Upgrading kernel & installing SPRIGHT dependencies on the master node (node-0)

This guideline is for upgrading kernel and installing SPRIGHT dependencies (libbpf, DPDK RTE lib, ...) on the master node (node-0).

We will run SPRIGHT functions on the master node and run the load generator (Locust) on the worker node

• Note: It can also be done reversely, i.e., running SPRIGHT functions on the worker node and load generator on master node. Or even having a two worker node setup, and running SPRIGHT functions and load generator on different worker nodes.

Update Kernel of the master node

$ cd /mydata/spright

spright$ ./sigcomm-experiment/env-setup/001-env_setup_master.sh

# The master node will be rebooted after the script is complete
# Rebooting usually takes 5 - 10 minutes

Re-login to master node after rebooting (node-0)

Install libbpf, dpdk and SPRIGHT

$ cd /mydata/spright

spright$ ./sigcomm-experiment/env-setup/002-env_setup_master.sh
