0/0 disable

set nsim

set nsim delay <time> bandwidth <bps> packet-size <nbytes>
    [packets-per-drop <nn>][drop-fraction <f64: 0.0 - 1.0>]

Configure the network simulation cross-connect Once the simulator is configured, use the “nsim enable-disable” command to set up a cross-connect with the supplied delay characteristics.

The cross connect configuration may be changed without restarting vpp but it is good practice to shut down the interfaces.

To configure the network delay simulator:

set nsim delay 10.0 ms bandwidth 5.5 gbit packet-size 128

set nsim delay <nn> bandwidth <bb> packet-size <nn>
