+

+Guide to run QTIP:

+==================

+

+This guide will serve as a first step to familiarize the user with how to 

+run QTIP the first time when the user clones QTIP on to their host machine. 

+In order to clone QTIP please follow the instructions in the 

+installation.rst located in docs/userguide/installation.rst. 

+

+QTIP Directory structure:

+-------------------------

+

+The QTIP directory has been sectioned off into multiple folders to facilitate

+ segmenting information into relevant categories. The folders that concern

+ the end user are `test_cases/` and `test_list/`.

+

+test_cases/:

+------------

+

+This folder is used to store all the config files which are used to setup the

+ environment prior to a test. This folder is further divided into opnfv pods 

+ which run QTIP. Inside each pod there are folders which contain the config 

+ files segmented based on test cases. Namely, these include, `Compute`,

+ `Network` and `Storage`. The default folder is there for the end user who 

+ is interested in testing their infrastructure but arent part of a opnfv pod.

+

+The structure of the directory for the user appears as follows

+::

+

+  test_cases/default/compute

+  test_cases/default/network

+  test_cases/default/storage

+

+The benchmarks that are part of the QTIP framework are listed under these 

+folders. An example of the compute folder is shown below. 

+Their naming convention is <BENCHMARK>_<VM/BM>.yaml

+::

+

+  dhrystone_bm.yaml

+  dhrystone_vm.yaml

+  whetstone_vm.yaml

+  whetstone_bm.yaml

+  ssl_vm.yaml

+  ssl_bm.yaml

+  ramspeed_vm.yaml

+  ramspeed_bm.yaml

+  dpi_vm.yaml

+  dpi_bm.yaml

+

+The above listed files are used to configure the environment. The VM/BM tag 

+distinguishes between a test to be run on the Virtual Machine or the compute 

+node itself, respectively.

+

+

+test_list/:

+-----------

+

+This folder contains three files, namely `compute`, `network` and `storage`. 

+These files list the benchmarks are to be run by the QTIP framework. Sample 

+compute test file is shown below

+::

+

+  dhrystone_vm.yaml

+  dhrystone_bm.yaml

+  whetstone_vm.yaml

+  ssl_bm.yaml

+

+The compute file will now run all the benchmarks listed above one after 

+another on the environment. `NOTE: Please ensure there are no blank lines 

+in this file as that has been known to throw an exception`.

+

+Preparing a config file for test:

+---------------------------------

+

+We will be using dhrystone as a example to list out the changes that the 

+user will need to do in order to run the benchmark.

+Dhrystone on Compute Nodes:

+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

+

+QTIP framework can run benchmarks on the actual compute nodes as well. In 

+order to run dhrystone on the compute nodes we will be editing the 

+dhrystone_bm.yaml file.

+

+::

+

+  Scenario:

+    benchmark: dhrystone

+    host: machine_1, machine_2

+    server:

+

+The `Scenario` field is used by to specify the name of the benchmark to 

+run as done by `benchmark: dhrystone`. The `host` and `server` tag are 

+not used for the compute benchmarks but are included here to help the 

+user `IF` they wish to control the execution. By default both machine_1 

+and machine_2 will have dhrystone run on them in parallel but the user 

+can change this so that machine_1 run dhrystone before machine_2. This 

+will be elaborated in the `Context` tag.

+

+::

+

+  Context:

+    Host_Machines:

+      machine_1:

+        ip: 10.20.0.6

+        pw:

+        role: host

+      machine_2:

+        ip: 10.20.0.5

+        pw:

+        role: host

+

+     Virtual_Machines:

+

+The `Context` tag helps the user list the number of compute nodes they want

+ to run dhrystone on. The user can list all the compute nodes under the 

+ `Host_Machines` tag. All the machines under test must be listed under the 

+ `Host_Machines` and naming it incrementally higher. The `ip:` tag is used 

+ to specify the IP of the particular compute node. The `pw:` tag can be left 

+ blank because QTIP uses its own key for ssh. In order to run dhrystone on 

+ one compute node at a time the user needs to edit the `role:` tag. `role: 

+ host` for machine_1 and `role: server` for machine_2 will allow for 

+ dhrystone to be run on machine_1 and then run on machine_2.

+

+::

+    Test_category: "Compute"

+    Benchmark: "dhrystone"

+    Overview: >

+        ''' This test will run the dhrystone benchmark in parallel  on 

+        machine_1 and machine_2.

+

+The above field is purely for a description purpose to explain to the user 

+the working of the test and is not fed to the framework.

+        machine_1 and machine_2.\n

+

+Dhrystone on Virtual Machine:

+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

+To run dhrystone on the VMs we will be editing dhrystone_vm.yaml file. 

