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been replaced by ~.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.

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.

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.

Previously, there were 2 functions: run_flow_size_test and
run_fixed_rate. The functionality of run_fixed_rate is now added to
run_flow_size_test.

-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

- 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.
