-======================
-Installing vswitchperf
-======================
-
-Downloading vswitchperf
------------------------
-
-The vswitchperf can be downloaded from its official git repository, which is
-hosted by OPNFV. It is necessary to install a ``git`` at your DUT before downloading
-vswitchperf. Installation of ``git`` is specific to the packaging system used by
-Linux OS installed at DUT.
-
-Example of installation of GIT package and its dependencies:
-
-* in case of OS based on RedHat Linux:
-
-  .. code:: bash
-
-     sudo yum install git
-
-
-* in case of Ubuntu or Debian:
-
-  .. code:: bash
-
-     sudo apt-get install git
-
-After the ``git`` is successfully installed at DUT, then vswitchperf can be downloaded
-as follows:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-   git clone http://git.opnfv.org/vswitchperf
-
-The last command will create a directory ``vswitchperf`` with a local copy of vswitchperf
-repository.
-
-Supported Operating Systems
----------------------------
-
-* CentOS 7.3
-* Fedora 24 (kernel 4.8 requires DPDK 16.11 and newer)
-* Fedora 25 (kernel 4.9 requires DPDK 16.11 and newer)
-* openSUSE 42.2
-* RedHat 7.2 Enterprise Linux
-* RedHat 7.3 Enterprise Linux
-* Ubuntu 14.04
-* Ubuntu 16.04
-* Ubuntu 16.10 (kernel 4.8 requires DPDK 16.11 and newer)
-
-Supported vSwitches
--------------------
-
-The vSwitch must support Open Flow 1.3 or greater.
-
-* Open vSwitch
-* Open vSwitch with DPDK support
-* TestPMD application from DPDK (supports p2p and pvp scenarios)
-
-Supported Hypervisors
----------------------
-
-* Qemu version 2.3 or greater (version 2.5.0 is recommended)
-
-Supported VNFs
---------------
-
-In theory, it is possible to use any VNF image, which is compatible
-with supported hypervisor. However such VNF must ensure, that appropriate
-number of network interfaces is configured and that traffic is properly
-forwarded among them. For new vswitchperf users it is recommended to start
-with official vloop-vnf_ image, which is maintained by vswitchperf community.
-
-.. _vloop-vnf:
-
-vloop-vnf
-=========
-
-The official VM image is called vloop-vnf and it is available for free download
-from OPNFV artifactory. This image is based on Linux Ubuntu distribution and it
-supports following applications for traffic forwarding:
-
-* DPDK testpmd
-* Linux Bridge
-* Custom l2fwd module
-
-The vloop-vnf can be downloaded to DUT, for example by ``wget``:
-
-  .. code:: bash
-
-     wget http://artifacts.opnfv.org/vswitchperf/vnf/vloop-vnf-ubuntu-14.04_20160823.qcow2
-
-**NOTE:** In case that ``wget`` is not installed at your DUT, you could install it at RPM
-based system by ``sudo yum install wget`` or at DEB based system by ``sudo apt-get install
-wget``.
-
-Changelog of vloop-vnf:
-
-  * `vloop-vnf-ubuntu-14.04_20160823`_
-
-    * ethtool installed
-    * only 1 NIC is configured by default to speed up boot with 1 NIC setup

-
-  * `vloop-vnf-ubuntu-14.04_20151216`_
-
-    * version with development tools required for build of DPDK and l2fwd
-
-.. _vsperf-installation-script:
-
-Installation
-------------
-
-The test suite requires Python 3.3 or newer and relies on a number of other
-system and python packages. These need to be installed for the test suite
-to function.
-
-Installation of required packages, preparation of Python 3 virtual
-environment and compilation of OVS, DPDK and QEMU is performed by
-script **systems/build_base_machine.sh**. It should be executed under
-user account, which will be used for vsperf execution.
-
-**NOTE:** Password-less sudo access must be configured for given
-user account before script is executed.
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-    $ cd systems
-    $ ./build_base_machine.sh
-
-**NOTE:** you don't need to go into any of the systems subdirectories,
-simply run the top level **build_base_machine.sh**, your OS will be detected
-automatically.
-
-Script **build_base_machine.sh** will install all the vsperf dependencies
-in terms of system packages, Python 3.x and required Python modules.
-In case of CentOS 7 or RHEL it will install Python 3.3 from an additional
-repository provided by Software Collections (`a link`_). Installation script
-will also use `virtualenv`_ to create a vsperf virtual environment, which is
-isolated from the default Python environment. This environment will reside in a
-directory called **vsperfenv** in $HOME. It will ensure, that system wide Python
-installation is not modified or broken by VSPERF installation. The complete list
-of Python packages installed inside virtualenv can be found at file
-``requirements.txt``, which is located at vswitchperf repository.