+Snippets on the file are given below.

+

+::

+

+  Scenario:

+  benchmark: dhrystone

+  host: virtualmachine_1, virtualmachine_2

+  server: 

+

+

+The `Scenario` field is used by to specify the name of the benchmark to 

+run as done by `benchmark: dhrystone`. The `host` and `server` tag are 

+not used for the compute benchmarks but are included here to help the 

+user `IF` they wish to control the execution. By default both 

+virtualmachine_1 and virtualmachine_2 will have dhrystone run on them 

+in parallel but the user can change this so that virtualmachine_1 run 

+dhrystone before virtualmachine_2. This will be elaborated in the 

+`Context` tag.

+::

+

+  Context:

+    Host_Machines:

+

+    Virtual_Machines:  

+      virtualmachine_1:

+        availability_zone: compute1

+        public_network: 'net04_ext'

+        OS_image: QTIP_CentOS

+        flavor: m1.large

+        role: host

+      virtualmachine_2:

+        availability_zone: compute2

+        public_network: 'net04_ext'

+        OS_image: QTIP_CentOS

+        flavor: m1.large

+        role: host

+

+The `Context` tag helps the user list the number of VMs and their 

+characteristic. The user can list all the VMs they want to bring up 

+under the `Virtual_Machines:` tag. In the above example we will be 

+bringing up two VMs. One on Compute1 and the other on Compute2. The 

+user can change this as desired `NOTE: Please ensure you have the 

+necessary compute nodes before listing under the 'availability_zone:' 

+tag`. The rest of the options do not need to be modified by the user.

+

+Running dhrystone sequentially (Optional):

+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

+

+In order to run dhrystone on one VM at a time the user needs to edit 

+the `role:` tag. `role: host` for virtualmachine_1 and `role: server` 

+for virtualmachine_2 will allow for dhrystone to be run on 

+virtualmachine_1 and then run on virtualmachine_2.

+

+::

+

+  Test_Description:

+    Test_category: "Compute"

+    Benchmark: "dhrystone"

+    This test will run the dhrystone benchmark in parallel on 

+    virtualmachine_1 and virtualmachine_2

+NETWORK THROUGHPUT TESTCASE

+

+QTIP uses IPerf3 as the main tool for testing the network throughput.

+There are two tests that are run through the QTIP framework. 

+

+Network Throughput for VMs

+Network Throughput for Compute Nodes

+

+For the throughout of the compute nodes we simply go into the systems-under-test 

+and install iperf3 on the nodes. One of the SUTs is used a server and the other as a 

+client. The client pushes traffic to the server for a duration specified by the user

+configuration file for iperf. These files can be found in the test_cases/{POD}/network/

+directory. The bandwidth is limited only by the physical link layer speed available to the server.

+The result file inlcudes the b/s bandwidth and the CPU usage for both the client and server.

+

+For the VMs we are running two topologies through the framework.

+

+1: VMs on the same compute nodes

+2: VMs on different compute nodes

+

+QTIP framework sets up a stack with a private network, security groups, routers and attaches the VMs to this network. Iperf3 is installed

+on the VMs and one is assigned the role of client while other serves as a server. Traffic is pushed

+over the QTIP private network between the VMs. A closer look in needed to see how the traffic actually

+flows between the VMs in this configuration to understand what is happening to the packet as traverses

+the openstack network.

+

+The packet originates from VM1 and its sent to the linux bridge via a tap interface where the security groups

+are written. Afterwards the packet is forwarded to the Integration bridge via a patch port. Since VM2 is also connected

+to the Integration bridge in a similar manner as VM1 so the packet gets forwarded to the linux bridge connecting

+VM2. After the linux bridge the packet is sent to VM2 and is recieved by the Iperf3 server. Since no physical link is

+involved in this topology, only the OVS (Integration bridge) is being benchmarked and we are seeing bandwidth in the range

+of 14-15 Gbps.

+

+For the topology where the VMs are spawned on different compute nodes, the path the packet takes becomes more cumbersome.

+The packet leaves a VM and makes its way to the Integration Bridge as in the first topology however the integration bridge 

+forwards the packet to the physical link through the ethernet bridge. The packet then gets a VLAN/Tunnel depending on the network

+and is forwarded to the particular Compute node where the second VM is spwaned. The packets enter the compute node through the physical

+ethernet port and makes its way to the VM through the integration bridge and linux bridge. As seen here the path is much more involved

+even when discussed without the mention of overheads faced at all the internfaces so we are seeing the results in the range of 2 Gbps.
