-This is the initial release of a re-designed version of the software -based on community feedback. This initial release supports only the -Phy2Phy deployment scenario and the -LTD.Throughput.RFC2544.PacketLossRatio test - both described in the -OPNFV vswitchperf 'CHARACTERIZE VSWITCH PERFORMANCE FOR TELCO NFV USE -CASES LEVEL TEST DESIGN'. The intention is that more test cases will -follow once the community has digested the initial release. - -- Performance testing with continuous stream -- Vanilla OVS support added. - - - Support for non-DPDK OVS build. - - Build and installation support through Makefile will be added via - next patch(Currently it is possible to manually build ovs and - setting it in vsperf configuration files). - - PvP scenario is not yet implemented. - -- CentOS7 support -- Verified on CentOS7 -- Install & Quickstart documentation - -- Better support for mixing tests types with Deployment Scenarios -- Re-work based on community feedback of TOIT -- Framework support for other vSwitches -- Framework support for non-Ixia traffic generators -- Framework support for different VNFs -- Python3 -- Support for biDirectional functionality for ixnet interface - -Missing -======= - -- xmlunit output is currently disabled - |