-
-**NOTE:** For RHEL 7.3 Enterprise and CentOS 7.3 OVS Vanilla is not
-built from upstream source due to kernel incompatibilities. Please see the
-instructions in the vswitchperf_design document for details on configuring
-OVS Vanilla for binary package usage.
-
-.. _vpp-installation:
-
-VPP installation
-================
-
-Currently vswitchperf installation scripts do not support automatic build
-of VPP. In order to execute tests with VPP, it is required to install it
-manually. Please refer to the official documentation of `fd.io`_ project to
-install VPP from `packages`_ or from the `sources`_.
-
-See details about :ref:`vpp-test`.
-
-.. _fd.io: https://fd.io/
-.. _packages: https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/Installing_VPP_binaries_from_packages
-.. _sources: https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/Build,_install,_and_test_images
-
-Using vswitchperf
------------------
-
-You will need to activate the virtual environment every time you start a
-new shell session. Its activation is specific to your OS:
-
-* CentOS 7 and RHEL
-
-  .. code:: bash
-
-     $ scl enable python33 bash
-     $ source $HOME/vsperfenv/bin/activate
-
-* Fedora and Ubuntu
-
-  .. code:: bash
-
-     $ source $HOME/vsperfenv/bin/activate
-
-After the virtual environment is configued, then VSPERF can be used.
-For example:
-
-  .. code:: bash
-
-     (vsperfenv) $ cd vswitchperf
-     (vsperfenv) $ ./vsperf --help
-
-Gotcha
-======
-
-In case you will see following error during environment activation:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-   $ source $HOME/vsperfenv/bin/activate
-   Badly placed ()'s.
-
-then check what type of shell you are using:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-   $ echo $SHELL
-   /bin/tcsh
-
-See what scripts are available in $HOME/vsperfenv/bin
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-   $ ls $HOME/vsperfenv/bin/
-   activate          activate.csh      activate.fish     activate_this.py
-
-source the appropriate script
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-   $ source bin/activate.csh
-
-Working Behind a Proxy
-======================
-
-If you're behind a proxy, you'll likely want to configure this before
-running any of the above. For example:
-
-  .. code:: bash
-
-    export http_proxy=proxy.mycompany.com:123
-    export https_proxy=proxy.mycompany.com:123

-
-Hugepage Configuration
-----------------------
-
-Systems running vsperf with either dpdk and/or tests with guests must configure
-hugepage amounts to support running these configurations. It is recommended
-to configure 1GB hugepages as the pagesize.
-
-The amount of hugepages needed depends on your configuration files in vsperf.
-Each guest image requires 2048 MB by default according to the default settings
-in the ``04_vnf.conf`` file.
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-    GUEST_MEMORY = ['2048']
-
-The dpdk startup parameters also require an amount of hugepages depending on
-your configuration in the ``02_vswitch.conf`` file.
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-    DPDK_SOCKET_MEM = ['1024', '0']
-
-**NOTE:** Option ``DPDK_SOCKET_MEM`` is used by all vSwitches with DPDK support.
-It means Open vSwitch, VPP and TestPMD.
-
-VSPerf will verify hugepage amounts are free before executing test
-environments. In case of hugepage amounts not being free, test initialization
-will fail and testing will stop.
-
-**NOTE:** In some instances on a test failure dpdk resources may not
-release hugepages used in dpdk configuration. It is recommended to configure a
-few extra hugepages to prevent a false detection by VSPerf that not enough free
-hugepages are available to execute the test environment. Normally dpdk would use
-previously allocated hugepages upon initialization.
-
-Depending on your OS selection configuration of hugepages may vary. Please refer
-to your OS documentation to set hugepages correctly. It is recommended to set
-the required amount of hugepages to be allocated by default on reboots.
-
-Information on hugepage requirements for dpdk can be found at
-http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/linux_gsg/sys_reqs.html
-
-You can review your hugepage amounts by executing the following command
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-    cat /proc/meminfo | grep Huge
-
-If no hugepages are available vsperf will try to automatically allocate some.
-Allocation is controlled by ``HUGEPAGE_RAM_ALLOCATION`` configuration parameter in
-``02_vswitch.conf`` file. Default is 2GB, resulting in either 2 1GB hugepages
-or 1024 2MB hugepages.

-'vsperf' Traffic Gen Guide
-===========================
-
-Overview
---------
-
-VSPERF supports the following traffic generators:
-
-  * Dummy_ (DEFAULT)
-  * Ixia_
-  * `Spirent TestCenter`_
-  * `Xena Networks`_
-  * MoonGen_
-
-To see the list of traffic gens from the cli:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ ./vsperf --list-trafficgens
-
-This guide provides the details of how to install
-and configure the various traffic generators.
