A new parameter can be put in the *.test files so that the requested
traffic is not generated at once, but slowly increasing up to the
requested traffic. This is important for some SW switched that adapt and
learn from the applied traffic. When suddenly applying a high traffic,
the switch might not have enough time to learn and lose packets. Only
after a period of time (up to 10 seconds?), the switch can cope with the
traffic without packet loss. In order to get reproducible results in
this case with low packet loss, please put the parameter ramp_step in
the test section of the *.test file. The step is expressed in percentage
of a 10Gb/s traffic. If the parameter is not present, the load will be
immediately applied.
When the runrapid.py script is now finished, it also copies the prox.log
files from all the prox instances. In case of issues, please investigate
this log file.
When using background traffic, the tool will also print the average
background traffic for each step in the DEBUG log. In this way, you can
check that the background traffic is actually dealing with the same
amount of traffic as the foreground. The tool is printing the packet
reception rate of the background generators.
A bug was also fixed regarding the latency percentile reporting. When
using tests involving l2gen.cfg, the values of the percentile latency
were wrong.

Rapid scripts are communicating to the PROX instances. Rapid scripts
will not work with every PROX version sice sometime we change the
interface between the scripts and PROX. Hence we have a commit ID in
deploycentostools.sh to make sure we have a version of PROX that we can
work with. This change will now ensure we have a recent PROX version
when we use deploycentostools.sh to build an image.

Even if the latency thresholds were defined in the TST009 test files,
the values were ignored and replaced by 'inf', whcih means the
thresholds were not taken into account to define a successful step. If
the thresholds are not defined in the test files, they are still set to
'inf'.

In the port section of the PROX configuration file, a new parameter can
be added: all_rx_queues. The default is all_rx_queues=no.
When the rx port variable of a task is listing a port name, all rx
queues will be used when the all_rx_queues is set for that port.
If not set, only one queue of that port will be "consumed", each time
the port is referenced in the rx port variable.
When the all_rx_queues is set for a port, you should NOT reference that
port more than once in the rx port variables.

UDP and IP packet length and source UDP port and destination UDP port
were wrongly set for IPv6 packets.
In the *.test files, there is now an optional boolean field (ipv6) in
the [TestParameters] section. When set to true, the generator will use
the IPv6 packet layout to place the right values at the proper offset
in the packet. If not present or set to false, the IPv4 layout will be
used. Note also that packet size needs to be at least 84 bytes for IPV6
traffic since we need space for latency and other information in each
packet.
Packet loss ratio is now printed as a percentage of the total packets
sent.

Using vfio in stead of igb_uio. DPDK 2020.5 is NOT compiling the igb_uio
driver by default any more.
For the l3 mode, we are now using the new PROX vdev feature. This is
achieved by adding the vdev parameter in the port section of the PROX
config files. One of the advantages is that we can now ping a port
managed by PROX: the requests will be forwarded by PROX to the LINUX
stack, who will reply to the ping. A tap device is being created by PROX
to support this feature.
Installing old version of nasm since latest causes some issues.
If not pushgateway is being used, it should be commented out in the
config_file.
vfio is now loaded by specifying the module in /etc/modules-load.d
There is also an after_boot.sh script that will be run by
check_prox_system_setup.sh, which can be used for further configuration
of the instance after boot.
There is now also a file created /opt/rapid/system_ready_for_rapid by
the check_prox_system_setup.sh script. This file is created once all
configuration is done. The runrapid.py script will wait till this file
is created before executing any tests.

- vdev devices now support VLAN.
- kernel tap device can be configured with a netmask (/24 was
always used in previous version).
- when sending a (fake) packet to the kernel, this packet will now
not be routed by the kernel (i.e. it will leave through the
interface configured by PROX). This might change in the futture
when PROX supports multiple VLANs per port. But today it prevents
ARP being sent on management interfaces.
- Log error in case kernel unable to send packet.
- Added support for comments (';') in lua sections.
- Prevent duplication of local_ipv4 - should now be configured in port section
local_ipv4 in core section still supported

Following messages are now handled by PROX
- router_solicitation
- neighbour_solicitation
- router_advertisement
- neighbour_advertisement
The following parameters are supported (through the PROX config file)
- sub mode=ndp
This will enable handling of router and neighbour solicitation
and advertisement.
- local ipv6=xxxx:xxxx:xxxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
This will configure the local IPv6 address of the port.
This parameter is optional. If not specified, the local IPv6
will be calculated from the EUI.
- global ipv6=xxxx:xxxx:xxxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
This will configure the global IPv6 address of the port.
This parameter is optional. If not specified, the global IPv6
will be calculated from the EUI and the router prefix received
from the router.
- ipv6 router=yes
This will cause the core to behave as an IPv6 router
i.e. it will generate Router Advertisement messages
This is only useful in back to back cases, when no real
IPv6 router is present in the setup.
- router prefix=xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
The router prefix usedin the router advertisement
The prefix will be used by the node to build an IPv6 global
address in cases none were configured.
"Unsollicited NA" parameter has been added within the core/task section.
If set to yes (Unsollicited NA=yes), then an unsollicited neighbour
Advertisement is sent at startup
A same core/task cannot support both l3 and ndp mode.
Those messages will be generated or handled when submode
is set to "ndp":
- neighbour sollicitation
- neighbour advertisement
- router sollicitation
- router advertisement
An example configuration is provided: config/ipv6.cfg in which
port 0 / core 1 plays the role of the generator and port 1 /
core 2 plays the role of the swap.

