cntr Container Image

This directory contains the source code for a binary which can be run as a container on a network device to run the feature/container tests. It exposes a gRPC API that can be interacted with through ONDATRA in order to validate connectivity to specific gRPC services.

The build directory contains a Dockerfile for building the container.

The proto/cntr directory contains a protobuf that defines the gRPC API exposed by the container for test purposes.

Overview

Binary cntrserver implements the Cntr (Container) service which can be used to test base functionalities of a container hosting device. It implements a service that can:

• dial a remote address as specified by the Dial RPC
• respond to a ping request with a specified timestamp.

By running the CNTR server on one machine, A, one can validate:

• An external client can connect to a gRPC service running on A.

By running the CNTR server on two machines, A and B, one can:

• Validate that A can dial B via gRPC by calling the Dial RPC on A with B's address.
• Validate that A can send an RPC to B via gRPC by calling the Dial RPC on A with B's address and ping.