-
-Background Information
-----------------------
-The traffic default configuration can be found in **conf/03_traffic.conf**,
-and is configured as follows:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    TRAFFIC = {
-        'traffic_type' : 'rfc2544_throughput',
-        'frame_rate' : 100,
-        'bidir' : 'True',  # will be passed as string in title format to tgen
-        'multistream' : 0,
-        'stream_type' : 'L4',
-        'pre_installed_flows' : 'No',           # used by vswitch implementation
-        'flow_type' : 'port',                   # used by vswitch implementation
-
-        'l2': {
-            'framesize': 64,
-            'srcmac': '00:00:00:00:00:00',
-            'dstmac': '00:00:00:00:00:00',
-        },
-        'l3': {
-            'proto': 'udp',
-            'srcip': '1.1.1.1',
-            'dstip': '90.90.90.90',
-        },
-        'l4': {
-            'srcport': 3000,
-            'dstport': 3001,
-        },
-        'vlan': {
-            'enabled': False,
-            'id': 0,
-            'priority': 0,
-            'cfi': 0,
-        },
-    }
-
-The framesize parameter can be overridden from the configuration
-files by adding the following to your custom configuration file
-``10_custom.conf``:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    TRAFFICGEN_PKT_SIZES = (64, 128,)
-
-OR from the commandline:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ ./vsperf --test-params "TRAFFICGEN_PKT_SIZES=(x,y)" $TESTNAME
-
-You can also modify the traffic transmission duration and the number
-of tests run by the traffic generator by extending the example
-commandline above to:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ ./vsperf --test-params "TRAFFICGEN_PKT_SIZES=(x,y);TRAFFICGEN_DURATION=10;" \
-                             "TRAFFICGEN_RFC2544_TESTS=1" $TESTNAME
-
-.. _trafficgen-dummy:
-
-Dummy
------
-
-The Dummy traffic generator can be used to test VSPERF installation or
-to demonstrate VSPERF functionality at DUT without connection
-to a real traffic generator.
-
-You could also use the Dummy generator in case, that your external
-traffic generator is not supported by VSPERF. In such case you could
-use VSPERF to setup your test scenario and then transmit the traffic.
-After the transmission is completed you could specify values for all
-collected metrics and VSPERF will use them to generate final reports.
-
-Setup
-~~~~~
-
-To select the Dummy generator please add the following to your
-custom configuration file ``10_custom.conf``.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-     TRAFFICGEN = 'Dummy'
-
-OR run ``vsperf`` with the ``--trafficgen`` argument
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ ./vsperf --trafficgen Dummy $TESTNAME
-
-Where $TESTNAME is the name of the vsperf test you would like to run.
-This will setup the vSwitch and the VNF (if one is part of your test)
-print the traffic configuration and prompt you to transmit traffic
-when the setup is complete.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    Please send 'continuous' traffic with the following stream config:
-    30mS, 90mpps, multistream False
-    and the following flow config:
-    {
-        "flow_type": "port",
-        "l3": {
-            "srcip": "1.1.1.1",
-            "proto": "tcp",
-            "dstip": "90.90.90.90"
-        },
-        "traffic_type": "rfc2544_continuous",
-        "multistream": 0,
-        "bidir": "True",
-        "vlan": {
-            "cfi": 0,
-            "priority": 0,
-            "id": 0,
-            "enabled": false
-        },
-        "frame_rate": 90,
-        "l2": {
-            "dstport": 3001,
-            "srcport": 3000,
-            "dstmac": "00:00:00:00:00:00",
-            "srcmac": "00:00:00:00:00:00",
-            "framesize": 64
-        }
-    }
-    What was the result for 'frames tx'?
-
-When your traffic generator has completed traffic transmission and provided
-the results please input these at the VSPERF prompt. VSPERF will try
-to verify the input:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    Is '$input_value' correct?
-
-Please answer with y OR n.
-
-VSPERF will ask you to provide a value for every of collected metrics. The list
-of metrics can be found at traffic-type-metrics_.
-Finally vsperf will print out the results for your test and generate the
-appropriate logs and report files.
-
-.. _traffic-type-metrics:
-
-Metrics collected for supported traffic types
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Below you could find a list of metrics collected by VSPERF for each of supported
-traffic types.
