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.

Rapid scripts are communicating to the PROX instances. Rapid scripts
will not work with every PROX version sice sometime we change the
interface between the scripts and PROX. Hence we have a commit ID in
deploycentostools.sh to make sure we have a version of PROX that we can
work with. This change will now ensure we have a recent PROX version
when we use deploycentostools.sh to build an image.

Even if the latency thresholds were defined in the TST009 test files,
the values were ignored and replaced by 'inf', whcih means the
thresholds were not taken into account to define a successful step. If
the thresholds are not defined in the test files, they are still set to
'inf'.

UDP and IP packet length and source UDP port and destination UDP port
were wrongly set for IPv6 packets.
In the *.test files, there is now an optional boolean field (ipv6) in
the [TestParameters] section. When set to true, the generator will use
the IPv6 packet layout to place the right values at the proper offset
in the packet. If not present or set to false, the IPv4 layout will be
used. Note also that packet size needs to be at least 84 bytes for IPV6
traffic since we need space for latency and other information in each
packet.
Packet loss ratio is now printed as a percentage of the total packets
sent.

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.

Since runrapid.py is now supporting more than 1 dataplane interface, we
need to use a port index in the rapid.env file for the dataplane ports.
In k8sdeployment.py, we only support 1 dataplane port, but we are
writing dp_ip1 and dp_mac1 in the environment file. The copyright dates
are also updated. Some references to VM have also been changed to instance.

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.

background traffic, meaning the scripts will start a test between
machines and monitor packet loss, latency, etc., but at the same time,
the script will also start traffic on background machines. That traffic
will not be monitored. Each generator will generate the same ammoung of
traffic.

Fixing an error re-introduced in the swap.cfg file. The mempool size
needs to be bigger than the number of rx and tx descriptors (we need
some extra buffers in the mempool for other things than rx and tx
descriptors). The default number of tx and rx descriptors has been
changed in PROX to 2K. This initially went through the testing since
this is just giving a warning in the prox.log file for some PMDs. For
other PMDs, PROX will not start.
Also fixed an inconsistency in rapid.vms: name of the security group.

-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

A high number of RX descriptor can be helpful in avoiding
packet loss due to the core being interrupted.
This commit increases the default number of descriptors from 256 to 2K.
Those values are checked versus the minimum and maximum supported by the pmd.
Number of mbufs (mempool size) have been updated n config files to support this
default number of dsescriptors.
The number of descriptors can still be overwritten by the config file. However
those values must always remain within the limits reported by the pmd.

Warnings can be printed in the following cases:
- When not enough packets are taken into account for measuring packet
latency accuracy.
- When there us a potential network throughput issue, meaning the generator
is generating more packets than the the NIC can handle
- When the generator cannot generate the requested load
If there are no warnings for a certain measurement, nothing gets printed,

- 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.

Using l2 testing, where no ARP messages are being used, you can now run
a zero packet loss test. The binary search will continue to find the
speed where absolutely no packets have been lost during the test.
On top of that, the output has been reformatted to also show the
absolute and relative packet loss.
The *.test files have now 2 new parameters: drop_rate_treshold and accuracy.
When drop_rate_treshold is set to 0, this test will conclude successfull
when no packet has been lost whatsoever. If this is set to any other
number, the test will be successfull when the relative packet loss is
lower than drop_rate_treshold.
The new accuray parameter defines when the binary search will stop:
when the relative difference between the min and max of the search
window is lower than accuracy.
The irq testing is slightly modified to print the total number of
interrupts in a certain time bucket, not only as the number per second,
but when there is no interrupt whatsowever, we print '0' in stead of
