IPv6 EIGRP NTP
Well, the configuration did not go as smooth as I expected , encountered several issues , eg like some interfaces shutting down. The problem I have to research on is configuring NTP for IPv6 seems to be a little tricky requires ntp version. ????

IPv6 Bandwidth effects (EIGRP)
I have noted that different versions or setings of routers have a certain bandwidth level cut off where when reached routes will be changed.That's routes will be selected or changed when they drop below these levels. So far I have noted 3 different cutoff levels 64kbps available bandwidth of 37kbps ; 1180kbp available bandwidth of 885kbps and recently 125ks available bandwidth of 93kbps. This raises a question , is it because of the version of IOS or is it anything to do with router settings? This may need further investigations.

Running IPv6 networks
Today I will be running tests on test scenarios -IPv6 network. I will test effects of load and bandwidth on convergence speed.

Does Md5 affect convergence?
The ping tests were done on the same topology used on (14/07/12) my last post.
Md5 Authentication
on Routers in same EIGRP AS seems not to change the speed of convergence. As revealed by the ping results
above and wireshark results. There’s need to check whether it does on the other
routing protocols. I think it does on RIP.
Can you guys run the tests on the topology attached previously.
Wireshark was enabled to capture results on R2 interface S1/1 and R4 int S1/0 .
200 Pings were being sent from R5 to Lo1 address 1.1.1.1 of R1
Interface S1/0 of R2 would be shut during the pings.
This should be repeated 10 times and all results captured.
I will wait to hear your findings as well.
Thanks

I have found
out that the convergence time of the routers in the above topology can be calculated from the number of
pings lost multiplied by 2 which is the specified timeout. In the first output we lost 8pings x
2 =16seconds. I verified this also from the wireshark output which gave me 15.8840seconds. It took about 16seconds after
shutting down R2’s serial interface S1/2 for the routers to notice that and
begin to use an alternate route to R1’s loopback network 1.1.1.1 via R3. (R5àR4àR3àR2àR1)
Bandwidth
I have noted
that bandwidth would not affect path selection until the available bandwidth on
the preferred route falls below 885kps. If it does not fall below that the
preferred route would remain in use regardless of the huge differences say
7500kbps vs 885kbps.
From the
above outputs does not show any significant differences on the speed of
convergence at the moment. It needs to be tested with traffic flowing in the
network to figure out if the results will be different.
Sorry I have had difficulties in posting all my test result I will put them on google docs.

Progress
Well, I have been doing tests on the first/initial topology for the last two days. I will be posting the results, am currently analyzing the results so that I can put the results together with brief observations. I have been trying to rectify our last shortfall on our last capture of results- I have greatly improved that. I will also run the other routing protocols to capture the results for analysis.
Another disappointing issue is access to the lab, losing a lot of time waiting for security to open up lab- cards no working. I have experienced that today and Anthony was letting me in during the day for last two days (mon and Tues)

Yesterday work progress
Hi Egious we finally fixed and configured topology 3 right after you left but we didn't have enough time to do more testing as they lock down the whole 3rd floor last night.

Topology 3
Thanks guys for the time and effort that we have to meet up today and work on our project, still a bit of a problem to fix on our traffic gen but I hope we can make it work next time we meet, thank you

Hi guys, I think I have found an open source traffic generator which works with WireShark according to writeup. I will try to see if it can work on our topology. You can also try it.http://ostinato.org/ It might be what we need for now.
Sunday 1 July 2012
What next
My suggestion is to do same scenarios we did before with exactly the same tests, but this time using IPv6.
This is a web site we can use to convert easily our IPv4 address to IPv6:

Progress report
This week has been used to work on our topology 3 that has been covered more than other topologies, but later on each of these topology will be sufficiently covered to get convenient testing results so that the default behaviour can be can be mastered, and modified to improve the performance of each routing protocol.
EIGRP, RIPv2 and OSPF with all devices
in area 0 and next, with all devices in different area.

Testing Scenarios:
In the following steps, simple testing
tools have been used to check the path taken by a packet and see which
manipulation is the most beneficial for the routing protocol:
* CLI with "traceroute "command and "ping .... repeat" command
* Wireshark
More advanced tools will be used later
to generate specific packets.