-
-RFC2544 Throughput and Continuous:
-
-  * frames tx
-  * frames rx
-  * min latency
-  * max latency
-  * avg latency
-  * frameloss
-
-RFC2544 Back2back:
-
-  * b2b frames
-  * b2b frame loss %
-
-Dummy result pre-configuration
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-In case of a Dummy traffic generator it is possible to pre-configure the test
-results. This is useful for creation of demo testcases, which do not require
-a real traffic generator. Such testcase can be run by any user and it will still
-generate all reports and result files.
-
-Result values can be specified within ``TRAFFICGEN_DUMMY_RESULTS`` dictionary,
-where every of collected metrics must be properly defined. Please check the list
-of traffic-type-metrics_.
-
-Dictionary with dummy results can be passed by CLI argument ``--test-params``
-or specified in ``Parameters`` section of testcase definition.
-
-Example of testcase execution with dummy results defined by CLI argument:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ ./vsperf back2back --trafficgen Dummy --test-params \
-      "TRAFFICGEN_DUMMY_RESULTS={'b2b frames':'3000','b2b frame loss %':'0.0'}"
-
-Example of testcase definition with pre-configured dummy results:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    {
-        "Name": "back2back",
-        "Traffic Type": "rfc2544_back2back",
-        "Deployment": "p2p",
-        "biDirectional": "True",
-        "Description": "LTD.Throughput.RFC2544.BackToBackFrames",
-        "Parameters" : {
-            'TRAFFICGEN_DUMMY_RESULTS' : {'b2b frames':'3000','b2b frame loss %':'0.0'}
-        },
-    },
-
-**NOTE:** Pre-configured results for the Dummy traffic generator will be used only
-in case, that the Dummy traffic generator is used. Otherwise the option
-``TRAFFICGEN_DUMMY_RESULTS`` will be ignored.
-
-.. _Ixia:
-
-Ixia
-----
-
-VSPERF can use both IxNetwork and IxExplorer TCL servers to control Ixia chassis.
-However usage of IxNetwork TCL server is a preferred option. Following sections
-will describe installation and configuration of IxNetwork components used by VSPERF.
-
-Installation
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-On the system under the test you need to install IxNetworkTclClient$(VER\_NUM)Linux.bin.tgz.
-
-On the IXIA client software system you need to install IxNetwork TCL server. After its
-installation you should configure it as follows:
-
-    1. Find the IxNetwork TCL server app (start -> All Programs -> IXIA ->
-       IxNetwork -> IxNetwork\_$(VER\_NUM) -> IxNetwork TCL Server)
-    2. Right click on IxNetwork TCL Server, select properties - Under shortcut tab in
-       the Target dialogue box make sure there is the argument "-tclport xxxx"
-       where xxxx is your port number (take note of this port number as you will
-       need it for the 10\_custom.conf file).
-
-       .. image:: TCLServerProperties.png
-
-    3. Hit Ok and start the TCL server application
-
-VSPERF configuration
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-There are several configuration options specific to the IxNetwork traffic generator
-from IXIA. It is essential to set them correctly, before the VSPERF is executed
-for the first time.
-
-Detailed description of options follows:
-
- * ``TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_MACHINE`` - IP address of server, where IxNetwork TCL Server is running
- * ``TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_PORT`` - PORT, where IxNetwork TCL Server is accepting connections from
-   TCL clients
- * ``TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_USER`` - username, which will be used during communication with IxNetwork
-   TCL Server and IXIA chassis
- * ``TRAFFICGEN_IXIA_HOST`` - IP address of IXIA traffic generator chassis
- * ``TRAFFICGEN_IXIA_CARD`` - identification of card with dedicated ports at IXIA chassis
- * ``TRAFFICGEN_IXIA_PORT1`` - identification of the first dedicated port at ``TRAFFICGEN_IXIA_CARD``
-   at IXIA chassis; VSPERF uses two separated ports for traffic generation. In case of
-   unidirectional traffic, it is essential to correctly connect 1st IXIA port to the 1st NIC
-   at DUT, i.e. to the first PCI handle from ``WHITELIST_NICS`` list. Otherwise traffic may not
-   be able to pass through the vSwitch.
- * ``TRAFFICGEN_IXIA_PORT2`` - identification of the second dedicated port at ``TRAFFICGEN_IXIA_CARD``
-   at IXIA chassis; VSPERF uses two separated ports for traffic generation. In case of
-   unidirectional traffic, it is essential to correctly connect 2nd IXIA port to the 2nd NIC
-   at DUT, i.e. to the second PCI handle from ``WHITELIST_NICS`` list. Otherwise traffic may not
-   be able to pass through the vSwitch.