In Prox configuration IMIX can be specified using the following syntax:
imix=pkt_size,pkt_size... Up to 127 different pkt sizes can be specified.
Through command line, the following syntax can be used
imix core_id task_id pkt_size,pkt_size... Up to 127 packet sizes can be specified.
When IMIX is enabled, PROX will loop through the list of packet sizes.
PROX supports two different submodes to handle pcap files.
In the 1st submode (default, no submode specified), timestamps from
the pcap file are ignored. In this submode IMIX is supported as well and each
packets in the pcap file will be generated with all IMIX sizes.
In the second submode, called pcap in gen mode, packets are generated at
the timestamp specified in the pcap file. This submode does not support IMIX.

A virtual device can be created adding the following option on the eal field within
the eal options section:
--vdev=net_ring0
This will cause a new (virtual) dpdk port to be created.
Such a device can then be used in a primary process as other DPDK devices i.e.
a [port x] section must be defined in the configuration file
For a secondary process, there is no need to add --vdev, but, of course
--proc-type=secondary (or --proc-type=auto) must be set within the eal field.
There are two ways to use such a virtual device in a secondary process
1) Using the DPDK port number. Note however that the DPDK port number of virtual devices
in the secondary process might not start from 0 and might hence have to be guessed
e.g. if using 2 virtual devices in primary process (--vdev=net_ring0 --vdev=net_ring1)
the port_id will be 0 and 1 in primary process and 2 & 3 in secondary process.
2) Using the port name, as defined in --vdev in the primary process. In this way,
no [port] section must be defined, and the virtual port names are directly used within
the "rx port" and "tx port" configuration e.g.:
rx port=net_ring0
tx port=net_ring1
Limitations
===========
There seems to be a PROX leak causing DPDK port id to increase when restarting the
secondary process (causing the secondary process configuration through port id more difficult).
As the primary process configures the port (including the number of rx and tx queues)
based on its config file, the secondary process can't setup its own queues.
Simple configurations (such as using gen or lat in primary, and swap in secondary) work as PROX
allocates a RX queue even in gen mode and a TX queue even in lat mode. Better configuration/support
for secondary process should be designed.
The use of dpdk port names is only supported by PROX within "rx port" and "tx port". It is not
supported by other configuration fields such as "tx ports from routing table".
The use of dpdk port names in "rx port" and "tx port" is limited to only 1 port.

For kernel supported devices, add for vlan tag support
This can be configured through port parameter:
vlan tag=<vlan tag>
If this parameter is set, a vlan tagged interface is created
on top of the tap device
This is only supported for vdev tap devices
When sending (untagged) packet to the tap device (through socket)
the tap should react in sending tagged packet
Note that receiving in L3 mode (w/o tap support) a tagged packet
is not yet supported.

Two cases where performance has been improved
- When using a gateway from a routing table (l3 submode),
store the mac within the next hop table, to avoid a hash_lookup.
This gives ~10% improvement.
- Read tsc only once per bulk (of up to 64 packets).
This gives ~10% improvement to swap, 4% to gen.
In addition a small fix has been added, preventig "No route" Error
to be written too aften.

The crlplane performance has been improved. This is necessary when
handling many IP in L3 mode (i.e. many ARP Requests/Replies).
Before this change, arp timer was updated as soon as an
arp request was tentativaly sent to the master. This means that,
if the request failed to be sent (e.g. ring full) we had to wait
arp_update_time (default 1sec) before trying again.
Now arp_update_time is only used when an arp reply is received.
If a request has been successfully sent, then the arp timer
is updated by 1 second (i.e. we will not send any arp reuest for this
IP within this second)
If we failed to send the request, then the timer is updated by 100 msec
which means we will wait 100 msec before trying again.
A too high value here would have meant that we have to wait a long time
before trying again. A too short value overload the master ring with
request to transmit ARP requests, so that master is unable to handle
arp replies.
arp_update_time is now also partly randomized to avoid all IPs to request
arp request at the beginning of the test. So if arp_update_time is 10 sec
then the configuration sets it to 5 to 15 sec.
As a final note the following parameter (already implemented before)
can be changed to improve ctrlplane performance (at the cost of dataplane)
ctrl path polling frequency=10000

This commit adds support for the creation of tap devices.
To create a tap device, and associate it with a DPDK port,
add within the port section:
vdev=<tap_name>
local ipv4=<ip_assigned_to_port>
<tap_name> will appear as a kernel network device, with an IP <ip_assigned_to_port>
ARP packets received from the network on the DPDK interface will be forwarded to the kernel.
1st packet which needs to be generated to a new IP will cause an IP packet
to be sent to the kernel (using socket sendto) forcing the kernel to send an ARP_REQUEST.
In this commit, there is no notification from the kernel about ARP table changes.
This is subject to further commits.
Two config files, gen_tap.cfg and swap_tap.cfg have been created. They work one against each other.
*** Note however that they do not work if running within the same host
(with the port being connected back to back) ***
This is due to the fact that the kernel would bypass the ports and use local interface...