Different test scenarios have been
made, using default behaviour of the routing protocol, or modifying some of the
characteristics (bandwidth, cost)
Most of the modification have been done
on R6, R5 and R4 so that packets could be brought to choose a defined path and
check which of the combination is the fastest.
But before applying any modification,
the default interfaces status have been verified:
|
R6#sh int s0/0/0
Serial0/0/0 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is GT96K Serial
Internet address is 172.16.1.2/30
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 128 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec,
reliability 255/255,
txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
<Output omitted>

R6#
R6#sh int s0/2/1

Internet address is 172.16.2.2/30
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec,
reliability 255/255,
txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
Encapsulation HDLC, loopback not set
<output omitted>
Available Bandwidth 1158 kilobits/sec
|
Testing Scenarios:
In the following steps, simple testing
tools have been used to check the path taken by a packet and see which
manipulation is the most benefique for the routing protocol.
Examples of tools used: Wireshark. CLI
(ping ... repeat, traceroute, ip route)
More advanced tools will be used later
to generate specific packets.
a. Using Default
behaviour
* R6#sh ip route
<Output omitted>
O
160.45.34.0 [110/128] via 172.16.2.1, 00:00:36, Serial0/2/1
Note: Cost = 128 to reach network
160.45.34.0 via 172.16.2.1
* R6#show ip route
(R6 s0/2/1 shutdown)
<Output omitted>
O
160.45.34.0 [110/909] via 172.16.1.1, 00:00:15, Serial0/0/0
Note: Cost = 909 to reach network
160.45.34.0 via 172.16.1.1
The first output in the next page
(MSDOS) indicates that path taken by packet using default bandwidth link R4 -
R6 (1544 kbps) and R5 - R6 (128 kbps), and R5 - R4 (1544 kbps) from Host
192.168.10.10 to host 172.30.20.20 is DLS1 - R1 - R2 - R4 - R6 - R7 - DLS2

b. Link R4 - R6
changed to 64 kbps
The second output indicates that
packet has changed path using DLS1 - R1 - R2 - R4 - R5 - R6 - R7 -
DLS2, preferring a faster link.
DSL2#ping
192.168.10.10 repeat 2000 (link R4-R6 band changed to 64kbps)

c. Changing cost from
128 to 1000 for R6 S0/2/1
* R6#sh ip route
<Output omitted>
O
160.45.34.0 [110/909] via 172.16.1.1, 00:00:51, Serial0/0/0
Note: when cost change
from 128 to 1000 for R6 s0/2/1, new path is 172.16.1.1 with cost 909
Verification of configured cost
:
R6# sh ip ospf int s0/2/1
Process ID 1, Router ID 172.16.2.2,
Network Type POINT_TO_POINT, Cost: 1000
* R6#sh ip route
(R6 s0/2/1 cost set to 1000; R6 s0/0/0 to 500 and R5 s0/0/1 to 500)
O
160.45.34.0 [110/1064] via 172.16.2.1, 00:00:09, Serial0/2/1

(2000/2000), round-trip min/avg/max = 117/125/160 ms
Note that with the case of different
area, the ether channel failed to forward packets. Is it the true behaviour or
is it a result of misconfiguration? The question will be minded later.

Testing Scenarios:
Two different testing tools have been
used to test network convergence:
* CLI with "traceroute "command and "ping .... repeat" command
* Wireshark
a.
A traceroute
command from DLS2 to host connected to ALS1 (192.168.10.10) has shown that the preferred
route for packets is through the ether channel media, the more faster link in
our network.
* DSL2#traceroute
192.168.10.10 (Host connected to ALS1)
Type escape sequence to abort.
Tracing the route to 192.168.10.10
1 10.0.0.1 0 msec 0 msec 9 msec
2 192.168.10.10 0 msec 9 msec 0
msec
Because our network is redundant, the
port channel disabled doesn't block our packet to get to destination. But which
path will be used depend on the metric on router R6. The smallest metric will
be preferred to a higher one as shown in the routing table on router R6.
* R6#sh ip route
<Output omitted>
160.45.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 2
subnets, 2 masks
D
160.45.0.0/16 [90/2681856] via 172.16.2.1, 01:45:55, Serial0/2/1
The preferred path for the packet will
be then through R7 - R6 - R4 - R2 - R1 - DLS1.
The following command confirm this
preference

192.168.10.10 (with port-channel disabled)

From these statistics, we can notice
that the ether cannel link is much more faster than the redundant link.
It is able to process 527 packets per second when the redundant link need the
same time to process only 21 packets.
Note that the redundant link here is R7
- R6 - R4 - R2 - R1 - DLS1
Compared to OSPF with the
parameters parameters used (default or modified), from the Wireshark
statistics captured from these scenario, we can notice that EIGRP process in
average much more packets per second. But this result is not enough to build a
general conclusion.
More tests need to be done.
