2020-10-19Support dataplane subnet mask & latency histogramLuc Provoost1-0/+1
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>
2020-07-05Adding vdev support and vfioLuc Provoost1-1/+1
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>
2020-05-28IPV6 testing & minor changes and fixesLuc Provoost1-1/+1
IPV6 test has been added. The generator will now generate IPV6 packets using NDP to resolve MAC addresses. The hex IP addresses in the inline definition of the packets in the cfg files is now calculated by a lua function called in parameters.lua. The hard-coded path /home/centos has been replaced by ~. An error in the speed calculations has been fixed. See the RapidTest class for details. The actual number of generated flows is now reported. If the requested number of flows is not a power of 2, the lowest power of 2 that is larger than the requested number of flows will be used and reported.

2020-05-15Support for imix packet sizesLuc Provoost1-1/+1
All packet size in the *.test files have been replaces with imix sizes. imix is now a list of packet sizes. If you want to run with only a pakcet size of 64, you need to specify a list containing only 1 size: [64]. You can also specify multiple imix values by specifying a list of list of sizes. The keyworkds in the test files are now imix & imixs. Change-Id: Iea47c0266b022133b7bbfc9a6811e3199ae41521 Signed-off-by: Luc Provoost <luc.provoost@intel.com>
2020-05-15createrapid.py is now using heat templates yamlLuc Provoost1-0/+8
yaml files have been added to the repo as an example. Please check the README explaining the output section reqs for this yaml file. There is also a new file (config_file): it also specifies which yaml files to use. multiple dataplane interfaces per VM can now be specified and will appear in the <STACK>.env file. An error in setting the packet size has been fixed (see set_udp_packet_size for packet size setting details) Change-Id: Ie89a4940521dac7dd3652acca477739abb9f5497 Signed-off-by: Luc Provoost <luc.provoost@intel.com>
