I test multicast on openstack. I use external Router in this test.
Openstack Environment:
Havana (ML2 + OVS)
Test Environment:
VM1 is in Vlan 850. VM2,VM3,VM4 are in Vlan 820.
VM2 and VM3 are on the same compute node ci91szcmp003 , VM1 and VM4 are on another compute node ci91szcmp004.
Here is the topology:
The security Group I'm using is as following, UDP 5001 is the port which I used to test Multicast Packet:
Test Tool:
I use iperf to test Multicast. You can easily install this tool on CentOS with the following command:
yum install iperf
If you do not know how to use this tool, you can see "man iperf" for more detail.
Simulate Multicast Sender with the following command:
iperf -c 224.1.1.1 -u -T 32 -t 3 -i 1
Simulate Multicast Receiver with the following command:
iperf -s -u -B 224.1.1.1 -i 1
Test Case and Result:
VMs in the same Vlan
Case #1:
VM2 send multicast packet. VM3 and VM4 do not join the Multicast Group, use tcpdump to see if they can recei
