About this task


Demo setup showing that traffic is not encrypted, and reverse-proxying is performed on the IPU.

In this demo, traffic is not encrypted, and reverse-proxying is performed on the IPU.
Note: The following prompt is used to indicate which part of the system to run the provided commands on.
  • test#: The server where the test script is executed.

Procedure

Run the test script.
For example:
test# cd /opt/ipu_workload_tls/src
test# python3 -m standalone.main --proxy soc --deploy-run -c 2000
where:
  • --proxy soc: Run reverse-proxying on the IPU.
  • --deploy-run: Deploy network/services and run workload.
  • -c 2000: 2000 connections that the wrk tool uses.
This command deploys network infrastructure and run the wrk tool.
