Quick Ping for Switch

JINHANG · October 2017

To test link reliability, we need quick ping on the switch. Here is example from other vendor:

SW01-CORE-L3-0205-F3> ping 192.168.12.21 source 192.168.12.19 rapid count 1000 size 1500

PING 192.168.12.21 (192.168.12.21): 1500 data bytes

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.!!!!!!!!!.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

--- 192.168.12.21 ping statistics ---

1000 packets transmitted, 996 packets received, 0% packet loss

round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 18.219/21.200/49.329/3.176 ms

OR

[admin@XXX-YYY] > tool flood-ping 10.10.205.3 count=1000 size=1500

sent: 1000

received: 1000

min-rtt: 16

avg-rtt: 21

max-rtt: 179

OR

plunger#ping 192.168.0.10 size 1500 df-bit repeat 1000

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 1000, 1500-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.0.10, timeout is 2 seconds:

Packet sent with the DF bit set

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (1000/1000), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/4 ms

Hi @JINHANG ,

We have an internal meeting to evaluate this idea.
In our current design, Switch already have the feature "Ping", so we don't have a plan to add the feature "Quick Ping" in our switch.

If you think Quick Ping is really necessary on the switch, may you share your real application or other concerns with us?

Thanks.