- * ``TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_LIB_PATH`` - path to the DUT specific installation of IxNetwork TCL API
- * ``TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_TCL_SCRIPT`` - name of the TCL script, which VSPERF will use for
-   communication with IXIA TCL server
- * ``TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_TESTER_RESULT_DIR`` - folder accessible from IxNetwork TCL server,
-   where test results are stored, e.g. ``c:/ixia_results``; see test-results-share_
- * ``TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_DUT_RESULT_DIR`` - directory accessible from the DUT, where test
-   results from IxNetwork TCL server are stored, e.g. ``/mnt/ixia_results``; see
-   test-results-share_
-
-.. _test-results-share:
-
-Test results share
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-VSPERF is not able to retrieve test results via TCL API directly. Instead, all test
-results are stored at IxNetwork TCL server. Results are stored at folder defined by
-``TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_TESTER_RESULT_DIR`` configuration parameter. Content of this
-folder must be shared (e.g. via samba protocol) between TCL Server and DUT, where
-VSPERF is executed. VSPERF expects, that test results will be available at directory
-configured by ``TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_DUT_RESULT_DIR`` configuration parameter.
-
-Example of sharing configuration:
-
- * Create a new folder at IxNetwork TCL server machine, e.g. ``c:\ixia_results``
- * Modify sharing options of ``ixia_results`` folder to share it with everybody
- * Create a new directory at DUT, where shared directory with results
-   will be mounted, e.g. ``/mnt/ixia_results``
- * Update your custom VSPERF configuration file as follows:
-
-   .. code-block:: python
-
-       TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_TESTER_RESULT_DIR = 'c:/ixia_results'
-       TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_DUT_RESULT_DIR = '/mnt/ixia_results'
-
-   **NOTE:** It is essential to use slashes '/' also in path
-   configured by ``TRAFFICGEN_IXNET_TESTER_RESULT_DIR`` parameter.
- * Install cifs-utils package.
-
-   e.g. at rpm based Linux distribution:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-       yum install cifs-utils
-
- * Mount shared directory, so VSPERF can access test results.
-
-   e.g. by adding new record into ``/etc/fstab``
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-       mount -t cifs //_TCL_SERVER_IP_OR_FQDN_/ixia_results /mnt/ixia_results
-             -o file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,nounix
-
-It is recommended to verify, that any new file inserted into ``c:/ixia_results`` folder
-is visible at DUT inside ``/mnt/ixia_results`` directory.

-.. _`Spirent TestCenter`:
-
-Spirent Setup
--------------
-
-Spirent installation files and instructions are available on the
-Spirent support website at:
-
-http://support.spirent.com
-
-Select a version of Spirent TestCenter software to utilize. This example
-will use Spirent TestCenter v4.57 as an example. Substitute the appropriate
-version in place of 'v4.57' in the examples, below.
-
-On the CentOS 7 System
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Download and install the following:
-
-Spirent TestCenter Application, v4.57 for 64-bit Linux Client
-
-Spirent Virtual Deployment Service (VDS)
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Spirent VDS is required for both TestCenter hardware and virtual
-chassis in the vsperf environment. For installation, select the version
-that matches the Spirent TestCenter Application version. For v4.57,
-the matching VDS version is 1.0.55. Download either the ova (VMware)
-or qcow2 (QEMU) image and create a VM with it. Initialize the VM
-according to Spirent installation instructions.
-
-Using Spirent TestCenter Virtual (STCv)
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-STCv is available in both ova (VMware) and qcow2 (QEMU) formats. For
-VMware, download:
-
-Spirent TestCenter Virtual Machine for VMware, v4.57 for Hypervisor - VMware ESX.ESXi
-
-Virtual test port performance is affected by the hypervisor configuration. For
-best practice results in deploying STCv, the following is suggested:
-
-- Create a single VM with two test ports rather than two VMs with one port each
-- Set STCv in DPDK mode
-- Give STCv 2*n + 1 cores, where n = the number of ports. For vsperf, cores = 5.
-- Turning off hyperthreading and pinning these cores will improve performance
-- Give STCv 2 GB of RAM
-
-To get the highest performance and accuracy, Spirent TestCenter hardware is
-recommended. vsperf can run with either stype test ports.
-
-Using STC REST Client
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-The stcrestclient package provides the stchttp.py ReST API wrapper module.
-This allows simple function calls, nearly identical to those provided by
-StcPython.py, to be used to access TestCenter server sessions via the
-STC ReST API. Basic ReST functionality is provided by the resthttp module,
-and may be used for writing ReST clients independent of STC.
-
-- Project page: <https://github.com/Spirent/py-stcrestclient>
-- Package download: <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/stcrestclient>
-
-To use REST interface, follow the instructions in the Project page to
-install the package. Once installed, the scripts named with 'rest' keyword
-can be used. For example: testcenter-rfc2544-rest.py can be used to run
-RFC 2544 tests using the REST interface.
