UDSP Use Cases

Linux Routing

Because all use cases featured below rely on having multiple interfaces configured, it is important to make sure that linux routing is configured according to guidelines listed here: MR Cluster Setup

UDSPBehaviour
Prioritize one of PeerA NIDs on tcp

Prioritized nid is used when its net (tcp) is used on peerA

Priority of the nid is 0. Other nids' priority is -1 (default, no priority)

Every send toggles between the prioritized nid on tcp and the nid on tcp1 on the source. The remaining nid on tcp is not used

"netstat -i" command shows tx stats incrementing for eth2 and eth0 on peerA

Prioritize tcp1 as source on PeerA

Note that source NID rule is still in the list.

Prioritized tcp1 is used on PeerA

Priority of tcp1 is 0 (highest)

Every send on PeerA goes out tcp1. NID rule is overriden.

UDSPBehaviour

On PeerA, prioritize one of PeerB's NIDs on tcp 


Prioritized NID tcp NID on PeerA PeerB is used sent to when tcp is selected on peerA

Priority of the prioritized NID is 0 (lnetct peer show -v 4)

Sends on PeerA alternate between tcp and tcp1. When tcp is used, send goes to the prioritized dest NID

"netstat -i" command shows rx stats incrementing for eth2 and eth0 on peerB

Code Block
lnetctl udsp add --dst 192.168.122.103@tcp

      action:
          priority: 0

PeerB: use "lnetct net show -v" to verify the receive count going up on the prioritized NID 

PeerA: use "lnetct peer show -v 4" to verify dest NID priority.

...

UDSPBehaviour

On PeerA, prioritize tcp1 as dest net


Prioritized dest net (tcp1) is used to send from PeerA

Priority of the prioritized dest net is 0 (lnetct peer show -v 4)

Sends on PeerA use tcp1.

"netstat -i" command shows tx stats incrementing for eth2 on peerA

Code Block
lnetctl udsp add --dst tcp1

lnetctl udsp show
udsp:
    - idx: 0
      src: NA

PeerB: use "lnetctl net show -v" to verify the receive count going up on the nids of the prioritized dest net 

PeerA: use "lnetctl peer show -v 4" to verify dest net priority.
