[Bug 1756587] Re: mii-mon should have a consistent unit schema

 

Verification-done on bionic: netplan.io 0.36.2
Verification-done on artful: nplan 0.32~17.10.4
Verification-done on xenial: nplan 0.32~16.04.5

The updated documentation is available in the SRU'ed packages:

"""
[...] Unless otherwise specified, parameter values for time intervals should be expressed in milliseconds, but can also be expressed in seconds using a time suffix (such as "s" for seconds, "ms" for milliseconds).
"""

"""
              forward-delay (scalar)
                     Specify the period of time (in seconds) the bridge will remain in Listening and Learning states before getting to the
                     Forwarding state.  This field maps to the ForwardDelaySec= property for the networkd renderer.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Documentation is confusing to users wishing to tune bond and bridge parameters. This potentially affects all users of netplan.

  
  [Test case]
  1) Update the netplan.io package.
  2) Run 'man netplan'
  3) Verify that the documentation under "parameters" for bridges and bonds is clear that time-based parameters are in milliseconds unless otherwise specified by the individual parameter:

  For example, in the bonds section:
   - learn-packet-interval is in seconds
   - mii-monitor-interval, up-delay, down-delay, arp-interval  are in milliseconds

  
  [Regression potential]
  Change is limited to the manpage; there is no risk of regression there, except for a garbled manpage or missing file. Any new bugs in netplan behavior found after this SRU that can't be reproduced with the immediately previous version should be investigated as potential toolchain / build issues introduced by the new build required for the SRU.

  ---

  The docs say "Using the NetworkManager renderer, parameter values for
  intervals should be expressed in milliseconds; for the systemd
  renderer, they should be in seconds unless otherwise specified."

  This however fails to encapsulate the description of the network in a
  form abstracted from the renderer. We should have a scheme which is
  clear, has one and only one explicit form, and works with all
  renderers.