-
-Configuration:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-1. The Labserver and license server addresses. These parameters applies to
-   all the tests, and are mandatory for all tests.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_LAB_SERVER_ADDR = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_LICENSE_SERVER_ADDR = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_PYTHON2_PATH = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_TESTCENTER_PATH = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_TEST_SESSION_NAME = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_CSV_RESULTS_FILE_PREFIX = " "
-
-2. For RFC2544 tests, the following parameters are mandatory
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_EAST_CHASSIS_ADDR = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_EAST_SLOT_NUM = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_EAST_PORT_NUM = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_EAST_INTF_ADDR = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_EAST_INTF_GATEWAY_ADDR = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_WEST_CHASSIS_ADDR = ""
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_WEST_SLOT_NUM = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_WEST_PORT_NUM = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_WEST_INTF_ADDR = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_WEST_INTF_GATEWAY_ADDR = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_RFC2544_TPUT_TEST_FILE_NAME
-
-3. RFC2889 tests: Currently, the forwarding, address-caching, and
-   address-learning-rate tests of RFC2889 are supported.
-   The testcenter-rfc2889-rest.py script implements the rfc2889 tests.
-   The configuration for RFC2889 involves test-case definition, and parameter
-   definition, as described below. New results-constants, as shown below, are
-   added to support these tests.
-
-Example of testcase definition for RFC2889 tests:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    {
-        "Name": "phy2phy_forwarding",
-        "Deployment": "p2p",
-        "Description": "LTD.Forwarding.RFC2889.MaxForwardingRate",
-        "Parameters" : {
-            "TRAFFIC" : {
-                "traffic_type" : "rfc2889_forwarding",
-            },
-        },
-    }
-
-For RFC2889 tests, specifying the locations for the monitoring ports is mandatory.
-Necessary parameters are:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_RFC2889_TEST_FILE_NAME
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_EAST_CHASSIS_ADDR = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_EAST_SLOT_NUM = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_EAST_PORT_NUM = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_EAST_INTF_ADDR = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_EAST_INTF_GATEWAY_ADDR = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_WEST_CHASSIS_ADDR = ""
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_WEST_SLOT_NUM = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_WEST_PORT_NUM = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_WEST_INTF_ADDR = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_WEST_INTF_GATEWAY_ADDR = " "
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_VERBOSE = "True"
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_RFC2889_LOCATIONS="//10.1.1.1/1/1,//10.1.1.1/2/2"
-
-Other Configurations are :
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_RFC2889_MIN_LR = 1488
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_RFC2889_MAX_LR = 14880
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_RFC2889_MIN_ADDRS = 1000
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_RFC2889_MAX_ADDRS = 65536
-    TRAFFICGEN_STC_RFC2889_AC_LR = 1000
-
-The first 2 values are for address-learning test where as other 3 values are
-for the Address caching capacity test. LR: Learning Rate. AC: Address Caching.
-Maximum value for address is 16777216. Whereas, maximum for LR is 4294967295.
-
-Results for RFC2889 Tests: Forwarding tests outputs following values:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    TX_RATE_FPS : "Transmission Rate in Frames/sec"
-    THROUGHPUT_RX_FPS: "Received Throughput Frames/sec"
-    TX_RATE_MBPS : " Transmission rate in MBPS"
-    THROUGHPUT_RX_MBPS: "Received Throughput in MBPS"
-    TX_RATE_PERCENT: "Transmission Rate in Percentage"
-    FRAME_LOSS_PERCENT: "Frame loss in Percentage"
-    FORWARDING_RATE_FPS: " Maximum Forwarding Rate in FPS"
-
-
-Whereas, the address caching test outputs following values,
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    CACHING_CAPACITY_ADDRS = 'Number of address it can cache'
-    ADDR_LEARNED_PERCENT = 'Percentage of address successfully learned'
-
-and address learning test outputs just a single value:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    OPTIMAL_LEARNING_RATE_FPS = 'Optimal learning rate in fps'
-
-Note that 'FORWARDING_RATE_FPS', 'CACHING_CAPACITY_ADDRS',
-'ADDR_LEARNED_PERCENT' and 'OPTIMAL_LEARNING_RATE_FPS' are the new
-result-constants added to support RFC2889 tests.
-
-.. _`Xena Networks`:
-
-Xena Networks
--------------
-
-Installation
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Xena Networks traffic generator requires specific files and packages to be
-installed. It is assumed the user has access to the Xena2544.exe file which
-must be placed in VSPerf installation location under the tools/pkt_gen/xena
-folder. Contact Xena Networks for the latest version of this file. The user
-can also visit www.xenanetworks/downloads to obtain the file with a valid
-support contract.
