2019-10-13Increase the default number of rx and tx descriptors to 2KXavier Simonart1-1/+1
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.

2019-07-01Cosmetic change when printing warningsProvoost1-1/+3
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, suppressing an empty line Change-Id: Iee07c12142e28dcc0ac406bfed7626731ab08f98 Signed-off-by: Luc Provoost <luc.provoost@intel.com>
2019-06-30Multiple changes for June releaseLuc Provoost25-713/+861
- 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.

2019-06-28Change of openstackrapid directory nameLuc Provoost27-0/+0
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. Change-Id: Icaa2fad83c6da451eee733934151e98e9cd07de4 Signed-off-by: Luc Provoost <luc.provoost@intel.com>
2019-04-12Improved image building & new PROXLuc Provoost25-551/+764
Bug fixes for the script for building an image via the packer tool. This also installs a newer version of PROX with some bug fixes in PROX. The *.test files have been simplified. Also introduced a new file MachineMap.cfg to map test machines on actual VMs. Change-Id: I69445327ef0a907bc8c1566aaa60c733418c541e Signed-off-by: Luc Provoost <luc.provoost@intel.com>
2019-02-07Added use case "Forwaring Rate At Maximum Offered Load"Xavier Simonart2-0/+148
With this use case, the generator is generating at maximum speed We measure the forwarding rate. Throughput, latency, number of packets sent and received are printed every seconds. Change-Id: I05eb874d6ecefd58fb0c876bccf6a32872306076 Signed-off-by: Xavier Simonart <xavier.simonart@intel.com>
2019-01-07Improved image build & packet loss measurementsLuc Provoost22-84/+139
Reworked deploycentos1.sh and deploycentos2.sh which is installing a PROX version that deals with non data plane packet counting for improved packet loss measurements. Fixed some issues with the packer scripts. Change-Id: I64aab09d364ab5abbbc5fc75c73afcbe11fed681 Signed-off-by: Luc Provoost <luc.provoost@intel.com>
2018-10-11test improvements and fixes for image creationLuc Provoost13-69/+150
Updated and corrected the creation of an image containing the PROX tool with packer. Test will now only be declared successful when average and maximum latency are below a certain threshold. The start speed is now also a parameter of the *.test files. Change-Id: I1112555c87e7a857e1c699921ae08f61281642e1 Signed-off-by: Luc Provoost <luc.provoost@intel.com>
2018-06-17Adding centos.json to be used with packer to generate a VM with PROXLuc Provoost16-84/+328
Based on a CentOS cloud image downloadable from the web, you can now use packer to create an image that has DPDK and PROX installed in the proper directories. The VM is also tuned for guest VNFs. A service is also created to deal with the proper isolated_cpu settings for tuned. The service will also make sure uio and igb_uio are loaded. The prox_user_data.sh is not needed any more and hence deleted. ctrl-c of runrapid.py will now also stop prox in all the VMs so a new test can be started.

2018-04-03Added missing file: rapidVMs.vmsLuc Provoost1-0/+31
This file describes flavors, flavor meta data and boot info. All this info can be defined in the [Default] section and will then be used by to create all VMs. This data can also be specified in individual VM sections to overule the deault values per VM.

2018-03-27Replaced heat stack yaml files by individual server creationLuc Provoost14-928/+188
There is now a new file (rapidVMs.vms) describing how many VMs need to be created. You can specify the same flavor values in the [DEFAULT] section or specify specific flavors per VM. The heat stack yaml files are removed. Change-Id: Ic5ec485e8344a35e9ac9f6e8347adbc70520d10a Signed-off-by: Luc Provoost <luc.provoost@intel.com>
2018-02-21Fixed the calculation of dropped packets and other changesLuc Provoost11-93/+142
* Calculation of aboslute and relative dropped packets was wrong and is now fixed. * ./createrapid.py has now an extra option to select custom availability zones for the different VMs. * Fixed a typo to create the flavor: hw:cpu_thread_policy * The generator config files have now the packet id & signature fields. See PROX for more details on this. * ./runrapid has now a new option --configonly. Default is False. If set to True, all configuration files will be copied to the VMS, but the tests are not started. This allows you to go to the VMs and manually start PROX. * In addition to the average latency, maximum latency is now also displayed.

2018-02-12Zero packet loss testing has been added.Luc Provoost12-72/+277
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 '0.0' Change-Id: I8fafded0a225cbe1ba7ac61cd28e94d72099e4a0 Signed-off-by: Luc Provoost <luc.provoost@intel.com>
