| # Face Benchmark |
| |
| **face-benchmark** is a program to test the performance of the face system. It runs |
| on a node between n consumer nodes and n producer nodes. It creates a left face and |
| a right face for each pair of consumer node and producer node respectively. The left |
| and right faces in each pair are tied to each other at the Interest/Data/Nack layer, |
| which means that anything received on the left face is sent to the corresponding |
| right face, and anything received on the right face is sent to the corresponding |
| left face. The program passively waits for an incoming connection from one side which |
| triggers an outgoing connection to the other side. The FacePersistency is set to |
| "on-demand" for all incoming faces, and "persistent" for all outgoing faces. |
| |
| The FaceUris for each face pair can be configured via a configuration file. Each |
| line of the configuration file consists of a left FaceUri and a right FaceUri |
| separated by a space. FaceUri schemes "tcp4" and "udp4" are supported. The left face |
| and right face are allowed to have different FaceUri schemes. All FaceUris MUST be |
| in canonical form. |
| |
| Usage example: |
| |
| 1. Configure FaceUris in `face-benchmark.conf` |
| 2. On the router node, run `./face-benchmark face-benchmark.conf` |
| 3. Run NFD on the consumer/producer node pairs |
