Introduction:
Test plan for LACP timeout tunable through IOCTL
Prepared by:
Lakshmi Narasimhan Sundararajan
Testing Strategy
Unit testing:
1. Form a LACP between 2 machine say (A) and (B). (A) is development machine and (B) to support functionality of LACP
2. Ensure by default, machine (B) sends LACP PDU in slow timeout.
3. Using ifconfig utility, tune machine (A) LACP timeout value to fast timeout.
4. After tuning ensure that machine (B) honour fast timeout for machine (A).
Dependencies:
Changes require on userland ifconfig and if_lagg (LAGG) driver
Documentation:
Updated the ifconfig.8 man page
