2018-01-21loadgen: Support for Stressor-VMs as a LoadgenSridhar K. N. Rao1-1/+17
This patch adds support for stressor-VMs as a loadgen in VSPERF. The changes include: 1. 07_loadgen.conf: User can specify the stressor-VM specific configuration. It includes, image-name, path, nics, memory, etc. 2. loadgen/stressorvm/stressor_vm.py: This file implement ILoadGenerator interface. It implements all the necessary APIs for starting and stopping the loads. 3. Fixed Pylint Error 4. Removed the network device configuration from qemu-system-x86_64 command as stessor-vm mostly focus on CPU and memory stressing. 5. Moved the creation of loadgen after the VNFs are setup in testcase.py. 6. Fixed copyright issues. 7. Removed python-3 checking. Improved exception handling 8. Set Default loadgen as DummyLoadGen 9. Improved OSError Printing with directory name and error 10. Update the year in license. 2017-2018. JIRA: VSPERF-504 Change-Id: Iad6c0780c184f8e36eddcbcae2a580f41118e8dc Signed-off-by: Sridhar K. N.

2017-11-20ci: Skip VPP tests if neededMartin Klozik1-0/+11
If VPP can't be executed properly, then VPP tests will be skipped for VERIFY and MERGE jobs. It sometimes happens, that VPP can't be executed at builders used for VERIFY & MERGE jobs execution. These failures are not caused by patches themselves, but they are blocking standard review & merge process. Thus VPP tests will be suppressed in case that VPP can't be started at all. This change is not related to DAILY job, which is executed at POD dedicated to VSPERF project. It means that VPP tests are always executed by DAILY job.

2017-11-03load_gen: Supporting loading of load_gen via loader.Sridhar K. N. Rao2-3/+27
Currently all tools are loaded via loader utility, except load_gen. Load_gens were loaded directly through component_factory. This patch adds support to load load_gens through loader utility. The changes are as follows: 1. Configuration changes:The common.conf include configuration of directory. testcases.conf includes changes to load configuration, where tool is no more part of the load-configuration. The custom.conf has configuration of LOADGEN to be used - this configuration replaces the earlier 'tool' configuration parameter. 2. loader_utility_changes: In loader.py, loadgen_loader is defined, which is used in new get_loadgen function. 3. component_factory changes: in create_loadgen, similar to other tools, the function just retuns the object of loadgen_class. 4. Renaming of Dummy load_gen: Loader fails to load properly a dummy loadgen due to name-clash with dummy in pkt_gen. To avoid this name clash dummy is renamed to dummyloadgen. 5. testcase changes: create_loadgen is now called with output of loader's get_loadgen_class. 6. Fixed Pylint Errors and extra-space at the end. 7. Included CLI options support for --loadgen and --list-loadgens. Thanks to Martin K. 8. Added the missing loadgen parameter in testcases.conf. 9. Fixed the missing comma error. 10. Added CI change in build-vsperf.sh 11.

2017-08-04tests: L3, L4 and VxLAN tests for OVS & VPPMartin Klozik3-17/+1026
A set of tests was introduced with focus on L3, L4 and VxLAN performance of OVS and VPP. New testcases were created for phy2phy network scenario. In case of PVP and PVVP, only OVS testcases are available. Notes: * two sets of OVS P2P testcases were created, one creates unique flow for each IP address involved in the test (performance sensitive); Second set inserts just one flow with large network mask (tests with _mask suffix). * three different types of VPP P2P L3 testcases were created to demonstrate performance impact of multi ARP entries or IP routes. * VPP multi ARP record based testcases use a set of "workarounds" to load a large number of ARP entries. It is not possible to use "set ip arp count" syntax, as it doesn't work well for large count values (e.g. 60K) * OVS VxLAN testcases utilize existing OP2P deployment scenario and thus it can be used also with GRE and GENEVE tunnel types. Tunnel type to be used is defined by test configuration option "Tunnel Type".

Support of vhost-user client mode has been added for both OVS and VPP. VSPERF configures vhost-user server mode in vswitches by default for backward compatibility. Support of vhost-user server mode is deprecated in OVS and it can be removed in future releases. Once it will happen, we have to change vsperf default behavior to usage of vhost-user client ports at vswitch side. This patch also fixes processing of boolean configuration parameters passed via --test-params option. In the past it was not possible to set boolean value to False through --test-params option.

