2016-04-07pkt_gen: Adding Support of testcenter traffic generation using STC REST API.sridharkn1-0/+16
Stcrestclient package based script is added. Support for RFC22544 backtoback, latency, frameloss are also added, along with the throughput. Comments Addressed: 1. Parameter name consistency. Ex: use duration (refer dummy.py). 2. Moved 'only the necessary contents of README to configguide/trafficgen.rst. 3. Removed README file 4. Commit message format (pkt_gen: and linewrap) 5. Merged 4 scripts (throughput/backtoback/latency/frameloss) that were rest-based into one single script. Name: testcenter-rfc2544-test.py 6. Changed year to 2016 7. Moved imports to the top (testcenter-rfc2544-rest.py) 8. Changed prints to Log (testcenter-rfc2544-rest.py) 9. Reporting the frame loss percentage. 10. Calls to frameloss and latency are not added as the 'caller' class TrafficControllerRFC2544 is only calling backtoback and throughput. 11. Changed Exception, e to Exception as e for python 3 compatibility 12. Remaining prints to debug and logger.error for errors. 13. Moved Session creation under try block. 14. Removed deadcode 15. Fixed missing docstring 16. Generic to specific Exception. 17. if-if to if-elif 18. Debug level logging only under verbose flag. 19. Fixed Arguments mismatch. 20. Ordering of the imports Note: The testcenter-rfc2544-rest.py is spawned as a separate process, and need not be wrapped in a class.

2016-03-12bugfix: Eliminate error and warning messagesMartin Klozik1-2/+16
Several issues have been fixed to decrease a number of warning and error messages written to the standard output. Error and warning messages causes false build failure report by Jenkins, in case that internal parsing of job output is enabled. Fixed issues: * qemu makefile updated * shared directories between host and guests are forcibly deleted before vsperf execution * nonstop_tsc cpu flag is exported from host to the guest * vloop-vnf help has been updated and changelog added * TCL scripts updated to print info instead of warning * vloop-vnf image updated to avoid snmpd related warnings Change-Id: Id9ca014bae8fa34772b67d1ebab3431682682931 JIRA: VSPERF-206 Signed-off-by: Martin Klozik <martinx.klozik@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Maryam Tahhan <maryam.tahhan@intel.com>
2016-03-11bugfix: Cleanup of traffic gen api and default traffic valuesMartin Klozik1-2/+4
Both documentation and traffic generator API are updated to match current code logic. Additional default values are added into TRAFFIC_DEFAULTS dictionary. Constructor of TestCase class uses default values from TRAFFIC_DEFAULTS instead of magic numbers.

2016-02-03Add OVS tunnel encapsulation performance testDino Simeon Madarang1-0/+1
Measure OVS DPDK and native VXLAN/GRE/GENEVE encapsulation performance. This patch creates a new deployment scenario, Overlay_P2P. The DUT is configured as a TEP (Tunnel Endpoint) which performs encapsulation of frames and sends traffic to the 2nd traffic generator port. The traffic generator in this case receives an encapsulated frame. No decapsulation is performed in this testcase. Introduce a vsperf param, --run-integration, to filter tests to integration tests. When running integration tests, variables defined in the directory conf/integration/*conf as well as the conf/*.conf are available. This test case requires DPDK 2.1.0 and OVS master - 6bb4a18 or newer.
