2018-03-22trex: Support of SCAPY frame definitionMartin Klozik2-0/+33
T-Rex implementation in vsperf was improved to support: * SCAPY frame definition, so additional network protocols can be generated by T-Rex and sent towards DUT * VLAN configuration defined by TRAFFIC['vlan'] * enable or disable L2, L3, L4 and VLAN protocols as configured by TRAFFIC dictionary VSPERF documentation was updated with examples of SCAPY frame definition usage.

2017-11-03teststeps: Improvements and bugfixing of teststepsMartin Klozik1-0/+12
This patch introduces several improvements and small bugfixes of teststeps. These changes were identified during implementation of OVS/DPDK regression tests. Patch content: * teststeps: step aliases were implemented * teststeps: improved filtering by regex for any step, which returns string or list of stings; filter will process all lines * teststeps: support for log object * teststeps: support for trafficgen get_results call * teststeps: configurable suppression of step validation * trafficgen: remove old results before traffic is executed * trafficgen: support for flow control on/off (IxNet) * trafficgen: support for configurable learning frames (IxNet) * trafficgen: support for runtime changes of TRAFFICGEN_PKT_SIZES, _DURATION and _LOSSRATE * vnf: flush pexpect output of previous commands * vnf: use execute_and_wait() to ensure correct cmds order * vnf: dpdk vHost User interface name set according to its type, e.g. dpdkvhostuserclient * vswitch: support for OVS restart * decap: simplify configuration of tunneling decapsulation tests * settings: values of all configuration options are restored after TC execution * modified formatting of test description used by --list * testcase name and description is logged before its execution * small bugfixes JIRA: VSPERF-539 Change-Id: I550ba0d897ece89abd3f33d6d66f545c4d863e7b Signed-off-by: Martin Klozik <martinx.klozik@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Al Morton <acmorton@att.com> Reviewed-by: Christian Trautman <ctrautma@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Sridhar Rao <sridhar.rao@spirent.com> Reviewed-by: Trevor Cooper <trevor.cooper@intel.com>

2017-08-04tests: L3, L4 and VxLAN tests for OVS & VPPMartin Klozik1-5/+7
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".

2017-03-24ixia: Make L3 and L4 headers optionalMartin Klozik2-3/+11
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.
