Subject: Netboot test suite: PXE instead of qemu -kernel?
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2009 13:11:00 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A410CA4.8030506@redhat.com> (raw)

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.
