2017-03-15vpp: Initial support of VPP vSwitchMartin Klozik2-13/+20
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.

2017-01-30docs: Remove hyperlinks to docs in artifactsMartin Klozik4-25/+12
It is possible to use sphinx cross referencing feature in case, that only one level of toctree is used. Thus documentation was reorganized to utilize just one top level index with toctree. After that it was possible to use rst native syntax to create a cross links among vsperf documentation chapters. As a result only 2 hyperlinks to the yardstick documentation are version specific.

2017-01-16traffic: Configurable traffic detailsMartin Klozik1-5/+12
Traffic generated by traffic generator is based on default values and their modifications specific to particular testing scenario. 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.

2016-08-03pkt_gen: MoonGen start rates not correctbmichalo1-0/+2
The VSPERF traffic profile for starting rate is in a percentage of line rate. MoonGen programs its starting rate as Mpps. Therefore the traffic profile for VSPERF needs to be converted to a MoonGen format. There was a hardcoding of 14.88 that was used for the starting frame rate for all frame sizes. This needs to be corrected to take into account all frame sizes. JIRA: VSPERF-350 Change-Id: Ied71668a560d7d2b03483f9a1192dd2fb4965996 Signed-off-by: bmichalo <bmichalo@redhat.com>
