2017-01-30docs: Remove hyperlinks to docs in artifactsMartin Klozik1-0/+4
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.

2017-01-13testpmd_pvp: Adds pkt_fwd to allow pvp topology testingChristian Trautman1-0/+1
Requires DPDK 16.11 or greater to support vdev flags. Initial support for TestPMD to support guests. Allows vsperf to execute TestPMD as a switch for pvp test scenarios. Can be increased in functionality later to support multiple guest configs.

2016-08-24Vanilla_Multi_Queue: Add vanilla ovs multi-queue functionalityChristian Trautman1-0/+2
Adds multi-queue for vanilla OVS using virtio-net. TunTap ports will use multi_queue parameter when ports are created/deleted if guest nic queues are enabled and vswitch is ovs vanilla. Virtio net will now add guest nic queues to qemu command line if appropriate. Reworked multi-queue documentation to reflect these changes. Adds vhost net thread affinitization which is recommended when performing vanilla ovs multi-queue. Guests will require ethtool if using l2fwd or linux bridge as the loopback application when vanilla ovs multi-queue is enabled. Modified dpdk setting in vswitch conf to be better worded for separation from vanilla ovs multi-queue. Updated release and installation doc for new vloop image that includes required ethtool utility.

2016-05-12dpdk: Support of DPDK v16.04Martin Klozik1-1/+2
Configuration options modified by VSPERF were split between config_base and config_linuxapp files. Makefile was modified to reflect this change. Additional changes: * content of qemu shared dir is copied without preservation of attributes to avoid compilation issues due misaligned clocks => could produce broken igb_uio module * added support of new testpmd "Bye.." message * DPDK sources are copied from RTE_SDK_USER directory for all VNF variants - this has been wrongly reverted by inttest patch Change-Id: Id502a072c1f843258496decbf031e7ba7264d459 JIRA: VSPERF-297 Signed-off-by: Martin Klozik <martinx.klozik@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Maryam Tahhan <maryam.tahhan@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Al Morton <acmorton@att.com> Reviewed-by: Christian Trautman <ctrautma@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Brian Castelli <brian.castelli@spirent.com> Reviewed-by: Michal Weglicki <michalx.weglicki@intel.com>
