2016-11-09cli: Modify configuration via CLIMartin Klozik1-1/+1
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.

JIRA: VSPERF-410 x Ramki on OVS features - the scope of benchmarking does not include the ever-growing list of OVS features, only the general and switch-agnostic features will be assessed. x Justify the length of SOAK tests (with variability allowed), mention that the goal is stability characterization, not the typical short term benchmarks of performance. x Fix the LTD Reference to point to Brahmaputra version (which is frozen in the release docs) Change-Id: I2f795cd42e7ec2e06e5cd35bbf0c1f336a5e43ca Signed-off-by: Al Morton <acmorton@att.com> Reviewed-by: Maryam Tahhan <maryam.tahhan@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Billy O'Mahony<billy.o.mahony@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Christian Trautman <ctrautma@redhat.com>
