2020-11-13Fix for latency reporting and log file handlerLuc Provoost3-5/+5
The latency histogram dat did not contain samples collected during the first measurement of each step. The maximum latency did take the first step into account. As a result, you might see a test run with a maximum latency not showing up in the latency histogram data. This has been fixed by also including the data from the first measurement in the histogram data. In some cases, we also reported the wrong speed from the last unsuccessful step. This is now fixed and we do report the speed from the last successful step. In rapid_log.py, a fix was added to execute the rollover on the file handler of the log file in all cases. In some cases, the file handler with index 0 was not the file handler of the log file. Change-Id: I6c2b16c21dd0ee17d1d14e46c4c544e185324256 Signed-off-by: Luc Provoost <luc.provoost@intel.com>

2020-10-19Support dataplane subnet mask & latency histogramLuc Provoost16-36/+76
There is a new parameter in the config_file: dataplane_subnet_mask. This parameter is added to the dataplane IP addresses and is needed by the Linux stack to deal with some protocols (e.g. ARP). If not present, the default value of 24 will be used. In the end, this will make sure that IP addresses in the rapid.env file will have this mask, e.g. /24 If you use other tools than createrapid.py to create the rapid.env file, make sure to add the mask. This commit also introduces a change when exiting: we only copy the prox.log files from the different prox instances in case we expect a new prox.log file to be created in these instances. When using a valid format.yaml file, the tool will now also send the latency distribution data (histogram) to the URL. The tool is now also checking the value of bucket_size_exp: it needs to be 11 or more. Change-Id: I633cdc64ef687fdb6625be1e7482a5a371f83e93 Signed-off-by: Luc Provoost <luc.provoost@intel.com>
2020-10-16Report failure when tap port is not mapped to real dpdk port.Xavier Simonart4-6/+20
When using "vdev=" in port section, a tap device and an additional dpdk port are created. In most cases, we still want to use a real DPDK device (i.e. bound to an interface such as virtio or a PF or a VF). PROX will now report by default an error when the used [port] is not a DPDK bound device. An additional parameter "virtual=yes" can be added in the port section in case one want to disable this error checking (e.g. specify additional parameter for the vdev device). This patch also fixes a potential endianess issue when configuring IP addresses. Change-Id: Iffdd9552308be3b77cfe2067630647acac2c01fe Signed-off-by: Xavier Simonart <xavier.simonart@intel.com>
2020-09-29New PROX version, background traffic reportingLuc Provoost18-86/+89
deploycentostools.sh is now installing a recent PROX version. When using background traffic, the tool is also reporting the total traffic that was handled by the NFVi stack, including foreground & background traffic. The use of the prox_socket and prox_launch_exit was also broken in a previous release and is now fixed. When setting prox_socket to false for a PROX instance, we will not create a socket connection to control that PROX instance. Setting this option to false is not meaningful for the generator PROX instances since we would not be able to control the behavior of the PROX generator during the test. You could use the generator against another non-PROX instance and then set prox_socket to false for that non-PROX instance. Default is true. prox_launch_exit is used to start and stop the PROX program inside the instance. Default is true. This is useful in case you want to start PROX manually to be able to inspect the PROX UI, but at the same time, let the rapid scripts control the testing.

2020-09-21Added support for multiple vlans in ipv4 vdev modeXavier Simonart13-82/+184
When the following conditions are met: - ipv4 - vdev enabled Then multiple vlans are supported. Multiple vlans can be configured using the vlan_tag option within the port section of the config file. Multiple (different) local_ipv4/prefix must then also be configured within the same section. Note that for ipv6 multiple vlans are not supported (yet) Also, when vdev is not enabled, multiple vlans are also not (yet) supported.

2020-09-21Added support for reporting packet (mis)order.Xavier Simonart18-48/+227
The "Latency" screen has been updated with 3 columns: - mis-ordered Count the number of mis-ordered packets. - extent: Gives an indication of how mis-ordered the packets are. Receiving packet "x - 5" after receiving packet "x" will cause an extent of 5. - duplicate: Count number of duplicate packets. Following commands have been added for the impair mode: - proba no drop: replaces the former "probability" command. Percentage of forwarded packets. So 99.5 means 0.5% of packet drop. - proba delay Percentage of delayed packets for the impair mode. - proba duplicate Percentage of duplicate packets. Similar parameters are supported within the config files: - proba no drop - proba delay - proba duplicate Note: it is recommanded to use the signature when measuring packet misorder, as otherwise unexpected packet would cause miscounts.

2020-09-16ramp generator traffic & prox.log copyLuc Provoost6-1/+75
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. Change-Id: Id3dd02ed5cab084414c717cf898b30e6980ddf31 Signed-off-by: Luc Provoost <luc.provoost@intel.com>

2020-08-18Add all_rx_queues port flag to use all rx queuesLuc Provoost3-0/+51
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.

2020-08-06fix: IPV6 packet generation, packet loss reportingLuc Provoost10-28/+70
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. Change-Id: I2136e87f3032348ae95b69052be7da8461c6303c Signed-off-by: Luc Provoost <luc.provoost@intel.com>

2020-07-05Adding vdev support and vfioLuc Provoost30-112/+179
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. Change-Id: Ic5c41af82642066af42134c3323297f5a06f6f72 Signed-off-by: Luc Provoost <luc.provoost@intel.com>

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.

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.

2020-05-29Added support for secondary process & virtual devicesXavier Simonart7-19/+118
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.

2020-05-29Fix mbuf leak and stop sending pseudo packetXavier Simonart3-12/+51
In addition to a mmbuf leak when receiving netlink routes packets this commit prevents sending the PROX pseudo packet i.e. the packet PROX sends to the kernel socket to have it generate an ARP request.

2020-05-29Added initial VLAN support with vdev devicesXavier Simonart4-77/+89
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.

2020-05-29Improve performance in l3 submodeXavier Simonart3-13/+17
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.