-
-**Note** VSPerf has been fully tested with version v2.43 of Xena2544.exe
-
-To execute the Xena2544.exe file under Linux distributions the mono-complete
-package must be installed. To install this package follow the instructions
-below. Further information can be obtained from
-http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/linux/
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    rpm --import "http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF"
-    yum-config-manager --add-repo http://download.mono-project.com/repo/centos/
-    yum -y install mono-complete
-
-To prevent gpg errors on future yum installation of packages the mono-project
-repo should be disabled once installed.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    yum-config-manager --disable download.mono-project.com_repo_centos_
-
-Configuration
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Connection information for your Xena Chassis must be supplied inside the
-``10_custom.conf`` or ``03_custom.conf`` file. The following parameters must be
-set to allow for proper connections to the chassis.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    TRAFFICGEN_XENA_IP = ''
-    TRAFFICGEN_XENA_PORT1 = ''
-    TRAFFICGEN_XENA_PORT2 = ''
-    TRAFFICGEN_XENA_USER = ''
-    TRAFFICGEN_XENA_PASSWORD = ''
-    TRAFFICGEN_XENA_MODULE1 = ''
-    TRAFFICGEN_XENA_MODULE2 = ''
-
-RFC2544 Throughput Testing
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Xena traffic generator testing for rfc2544 throughput can be modified for
-different behaviors if needed. The default options for the following are
-optimized for best results.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    TRAFFICGEN_XENA_2544_TPUT_INIT_VALUE = '10.0'
-    TRAFFICGEN_XENA_2544_TPUT_MIN_VALUE = '0.1'
-    TRAFFICGEN_XENA_2544_TPUT_MAX_VALUE = '100.0'
-    TRAFFICGEN_XENA_2544_TPUT_VALUE_RESOLUTION = '0.5'
-    TRAFFICGEN_XENA_2544_TPUT_USEPASS_THRESHHOLD = 'false'
-    TRAFFICGEN_XENA_2544_TPUT_PASS_THRESHHOLD = '0.0'
-
-Each value modifies the behavior of rfc 2544 throughput testing. Refer to your
-Xena documentation to understand the behavior changes in modifying these
-values.
-
-Continuous Traffic Testing
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Xena continuous traffic by default does a 3 second learning preemption to allow
-the DUT to receive learning packets before a continuous test is performed. If
-a custom test case requires this learning be disabled, you can disable the option
-or modify the length of the learning by modifying the following settings.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    TRAFFICGEN_XENA_CONT_PORT_LEARNING_ENABLED = False
-    TRAFFICGEN_XENA_CONT_PORT_LEARNING_DURATION = 3
-
-MoonGen
--------
-
-Installation
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-MoonGen architecture overview and general installation instructions
-can be found here:
-
-https://github.com/emmericp/MoonGen
-
-* Note:  Today, MoonGen with VSPERF only supports 10Gbps line speeds.
-
-For VSPERF use, MoonGen should be cloned from here (as opposed to the
-previously mentioned GitHub):
-
-git clone https://github.com/atheurer/lua-trafficgen
-
-and use the master branch:
-
-git checkout master
-
-VSPERF uses a particular Lua script with the MoonGen project:
-
-trafficgen.lua
-
-Follow MoonGen set up and execution instructions here:
-
-https://github.com/atheurer/lua-trafficgen/blob/master/README.md
-
-Note one will need to set up ssh login to not use passwords between the server
-running MoonGen and the device under test (running the VSPERF test
-infrastructure).  This is because VSPERF on one server uses 'ssh' to
-configure and run MoonGen upon the other server.
-
-One can set up this ssh access by doing the following on both servers:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa
-    ssh-copy-id <other server>
-
-Configuration
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Connection information for MoonGen must be supplied inside the
-``10_custom.conf`` or ``03_custom.conf`` file. The following parameters must be
-set to allow for proper connections to the host with MoonGen.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    TRAFFICGEN_MOONGEN_HOST_IP_ADDR = ""
-    TRAFFICGEN_MOONGEN_USER = ""
-    TRAFFICGEN_MOONGEN_BASE_DIR = ""
-    TRAFFICGEN_MOONGEN_PORTS = ""
-    TRAFFICGEN_MOONGEN_LINE_SPEED_GBPS = ""

-Upgrading vswitchperf
-=====================
-
-Generic
--------
-
-In case, that VSPERF is cloned from git repository, then it is easy to
-upgrade it to the newest stable version or to the development version.
-
-You could get a list of stable releases by ``git`` command. It is necessary
-to update local git repository first.
