Revision History • 5/22/06 (JDD): • Created • 5/25/06 (JDD): • Updated LC physical interface counters • Updated LC Substrate and metalink counters.
Monitoring • Being able to monitor counters, queue lengths, etc on our running systems is an important part of what we do. • This allows us to do • compelling demonstrations • Easier debugging • Etc. • We need to define: • What counters and other values we want to maintain • Where to maintain them • How to retrieve them.

Monitoring • Entities/statistics we might want to monitor: • LC: • Users (Meta Net Developers/Providers): • Meta Links • # receive pkts/bytes • # transmit pkts/bytes • # Ingress drop pkts: queue overflow • # Egress drop pkts: queue overflow • Ingress queue length • Egress queue length • Us (Substrate network providers): • Physical Links: • These are available via RTM counters • # receive pkts/bytes • # transmit pkts/bytes • Substrate Links: • Some per metalink counters and the rest get aggregated into a common per substrate link counter. There is no total counter per substrate link. • # receive pkts/bytes • # transmit pkts/bytes • Total # counter touches per packet: 2 pkt cnts, 2 byte cnts, 2 queue lengths • 6 atomic increment SRAM operations per packet. • Do atomic operations take more SRAM cycles? • Worst case pkt rate: 16.45 Mpkts/s 98.7 M SRAM ops/sec • Perhaps we make the Physical and Substrate Link debug only.
Monitoring • NP Blade: • Meta Interfaces • # receive pkts/bytes • # transmit pkts/bytes • # drop pkts: queue overflow • Queue length (1 on enqueue, 1 on dequeue) • Meta Routers • # drop pkts: header check error • Per filter/route hits (limited number supported) pkts/bytes • # mem touches per packet: 3 pkt cnts, 3 byte cnts, 2 queue length • 8 atomic increment SRAM operations per packet. • Worst case pkt rate: 8.225 Mpkts/s 65.8 M SRAM ops/sec
