Netboot test suite: PXE instead of qemu -kernel?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Just a quick thought.

The netboot tests currently create a server and client qemu image.

Why are we using -kernel and -initrd on the client-side qemu? Wouldn't testing PXE with the dhcp + tftp server on the server-side be more realistic?

Additionally we could use -net tap* instead of -net socket, which would allow brctl setfd of a large value like 20 seconds to simulate the link delay in the test suite.
