2018-01-11capture: Traffic capture examplesMartin Klozik2-0/+134
Traffic can be captured also at DUT side. Two options are supported by vsperf: 1) Traffic is captured inside VM after it has been processed by vSwitch. This can be used for verification of vSwitch frame modification functionality, including HW offloading at ingress side. 2) Another NIC under the test (NIC2) is added into standard VSPERF DUT setup. Traffic is then forwarded from TGen through NIC and vSwitch to NIC2 and then over patch cable back to NIC2, the vSwitch, NIC and to the traffic generator. This setup supports also verification of HW offloading at egress side of NIC2 and thus it can be used for validation of smart NICS. Both options above are traffic generator agnostic if compared to direct support of traffic capture by traffic generator. This patch introduces example testcases for both options. Detailed documentation will be pushed as a standalone patch.

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.

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".

2017-04-19ixia: Support of 1 NIC connection to trafficgenMartin Klozik1-0/+42
For some testcases it is useful to have only one connection between traffic generator and DUT. Thus IxNet class was extended to support such connection. Feature is enabled if both IXIA ports are set to the same value. New integration testcase ixnet_pvp_tput_1nic was created to demonstrate this feature. Unused code was removed from 3rd_party/ixia/ixnetrfc2544.tcl to simplify introduction of new features and to speed up IXIA configuration.

2017-04-18xena_verify: Add final verification option to XenaChristian Trautman2-0/+16
Adds final verification option to Xena traffic generator inside VSPerf. Works by running the Xena2544.exe again after the initial run is complete with modified values inside the json file. If the final verify fails it will revert the settings and continue the in a pattern based on if the smart search is enabled.

Add jumbo frame support for all packet forwarding applications inside guest for pxp testing. Enable jumbo frame support for OvsVanilla, OvsDpdkVhostUser, and Packet forwarding. Add minor fix for missing method issue when running packet forwarding tests. The get_version method was missing in the packet_forwaring core module.

2017-03-24ixia: Make L3 and L4 headers optionalMartin Klozik1-0/+10
During testing it is sometimes useful to generate pure L2 traffic without L3 or L4 related headers. IxNetwork TCL script was updated to support this option. Generic TRAFFIC array was enhanced by on/off switch for L3 and L4 headers. Thus it can be implemented by other traffic generators in the future, if this feature will prove itself useful.

2017-03-15vpp: Initial support of VPP vSwitchMartin Klozik4-5/+239
Support of VPP was implemented into VSPERF. Initial implementation uses step driven testcases to configure P2P, PVP and PVVP network scenarios. These testcases were prepared for three RFC2544 traffic types, i.e. throughput, continuous stream and back to back. VPP configuration is driven by new configuration option VSWITCH_VPP_ARGS. It is possible to use three types of l2 port connection supported by VPP, i.e. l2 xconnect (default), l2patch and l2 bridge features. Configuration is driven by parameter VSWITCH_VPP_L2_CONNECT_MODE.
