2018-03-22trex: Support of SCAPY frame definitionMartin Klozik1-0/+83
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.

2018-03-19vsperf: Performance Matrix functionality supportRichard Elias1-1/+75
The patch expands the vsperf --test-params argument with list functionality, which enables running multiple tests with different parameters. If more tests are run then parameters provided, the last parameters will be reused. Example: ./vsperf --test-params "['','TRAFFICGEN_PKTSIZE = (64,)']" phy2phy_cont phy2phy_cont CUMULATIVE_PARAMS if true, instead of using the default settings, each test will take the parameters of the previous test before applying it's own. The patch also adds the vsperf --matrix argument which analyzes and compares the results of all the tests run, printing it as a table, as well as saving it into a file in the results directory. MATRIX_METRIC metric used by Performance Matrix to compare tests.

2018-01-11capture: Traffic capture examplesMartin Klozik1-1/+3
Traffic can be captured also at DUT side. Two options are supported by vsperf: 1) Traffic is captured inside VM after it has been processed by vSwitch. This can be used for verification of vSwitch frame modification functionality, including HW offloading at ingress side. 2) Another NIC under the test (NIC2) is added into standard VSPERF DUT setup. Traffic is then forwarded from TGen through NIC and vSwitch to NIC2 and then over patch cable back to NIC2, the vSwitch, NIC and to the traffic generator. This setup supports also verification of HW offloading at egress side of NIC2 and thus it can be used for validation of smart NICS. Both options above are traffic generator agnostic if compared to direct support of traffic capture by traffic generator. This patch introduces example testcases for both options. Detailed documentation will be pushed as a standalone patch.

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".

Support of vhost-user server mode is deprecated in OVS and it can be removed in future releases. Once it will happen, we have to change vsperf default behavior to usage of vhost-user client ports at vswitch side.

Details: * delay among test steps is configurable by TEST_STEP_DELAY parameter * step driven tool function exec was renamed to exec_shell * new step driven tool function exec_python was introduced to execute a python code * new step driven object sleep was introduced to pause test execution for defined number of seconds. * fixed bug in settings.validate_getValue() to correctly validate access of parameters modified by TEST_PARAMS * new #PARAM() macro was introduced to allow references among configuration parameters * multistream support has been added into ixnetrfc2544v2.tcl, which is used for tunneling protocols test (op2p deployment) * fixed bug in op2p deployment to list interfaces and flows from both bridges involved in the test * test report updated to state exact rfcxxxx type of traffic type, e.g. rfc2544_continuous * test report of step driven testcases was updated to contain measured values from traffic generator in CSV report * method for ovs flow comparison was modified to normalize IPv4 CIDR network addr (e.g. 10.0.0.5/8 => 10.0.0.0/8) JIRA: VSPERF-512 Change-Id: Ib4f38dcdfbf3820dd766b25520da0ad0c81f3293 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> Reviewed-by: Ciara Loftus <ciara.loftus@intel.com>
2017-05-31Qemu: Mechanism to pass extra qemu cpu features and pin vCPU threadskalyanreddy1-0/+40
JIRA: VSPERF-510 This patch is used to implement the mechanism to pass extra qemu cpu options required to achieve better results/performance. Also used to implement a mechanism to pin the vCPU threads to another pCPU core which helps in reducing the noise from housekeeping thread and packet loss.
