This allows packet switching to be isolated +to particular hardware resources (CPUs, huge page memory allocation) without +kernel interrupt or context switching on the data plane CPU. + +Tenant networking leverages Open vSwitch accelerated with a fast user space +data path such. OVS with the Linux kernel module data path is used for all +other connectivity, such as connectivity to the external network (i.e. br-ex) +is performed via non-accelerated OVS. + +Scenario Configuration +====================== + +Due to the performance optimization done by this scenario, it is recommended to +set some performance settings in the deploy settings in order to ensure maximum +performance. This is not necessary unless doing a baremetal deployment. Note, +this scenario requires taking the NIC mapped to the tenant network on the +compute node and binding it to DPDK. This means it will no longer be +accessible via the kernel.

Under the +kernel options for Compute, edit as follows: + - hugepagesz: the size of hugepages as an integer, followed by unit M + (megabyte) or G (gigabyte). + - hugepages: number of hugepages of hugepagesz size. Huge page memory will be + used for OVS as well as each nova instance spawned. It is a good idea to + allocate the maximum number possible, while still leaving some non-huge page + memory available to other processes (nova-compute, etc). + - isolcpus: comma-separated list of CPUs to isolate from the kernel.
