All test files are now in the tests directory. All PROX config files
moved to the configs directory. When specifying a test on the
runrapid.py command line, you should now also mention the directory:
e.g. --test tests/basicrapid.test
In these test files, you need now to also include the configs
subdirectory when specifying the prox configuration that needs to be
used.
The --map parameter has also changed. It can still take the file name
of the map file, that specifies which PROX instance to use during a
test. On top of that, you can now also specify a list of indices of the
machines to be used during a test: e.g. --map [1,3].

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.

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.

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.

In case of kubernetes based deployments procedure for test environment
creation is different. Please refer to README.k8s file for more
details.
Dockerfile and dockerimage.sh files can be used to create a docker
image with prox.
There is separate createrapidk8s.py script which is used to create
appropriate number of PODs for testing based on the rapid.pods
configuration.
port_info is a helper application to identify port MAC address.

- Change inittest in warmuptest. This has now a warmuptime, warmupspeed,
packet size and flow size.
- Change in centos.json. This will now also copy deploycentostools.sh
during image building so that it can be used to re-compile prox in the VM
by typing "./deploycentostools.sh compile"
- runrapid.py parameters needing a file name, need to be complete file
names: no extensions will be added any more by the scripts.
- Changes in createrapid.py to handel the openstack CLI output in a
simpler way.
- The management interface of the VMs can now also be an SRIOV interface.
We have now an extra optional parameter in the VM sections of the
rapiVMs.vms file: SRIOV_mgmt_port
- Changed the name of some sections and keys in the environment file since
runrapid.py will not always communicate to OpenStack VMs. This could be
containers or any other (virtual) machine.
- The previous MachineMap.cfg has been renamed to machine.map
- A new test has been added: monitorswap is just showing the statistics of
a swap (virtual) machine, without generating any packets. This is useful
in situations where an external tester is used.
- Latency and core statistics can now be measured even if there are
multiple PROX cores and tasks running. A new parameter has been added in
the test files with following default value: tasks=[0]. During the
collection of statistics, all tasks in this list will be queried. It is
ok to have a non-existing task in such a query since it will be ignored.
- A --screenlog parameter was added for runrapid.py allowing for more
detailed output on the screen during debugging. No need to check the log
file.
- Previous tests to run multiple packet size with a given flow size and to
run multiple flow size, with a given packet size are now combined by
specifiying 2 lists: packetsizes & flows
- The screen output of this test has also been reworked with more
meaningful column names and the test result is now in the field "core
received". This allows also for faster termination of the test: When the
all packets sent by Gen NIC are received by the cores within the
thresholds for packet loss and latency, the test is now stopped, even we
were requesting more packets to be sent.

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.
