For good performance on some platforms, we need the igb_uio driver. With
this change, the driver is compiled and insmod done during boot time.
When running the rapid scripts, the devbind.sh script is sent to the
instances (after replacing the string "MACADDRESS"). Make sure you
uncomment the proper line to chose which driver you want to use.

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.

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been replaced by ~.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.

The code has been rewritten in multiple classes and files for better
readability and maintainability. You should now also use Python3 to run
the scripts. Some of the variables in the config files have moved to
other sections. The pushgateway parameter moved to the [varia] section
of the rapid environment file.

-Renamed monitorswap.test into corestats.test. This is a more generic
test case that can monitor the core statistics of all PROX instances
-New portstats.test which can monitor the port statistics of all PROX
instances
-Removed the tasks parameter in the [DEFAULT] section of the *.test
files. Runrapid.py is now scaning the PROX configuration files to
automatically detect the PROX tasks that are being used.
-There is now an option to add the PushGateway parameter in the
[Default] section of some *.test files. This will push the measurements
to the Gateway, so they can be used by tools like Grafana. The logging
of the data in a csv file has also been improved. Results can now be
found on the screen, in the RUN*.log files, in the *.csv files and are
being pushed to the PushGateway.
-In the *.test files, replaced the swapcores, irqcores and impaircores
by the cores parameter since they are not treated differently by the
code. For a generator, we are still using the gencores and latcores
parameters since we need to treat them differently in runrapid.py
-devbind.sh is removed from the repository since this file is now
created by runrapid.py
-renamed the rapidVMs.vms file into rapid.vms
-image is now built without ssh access for root. Only using centos user.
runrapid.py is now using centos user for ssh sessions. PROX tools are
strted using sudo
-using new DPDK, mb_lib and PROX versions as defined in
deploycentostools.sh
-installing missing yum-utils package in image
-added flowsize parameter to the impairtest
-added list of flowsizes to the fixed_rate testing (l3framerate.test)
-the irqtest can now loop through multiple Test Machines in stead of
only checking the irq of one. Note that we should have the same cores
parameter for all Test machines
-changes in prox_ctrl.py to support setting the speed of a generator on
a combination of mulitple cores and tasks. Also added the
multi_port_stats function to support the new portstats.test
-Updated version to 19.11.21
-Fixed some power of 2 in the flow table

The scripts are orrignally written to support an OpenStack deployment.
We are now making changes to support container environments, hence
renaming the directory to rapid.
