How to run PROX

Prox Configuration file in details:

Sample Run in openstack Env:

Note: This is for manual run, already PROX openstack helper scripts running this automatically.

Launch two instances in centos as mentioned in the above topic(PROX DPDK Tool installation)
one VM will be generator, other one will be SUT.
run the below python script(edit the gen, sut ip with correct one) in your machine, it will genearte the "parameters.lua" file

genDPIP = "192.168.250.3"
sutDPIP = "192.168.250.4"
ip = genDPIP.split('.')
hexgenDPIP=hex(int(ip[0]))[2:].zfill(2) + ' ' + hex(int(ip[1]))[2:].zfill(2) + ' ' + hex(int(ip[2]))[2:].zfill(2) + ' ' + hex(int(ip[3]))[2:].zfill(2)
ip = sutDPIP.split('.')
hexsutDPIP=hex(int(ip[0]))[2:].zfill(2) + ' ' + hex(int(ip[1]))[2:].zfill(2) + ' ' + hex(int(ip[2]))[2:].zfill(2) + ' ' + hex(int(ip[3]))[2:].zfill(2)
with open("parameters.lua", "w") as f:
    f.write('gen_hex_ip="'+hexgenDPIP+'"\n')
    f.write('sut_hex_ip="'+hexsutDPIP+'"\n')
    f.write('gen_ip="'+genDPIP+'"\n')
    f.write('sut_ip="'+sutDPIP+'"\n')

sut.cfg, gen.cfg files are present in https://github.com/nvf-crucio/PROX/tree/master/helper-scripts/openstackrapid
In the generator VM, copy the gen.cfg, parameters.lua in to /root directory
In the SUT VM, copy the sut.cfg, parmeters.lua to /root directory.

In the Generator VM, run prox as below,

[root@proxserver1 ~]# pwd
/root
[root@proxserver1 ~]# prox -f /root/gen.cfg -k

In the Received VM, run the prox as below,

[root@proxserver2 ~]# pwd
/root
[root@proxserver2 ~]# prox  -f /root/sut.cfg

Thats all

Prox Important Command Line options:

Prox can be used as two methods.

Standalone program
- Run the Prox with config file, feed the commands
Automated(Controlled by the script)
- Run the Prox in the server mode (-t)
- Client script connects with prox, and automate it

-f  <config file>
-t  listen in TCP Port 8474, act as server ( used by automation script form control it)
-o  curses or cli or none (curses - if you run standalone, cli - when it run as server, None)
-a  autostart all cores (default)
-e  dont autostart the cores

Test: 1% speed of 10G, 100Pkt size
======================
Gen:
----
start the prox:
prox -f /root/gen.cfg -e
-f <config file name>
-e <dont autostart> - it means we need to start the prox task manually using "start" cmd. Its preferred method for gen.

SUT or Swap machine:
--------------------
start the prox:
prox -f /root/sut.cfg


gen commands:
-------------
stop all
reset all
verbose 2
speed 1 0 1
pkt_size 1 0 100  #Add ZERO padding at the end of the packets.
start all
tot stats
stop all
