TCP Test

Usage:

1. Start the TCP test service, with ./test.sh
2. Start the python test with $ python test.py $GUEST_IP $HOST_IP

Guest and Host IP are optional (default are GUEST=10.0.0.42 HOST=10.0.0.1).

Script helps verify the TCP connections when the service is running.

To make outgoing internet connection work, correct forwarding rules needs to be setup.

Virtualbox

This test is developed on OS X using Virtualbox. Here's an recepie how to try it out.

1. make (remember to export LD_INC and AR_INC)
2. /<includeos_repo>/etc/vboxrun.sh IncludeOS_TCP_Test.img TCP_test
3. Kill VM.
4. Open Virtualbox => TCP_test => Settings => Network
5. Change Adapter 1 to use NAT => Advanced => Port Forwarding
6. Add the following rules:

$ vboxmanage showvminfo TCP_test
...
NIC 1 Rule(0):   name = Rule 1, protocol = tcp, host ip = 127.0.0.1, host port = 8081, guest ip = , guest port = 8081
NIC 1 Rule(1):   name = Rule 2, protocol = tcp, host ip = 127.0.0.1, host port = 8082, guest ip = , guest port = 8082
NIC 1 Rule(2):   name = Rule 3, protocol = tcp, host ip = 127.0.0.1, host port = 8083, guest ip = , guest port = 8083
NIC 1 Rule(3):   name = Rule 4, protocol = tcp, host ip = 127.0.0.1, host port = 8084, guest ip = , guest port = 8084

Now run the VM again (step 2).

To verify it: $ python test.py 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
