The main.go resulting binary loads all the cni plugin configurations from
net.d performs the following on each:
- Unshares a new network namespace with a
sleepprocess. - Sets up networking for the process via the specific plugin passed.
- Enters the network namespace and calls get to
https://httpbin.org/ipjust to make sure network works. - Returns to the original namespace. Kills the process and cleans up the network.
This is not benchmarking network speed, it is benchmarking the creation, setup and deletion of networks in the network namespace.
Running the benchmarks is just done with go.
You will need to use sudo since it requires creating network namespaces.
Before testing the cilium, calico, flannel, and weave plugins you will want to run the
following command which will start etcd, calico, cilium, and weave containers:
$ make run-containers
NOTE: Both cilium and flannel use vxlan devices so you cannot run both at
the same time. You will need to test those separately. The Makefile will
automatically do this for you if you are using make benchmark.
