Run P4 without P4factory - A Simple Example In Tutorials.

前言

本文是我运行P4社区于Github开源教程Tutorials中的P4 SIGCOMM 2015 Tutorial一些实战小结,Github链接:

测试的例子:P4 SIGCOMM 2015 - Source Routing

实验环境:

Linux,Ubuntu 14.04 64bit。

实验步骤:

准备工作:

安装 bmv2 和 p4c-bm:

请移步我的另外一篇博客:

上面给出的博文中,还有一个小bug还在处理中。

安装pip:

请移步:

安装Mininet:

请移步:

安装其他工具:

命令:

sudo pip install scapy thrift networkx

关于thrift的安装遇到的一些问题:

准备完毕之后:

bmv2:/home/wasdns/bmv2

p4c-bm:/home/wasdns/p4c-bmv2

java -version(比较老的版本):

java version "1.7.0_79"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_79-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.79-b02, mixed mode)

python -V:

Python 2.7.6

thrift -version:

Thrift version 1.0.0-dev

就不一一列举了。

实验步骤

1.将Github上的Tutorials下载下来:

git clone https://github.com/p4lang/tutorials.git

2.更改env.sh脚本中的路径信息:

命令:

vim env.sh

env.sh脚本:

THIS_DIR=$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )

# ---------------- EDIT THIS ------------------
BMV2_PATH=$THIS_DIR/../bmv2
# e.g. BMV2_PATH=$THIS_DIR/../bmv2
P4C_BM_PATH=$THIS_DIR/../p4c-bmv2
# e.g P4C_BM_PATH=$THIS_DIR/../p4c-bm
# ---------------- END ------------------

我没有使用THIS_DIR的路径,直接修改为:

THIS_DIR=$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )

# ---------------- EDIT THIS ------------------
BMV2_PATH=/home/wasdns/bmv2
# e.g. BMV2_PATH=$THIS_DIR/../bmv2
P4C_BM_PATH=/home/wasdns/p4c-bmv2
# e.g P4C_BM_PATH=$THIS_DIR/../p4c-bm
# ---------------- END ------------------

:wq保存退出。

3.进入source_routing目录

root@ubuntu:/home/wasdns/tutorials# cd SIGCOMM_2015
root@ubuntu:/home/wasdns/tutorials/SIGCOMM_2015# cd source_routing/

4.对本实验的简单介绍

请参考:

5.解压solution.tar.gz

tar -zxvf solution.tar.gz

这里借用了barefoot提供的现成的解决方案,p4源程序source_routing.p4如下:

header_type easyroute_head_t {
    fields {
        preamble: 64;
        num_valid: 32;
    }
}

header easyroute_head_t easyroute_head;

header_type easyroute_port_t {
    fields {
        port: 8;
    }
}

header easyroute_port_t easyroute_port;

parser start {
    return select(current(0, 64)) {
        0: parse_head;
        default: ingress;
    }
}

parser parse_head {
    extract(easyroute_head);
    return select(latest.num_valid) {
        0: ingress;
        default: parse_port;
    }
}

parser parse_port {
    extract(easyroute_port);
    return ingress;
}

action _drop() {
    drop();
}

action route() {
    modify_field(standard_metadata.egress_spec, easyroute_port.port);
    add_to_field(easyroute_head.num_valid, -1);
    remove_header(easyroute_port);
}

table route_pkt {
    reads {
        easyroute_port: valid;
    }
    actions {
        _drop;
        route;
    }
    size: 1;
}

control ingress {
    apply(route_pkt);
}

control egress {
    // leave empty
}

并将该p4程序及其目录p4src拷贝至source_routing目录下:

mv /home/wasdns/tutorials/SIGCOMM_2015/source_routing/p4src /home/wasdns/tutorials/SIGCOMM_2015/source_routing/p4src1

cp -r /home/wasdns/tutorials/SIGCOMM_2015/source_routing/solution/p4src /home/wasdns/tutorials/SIGCOMM_2015/source_routing

6.将env.sh拷贝至source_routing目录下:

cp -r /home/wasdns/tutorials/env.sh /home/wasdns/tutorials/SIGCOMM_2015/source_routing

7.修改run_demo.sh脚本内容:

run_demo.sh脚本:

#!/bin/bash

# Copyright 2013-present Barefoot Networks, Inc. 
# 
# Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License");
# you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.

