接續前一天,探討了 CloudWatch Insight 上的 metrics 及 node 上的差異。本日將探討 Linux Virtual Ethernet Device(veth) [1] 及 Ethernet Device(eth) 上 RX/TX metrics 為何計算上會有些差異。

a. 透過 kubectl
命令下載 Nginx server 上的 512MB-file.txt
檔案。
$ kubectl exec -it netshoot -- curl ec2-34-243-235-xxx.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/512MB-file.txt --output ./512.txt
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed

b. 於 worker node 上擷取所有 interface 上的封包。
$ sudo tcpdump -i any -w host.pcap
c. 於 worker node 上擷取 netshoot Pod(process id 26636) 上的封包。
$ sudo nsenter -t 26636 -n tcpdump -i any -w container.pcap
透過 tshark
命令方式過濾 sequence number,以下隨機選取 sequence number 為 75297。分別於 host.pcap 及 container.pcap 上觀察到,從 Nginx 返回的封包,會先經由 eth0 192.168.55.245
在轉至 veth 至 Pod eth0 192.168.41.36
。
$ tshark -r ./host.pcap -Y "tcp.seq == 75297"
355 0 34.243.235.xxx -> 192.168.55.245 TCP 5860 [TCP segment of a reassembled PDU]
356 0 34.243.235.xxx -> 192.168.41.36 TCP 5860 [TCP segment of a reassembled PDU]
$ tshark -r ./container.pcap -Y "tcp.seq == 75297"
47 0 34.243.235.xxx -> 192.168.41.36 TCP 5860 [TCP segment of a reassembled PDU]
同時,使用封包數量來最比對,也能觀察到於 EC2 作業系統層級擷取的的數量遠大於 container 層級。
$ tshark -r ./container.pcap | wc -l
50824
$ tshark -r ./host.pcap | wc -l
80683
一般來說,我們可以藉由 ifconfig
或是 ip a
命令查看對應的 RX/TX packets、bytes、errors 及 dropped 資訊。
$ ifconfig
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 9001
inet 192.168.55.245 netmask 255.255.224.0 broadcast 192.168.63.255
inet6 fe80::839:dcff:fe28:ad03 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
ether 0a:39:dc:28:ad:03 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 136014 bytes 171417004 (163.4 MiB)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 35029 bytes 6289749 (5.9 MiB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
根據 VPC CNI plugin Proposal [3]。當一個 Pod 發出一個 request 到外部網路如 www.yahoo.com 網站,其流程如下:
來源: Proposal: CNI plugin for Kubernetes networking over AWS VPC
由上述流程,封包會先由 node 上 eth device 轉發至 veth 最終進入至 Pod 內 eth0 device,與實驗相符合。
接著,在 Linux 文件内提及了 ifconfig 主要讀取 /proc/net/dev
並針對個別網路裝置計算 RX/TX metrics[4],查看當前 EKS AMI 所使用的 kernel 5.4 版本,其中 dev_seq_printf_stats [5]函式所带入参数为網路裝置(struct net_device *dev
)。

其中在 git commit [6] 上增加 rx_dropped counter 提到:當一個 device 向 linux kernel network stack 提供一個 packet,會再進入 protocol stack 前丟棄。故確認當有封包經過 device 時,該 device 的 RX/TX counter 會計算相應的數值。以下節錄該 commit 的原文内容:
net: add a core netdev-gt; rx_dropped counter
In various situations, a device provides a packet to our stack and we drop it before it enters protocol stack :
- softnet backlog full (accounted in /proc/net/softnet_stat)
- bad vlan tag (not accounted)
- unknown/unregistered protocol (not accounted)
We can handle a per-device counter of such dropped frames at core level,
and automatically adds it to the device provided stats (rx_dropped), so
that standard tools can be used (ifconfig, ip link, cat /proc/net/dev)
This is a generalization of commit 8990f468a (net: rx_dropped
accounting), thus reverting it.
Amazon VPC CNI Plugin 訪問外網流程及 Linux 作業系統上 RX/TX 計算方式,封包皆會先經過 eth 再轉發至 veth,因此可以確認 eth 網路接口上的 RX/TX 也會重複計算到 veth 上的數值。
