"trafficgen-pause" - execute vSwitch and VNF but wait before traffic transmission
In case, that VSPERF is executed in "trafficgen" mode, then configuration
-of traffic generator should be configured through ``--test-params`` option.
-Supported CLI options useful for traffic generator configuration are:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- 'traffic_type' - One of the supported traffic types. E.g.
- rfc2544_throughput,
- rfc2544_back2back or rfc2544_continuous
- Default value is "rfc2544_throughput".
- 'bidirectional' - Specifies if generated traffic will be full-duplex (true)
- or half-duplex (false)
- Default value is "false".
- 'iload' - Defines desired percentage of frame rate used during
- continuous stream tests.
- Default value is 100.
- 'multistream' - Defines number of flows simulated by traffic generator.
- Value 0 disables MultiStream feature
- Default value is 0.
- 'stream_type' - Stream Type is an extension of the "MultiStream" feature.
- If MultiStream is disabled, then Stream Type will be
- ignored. Stream Type defines ISO OSI network layer used
- for simulation of multiple streams.
- Default value is "L4".
+of traffic generator can be modified through ``TRAFFIC`` dictionary passed to the
+``--test-params`` option. It is not needed to specify all values of ``TRAFFIC``
+dictionary. It is sufficient to specify only values, which should be changed.
+Detailed description of ``TRAFFIC`` dictionary can be found at
+`Configuration of TRAFFIC dictionary
+<http://artifacts.opnfv.org/vswitchperf/docs/index.html#configuration-of-traffic-dictionary>`__
Example of execution of VSPERF in "trafficgen" mode:
.. code-block:: console
$ ./vsperf -m trafficgen --trafficgen IxNet --conf-file vsperf.conf \
- --test-params "traffic_type=rfc2544_continuous;bidirectional=True;iload=60"
+ --test-params "TRAFFIC={'traffic_type':'rfc2544_continuous','bidir':'False','framerate':60}"
