2020-05-29Added initial support for NDP (IPv6)Xavier Simonart1-32/+126
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.

2020-05-29Added support for IMIX through config and command lineXavier Simonart1-121/+274
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.

2019-10-11Fix generation through pcap fileXavier Simonart1-20/+20
- When using "pcap file" argument in PROX config file in the gen mode (and no submode), packets were truncated to 8 bytes (and a warning printed) This has been fixed. - "Set value" command was checking whether offset was within first 1518 bytes unrespective to the mtu (e.g. jumbo packets). This has been fixed. - There was a limit of 64K packets loaded from a pcap file (which could be overwritten through PROX config). This limit has been removed - by default all packets from pcap are loaded - When pcap was loaded, memory was allocated to store the packet. However just enough memory was allocated, so that there was no way to change (increase) packet size through command line after that. Now memory is allocated to store up to mtu size - While "set value" command was acting on all packets, "pkt size" command was only changing the first packet. This has now been changed and both commands change all the packets. - A few other minor cleanups.

2019-08-05Fix reset valueXavier Simonart1-4/+11
In addition to resetting all values set by the user, reset value was also resetting internal configuration. It resulted that the src mac address in the outgoing packet was set to whatever was specified in pkt inline, which is wrong (by default src mac address should be set the the port mac address). Note that reset value reset any "set values" but does not reset the packet size. Change-Id: I9d1cd92be9f5814bd7b104932dd6ffe5df3b6edd Signed-off-by: Xavier Simonart <xavier.simonart@intel.com>
2019-06-14Increase window size for latency accuracyXavier Simonart1-5/+5
Accuracy of latency is obtained by writing TX accuracy for packet N in a later packet i.e. packet N + WINDOW. If this window is too small, packet N + WINDOW (conveying accuracy for packet N) might arrive before packet N, resulting in no accuracy for packet N. This change increases this window from 64 to 8K packets. This change should result in a higher number of packets used for latency measurements when packets are reordered. This change might have a performance impact as it uses more memory.

2019-03-08Fix PROX generator latencyXavier Simonart1-2/+18
When PROX fails to transmit packets (e.g. because switch or NIC is overloaded) some cleanup needs to be done related to packet id and latency. In addition, in some casesi, the clock estimate is slighly over-estimated which might result, in rare cases, in negative (hence very high) latencies, due to the extrapolation of timestamps. This has been workarounded bydecreasing the extrapolation, tolerating up to 1% clock estimate error Change-Id: I1ba17dfe0d5e2f9f9167f4f087ed0d96da1293c2 Signed-off-by: Xavier Simonart <xavier.simonart@intel.com>

2019-03-06PROX generator: performance optimization (2/4)Xavier Simonart1-47/+41
Improve PROX generator performance by pre-calculating bytes_to_tsc. This improvement is only implemented for non-pcap generator, where only few different packet sizes are usually generated. This change might have a negative performance impact in some cases, if many different packet sizes are generated, resulting in higher memory usage. This is the case for instance if random is applied to packet size. In addition, simplified the rx path, receiving now only MAX_PKT_BURST packets per handle loop. Before we were trying to empty the NIC looping on RX packets, ending up with many rx packets per handle loop. This was used to determine an lower bound for the time the packet was received. We now set the lower bound when less than MAX_PKT_BURST has been received. Change-Id: I1ce813d7e4ac1577ea412c590add5d6f94b36ec7 Signed-off-by: Xavier Simonart <xavier.simonart@intel.com>

2019-02-20Use link speed from device capability instead of negotiated speedaXavier Simonart1-0/+13
JIRA: SAMPLEVNF-151 link speed is used in gen and lat latency extrapolations. Using a link_speed value lower than the actual link speed might result in errors (e.g. negative latencies). Negotiated link speed might be reported slowly (as reported through irq) Hence it is better to use the device capability link speed. In addition, this remove the check for link speed changes in fastpath. Change-Id: I0f475fe5e139b046012de6cd0b710e4390735078 Signed-off-by: Xavier Simonart <xavier.simonart@intel.com>

2018-05-25Increase default mbuf size and code simplification/cleanupXavier Simonart1-4/+9
mbuf size was setup to achieve the best performance i.e. using the smallest mbuf and not segmenting packets. However this resulted in complex code, much dependent of the way the pmd are working e.g. a change(fix) in recent dpdk i40e implementation caused a 1782 (=1518+8+256) bytes mbuf to be too small to hold a 1518 bytes packets. Hence this change simplifies the mbuf size selection at the price of a potential decreases in performance - as more memory is now used. Except if jumbo frames are used, the mbuf size will now be the same for all modes. The packets will not be segmented except if jumbo frames are enabled. If jumbo frames are enabled, packets are by default segmented, except if the mbuf size is configured big enough in the config file.

2018-04-17Fix link speed when link is down at startup.Xavier Simonart1-4/+20
When link is down at startup, the link_speed returned by DPDK is 0. This results in un-optimized latency estimates in gen and lat. With this fix, lat and gen do nothing until link_speed is properly initialized, and use the right link speed in the fast path.

2018-02-27Fix potential crash if link speed is nullXavier Simonart1-1/+1
Link_speed could be null when prox started with the ports down. This was potentially causing a crash. Another task will need to update link speed when the port come up.

2018-01-24Fix extrapolation used in latency measurementsXavier Simonart1-3/+16
When doing latency measurements PROX takes into account the generation or reception of a bulk of packets. For instance, if PROX receives at time T 4 packets, it knows that the first packet was received by te NIC before T (the time to receive the other 3 packets, as they were received at maximum link speed). So the latency data is decreased by the minimum time to receive those 3 packets. For this PROX was using a default link speed of 10Gbps. This is wrong for 1Gbps and 40Gbps networks, and was causing for instance issues on 40 Gbps networks as extrapolating too much, resulting in either too low latencies or negative numbers (visible as very high latencies).

2017-12-06Fix checks done when changing generator pkt_sizeXavier Simonart1-10/+25
Different checks were done when setting the generator pkt_size. In case of wrong pkt_size (e.g. too big) an error was printed but the pkt_size was still set causing a potential corruption. In addition, in case of a packet size incompatible with some of the packet fields (e.g. latency data) PROX was panicing while this should not happen runtime for such an error.