THIS_DIR=$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )

source $THIS_DIR/../../env.sh

P4C_BM_SCRIPT=$P4C_BM_PATH/p4c_bm/__main__.py

SWITCH_PATH=$BMV2_PATH/targets/simple_switch/simple_switch

CLI_PATH=$BMV2_PATH/tools/runtime_CLI.py

$P4C_BM_SCRIPT p4src/source_routing.p4 --json source_routing.json
# This gives libtool the opportunity to "warm-up"
sudo $SWITCH_PATH >/dev/null 2>&1
sudo PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$BMV2_PATH/mininet/ python topo.py \
    --behavioral-exe $SWITCH_PATH \
    --json source_routing.json \
--cli $CLI_PATH

source $THIS_DIR/../../env.sh

改为:

source $THIS_DIR/env.sh

8.添加python模块p4_mininet:

请移步:

9.修改command.txt:

在我第一次做这个实验的时候,h1发送的数据报是到达不了h3的,RunTimeCmd报错如下:

/home/wasdns/bmv2/tools/runtime_CLI.py --json source_routing.json --thrift-port 22222
Control utility for runtime P4 table manipulation
RuntimeCmd: Error: Invalid table name (ecmp_group)
RuntimeCmd: Error: Invalid table name (ecmp_nhop)
RuntimeCmd: Error: Invalid table name (forward)
RuntimeCmd: Error: Invalid table name (send_frame)
RuntimeCmd: Error: Invalid table name (ecmp_group)
RuntimeCmd: Error: Invalid table name (ecmp_nhop)
RuntimeCmd: Error: Invalid table name (ecmp_nhop)
RuntimeCmd: Error: Invalid table name (forward)
RuntimeCmd: Error: Invalid table name (forward)
RuntimeCmd: Error: Invalid table name (send_frame)
RuntimeCmd: Error: Invalid table name (send_frame)
RuntimeCmd: 

原因是因为我没有仔细阅读ReadMe,直接把另外一个P4程序的command.txt拿来用了,本实验的P4程序没有这个表的定义,自然报错。

依照ReadMe,了解以下两种command即可:

1. table_set_default <table_name> <action_name> [action_data]: this is used to set the default action of a given table

2. table_add <table_name> <action_name> <match_fields> => [action_data]: this is used to add an entry to a table

ReadMe中也给出了一个具体的依照P4程序编写命令的model:

于是,我依照上面的model以及本次实验所用的source_routing.p4程序,写了一个命令来修改command.txt,内容如下。

command.txt:

table_set_default route_pkt route

我也在Github中询问了这个问题,最后自己解决了:)A ping problem in SIGCOMM2015/source_routing

10.启动虚拟端口:

sh /home/wasdns/bmv2/tools/veth_setup.sh 

可以使用ifconfig命令验证是否开启。

11.运行脚本:

./run_demo.sh

12.在启动的mininet中打开h1和h3的终端:

xterm h1
xterm h3

13.分别在h1和h3终端上运行脚本:

先执行h3终端上的脚本:

./receive.py

再执行h1终端上的脚本:

./send.py h1 h3

实验结果:

在h1的xterm上输入文本信息,在h3的xterm上能够接收。但是在mininet中执行h1 ping h3是没有办法ping通的,由此可以证实P4交换机在处理数据报的过程中,进行了协议匹配:当easyroute_port与valid相匹配时,执行route()动作。

总结:

1.勤奋搜索。

2.要理解每一个操作步骤在整个实验中的作用,能够解决很多搜索解决不了的问题。
