[mpls-linux-devel] mpls for linux monitoring "mpls monitor all" commnad

[Aimilios H. <aim...@ho...>]

Hi,

I recently installed mpls for linux 1.958 on a test-bed that consists of 4 =
routers and 3 clients. All the equipment are PCs running fedora core 2.6.22=
.1 which is required by version 1.958. I have made the configurations for m=
pls in ADRIAN Poppas website and set up the LSPs and traffic classes in ass=
ignment 3.2 and everything is working flawlessly and my vlc media player cl=
ients receive the videos from the server over mpls. Now I would like to mon=
itor the performance (throughput) of mpls in the ingress (e2, e1) or core (=
e3) routers. I see that prior to version 1.946 mpls in the developers guide=
 there was a program called mplsadm with which you configured your LSPs and=
 traffic classes and statistics like throuhgput was saved in files followin=
g a hierarchical structure inside the a certain directory directory (I thin=
k /sys/mpls or something). Now in version mplsadm has been changed to the m=
pls command. I also in the short help file of the mpls command that there i=
s a command structure called "mpls monitor ..." . I guess this is what repl=
aced the files for mpls statistics. I also found very little information on=
 how to use it. I see that if you type mpls monitor all this command should=
 record all the statistics possible that mpls can record. I used the comman=
d but it does not display anything when I am sending a video over mpls from=
 a server to a client. I use this facility both in the core and the ingress=
 routers. I was wondering weather this commands saves information to specif=
ic files becaue piping it to a text file does not work. I was also wonderin=
g if it requires the mpls debug option to be on because from the mplsadm co=
mmand in version 1.946 in the developers guide it seems that is required. C=
an anyone provide me with information on how to use this command to get sta=
tistics for mpls with this command


Regards,

Aimilios