Traffic default values were defined inside VSPERF code and it was not possible to change them. This patch introduces new TRAFFIC dictionary inside 03_traffic.conf. Thus user can modify any of TRAFFIC values either in configuration file or by CLI or by 'Parameters' section of testcase definition. Following CLI options were obsoleted by this patch: 'bidirectional', 'traffic_type', 'iload', 'multistream', 'stream_type' and 'pre-installed_flows' Following CLI option was renamed to be consistent with other options: 'tunnel_type' => 'TUNNEL_TYPE' Following sections of testcase definition were obsoleted: "Traffic Type", "biDirectional", "MultiStream", "Stream Type", "Pre-installed Flows", "Flow Type" and "iLoad" New TRAFFIC dictionary should be used instead of old CLI options and old testcase definition sections. Testcase definitons, yardstick sample testcases and documentation were updated to reflect configuration changes.

Following changes are added following first review 1. Descriptions in integration/01_testcases.conf 2. Comment in conf/01_testcases.conf 3. Checking all cases of traffic types in traffic_controller_rfc2544.py 4. Removing whitespaces 5. Missing changes (throughput->rfc2544_throughput) 6. Syntax error in core/traffic_controller_rfc2544.py Currently the traffic-type values that are provided as part of the test case definition needs some fix to support additional traffic - apart from rfc2544. The Current and the proposed changed is summarized in the below table: |--------------------------------------------------------------------| | Parameter | Existing traffic_type value | Changed to | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Throughput | rfc2544 OR throughput | rfc2544_throughput | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Back2Back | back2back | rfc2544_back2back | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Continuous | continuous | rfc2544_continuous | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA: VSPERF-420 Change-Id: I22bd897f6389d2b568a6a3735c67f0003e813445 Signed-off-by: Sridhar K.

2016-11-30yardstick: CLI params support for yardstick TCsMartin Klozik1-0/+23
Vswitchperf specific class in yardstick was updated to reflect new functionality of --test-params. These changes have impact on vsperf documentation and yardstick samples. As part of this fix following changes were made: * trafficgen mode can be executed with default configuration * yardstick specific TC samples were updated * dummy traffic generator was enhanced to support back2back * dummy traffic generator was enhanced to accept traffic results from configuration JIRA: VSPERF-422 JIRA: VSPERF-205 Change-Id: Ibeaa6ef46bde453e3ca5dee6e4568fc8c3853521 Signed-off-by: Martin Klozik <martinx.klozik@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Al Morton <acmorton@att.com> Reviewed-by: Christian Trautman <ctrautma@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Bill Michalowski <bmichalo@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Antonio Fischetti <antonio.fischetti@intel.com> Reviewed-by: <sridhar.rao@spirent.com>
2016-11-21ci: Decrease hugepages size for VERIFY&MERGE jobsMartin Klozik1-2/+6
VSPERF by default requires allocation of hugepages with total size of 10GB. However for MERGE and VERIFY jobs less memory is required and default size of 10GB can cause issues. Thus amount of memory was limited and other minor enhancements were introduced: * sysstat system package is installed at nodes running VERIFY and MERGE jobs * WHITELIST_NICS was set to empty list by default to avoid automatic bind of NICs to DPDK. Old default value could cut off network connection to DUT. * imports were fixed at both integration.py and testcase.py JIRA: VSPERF-391 Change-Id: Ic07d68f4591ae697c1b8edeae6c0cffe47c065ce Signed-off-by: Martin Klozik <martinx.klozik@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Al Morton <acmorton@att.com> Reviewed-by: Christian Trautman <ctrautma@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Bill Michalowski <bmichalo@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Antonio Fischetti <antonio.fischetti@intel.com>

2016-11-09cli: Modify configuration via CLIMartin Klozik7-28/+108
In the past, only a few configuration parameters could be modified via --test-params CLI argument and it was not easy to find out their complete list. This patch adds support for generic modification of any configuration parameter via CLI argument --test-params or by "Parameters" section of testcase definition. Thus it is possible to customize a vsperf configuration environment per testcase or for each vsperf execution. Old CLI parameters duration, pkt_sizes, rfc2544_tests and rfc2889_trials were renamed to TRAFFICGEN_DURATION, TRAFFICGEN_PKT_SIZES, TRAFFICGEN_RFC2544_TESTS and TRAFFICGEN_RFC2889_TRIALS to be consistent with other configuration parameters.

2016-11-04bugfix: Trafficgen Ixia does not workMartin Klozik1-1/+1
IXIA traffic generator can be controlled by two different VSPERF's wrappers IxNet (preferred) and Ixia (legacy and outdated). It has been found, that Ixia wrapper can't be used because of missing "packetsize" traffic item. Also only IXIA OS 6.60 was supported and never IXIA OS versions were not working. Both limitations were fixed. Also reported results were fixed to show correct values for MBPS items.