-
-**NOTE:** Git commands must be executed from directory, where VSPERF repository
-was cloned, e.g. ``vswitchperf``.
-
-Update of local git repository:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-   $ git pull
-
-List of stable releases:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-   $ git tag
-
-   brahmaputra.1.0
-   colorado.1.0
-   colorado.2.0
-   colorado.3.0
-   danube.1.0
-
-You could select which stable release should be used. For example, select ``danube.1.0``:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-   $ git checkout danube.1.0
-
-
-Development version of VSPERF can be selected by:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-   $ git checkout master
-
-Colorado to Danube upgrade notes
---------------------------------
-
-Obsoleted features
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Support of vHost Cuse interface has been removed in Danube release. It means,
-that it is not possible to select ``QemuDpdkVhostCuse`` as a VNF anymore. Option
-``QemuDpdkVhostUser`` should be used instead. Please check you configuration files
-and definition of your testcases for any occurrence of:
-
-.. code:: python
-
-   VNF = "QemuDpdkVhostCuse"
-
-or
-
-.. code:: python
-
-   "VNF" : "QemuDpdkVhostCuse"
-
-In case that ``QemuDpdkVhostCuse`` is found, it must be modified to ``QemuDpdkVhostUser``.
-
-**NOTE:** In case that execution of VSPERF is automated by scripts (e.g. for
-CI purposes), then these scripts must be checked and updated too. It means,
-that any occurrence of:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-   ./vsperf --vnf QemuDpdkVhostCuse
-
-must be updated to:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-   ./vsperf --vnf QemuDpdkVhostUser
-
-Configuration
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Several configuration changes were introduced during Danube release. The most
-important changes are discussed below.
-
-Paths to DPDK, OVS and QEMU
-===========================
-
-VSPERF uses external tools for proper testcase execution. Thus it is important
-to properly configure paths to these tools. In case that tools are installed
-by installation scripts and are located inside ``./src`` directory inside
-VSPERF home, then no changes are needed. On the other hand, if path settings
-was changed by custom configuration file, then it is required to update configuration
-accordingly. Please check your configuration files for following configuration
-options:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-   OVS_DIR
-   OVS_DIR_VANILLA
-   OVS_DIR_USER
-   OVS_DIR_CUSE
-
-   RTE_SDK_USER
-   RTE_SDK_CUSE
-
-   QEMU_DIR
-   QEMU_DIR_USER
-   QEMU_DIR_CUSE
-   QEMU_BIN
-
-In case that any of these options is defined, then configuration must be updated.
-All paths to the tools are now stored inside ``PATHS`` dictionary. Please
-refer to the :ref:`paths-documentation` and update your configuration where necessary.
-
-Configuration change via CLI
-============================
-
-In previous releases it was possible to modify selected configuration options
-(mostly VNF specific) via command line interface, i.e. by ``--test-params``
-argument. This concept has been generalized in Danube release and it is
-possible to modify any configuration parameter via CLI or via **Parameters**
-section of the testcase definition. Old configuration options were obsoleted
-and it is required to specify configuration parameter name in the same form
-as it is defined inside configuration file, i.e. in uppercase. Please
-refer to the :ref:`overriding-parameters-documentation` for additional details.
-
-**NOTE:** In case that execution of VSPERF is automated by scripts (e.g. for
-CI purposes), then these scripts must be checked and updated too. It means,
-that any occurrence of
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-   guest_loopback
-   vanilla_tgen_port1_ip
-   vanilla_tgen_port1_mac
-   vanilla_tgen_port2_ip
-   vanilla_tgen_port2_mac
-   tunnel_type
-
-shall be changed to the uppercase form and data type of entered values must
-match to data types of original values from configuration files.
-
-In case that ``guest_nic1_name`` or ``guest_nic2_name`` is changed,
-then new dictionary ``GUEST_NICS`` must be modified accordingly.
-Please see :ref:`configuration-of-guest-options` and ``conf/04_vnf.conf`` for additional
-details.
-
-Traffic configuration via CLI
-=============================
-
-In previous releases it was possible to modify selected attributes of generated
-traffic via command line interface. This concept has been enhanced in Danube
-release and it is now possible to modify all traffic specific options via
-CLI or by ``TRAFFIC`` dictionary in configuration file. Detailed description
-is available at :ref:`configuration-of-traffic-dictionary` section of documentation.
-
-Please check your automated scripts for VSPERF execution for following CLI
-parameters and update them according to the documentation:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-   bidir
-   duration
-   frame_rate
-   iload
-   lossrate
-   multistream
-   pkt_sizes
-   pre-installed_flows
-   rfc2544_tests
-   stream_type
-   traffic_type
-
