Approach
What is the motivation for this PR?
Packet trimming tests rely on simulating congestion on an egress queue. For this, the tests are trying to apply a shaper that significantly slows down the amount of packets sent out of the target egress queue per second. We found that this shaper doesn't work on th5 with the current config.
How did you do it?
The solution to this is to add
"meter_type" packetswhen creating the blocking scheduler (shaper).How did you verify/test it?
Verified via
tcpdumpthat packet transmission rate was slowed down as expected on th5.Any platform specific information?
This issue was discovered when testing on th5
Supported testbed topology if it's a new test case?
