2017-01-16traffic: Configurable traffic detailsMartin Klozik1-8/+18
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.

2017-01-04bugfix: Ethernet type and vnf stop fixesMartin Klozik1-2/+2
Usage of ethernet type for IPv4 was harmonized, to use 0x0800 at all places. Together with this fix a bug during VNF cleanup was removed - VNF started by TestSteps are tested for validity before the call of their stop() method. It avoid vsperf crash in case, that VNF was not properly started.

2016-12-07conf:Traffic-type naming convention and consistencySridhar K. N. Rao1-6/+10
Following changes are added following first review 1. Descriptions in integration/01_testcases.conf 2. Comment in conf/01_testcases.conf 3. Checking all cases of traffic types in traffic_controller_rfc2544.py 4. Removing whitespaces 5. Missing changes (throughput->rfc2544_throughput) 6. Syntax error in core/traffic_controller_rfc2544.py Currently the traffic-type values that are provided as part of the test case definition needs some fix to support additional traffic - apart from rfc2544. The Current and the proposed changed is summarized in the below table: |--------------------------------------------------------------------| | Parameter | Existing traffic_type value | Changed to | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Throughput | rfc2544 OR throughput | rfc2544_throughput | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Back2Back | back2back | rfc2544_back2back | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Continuous | continuous | rfc2544_continuous | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA: VSPERF-420 Change-Id: I22bd897f6389d2b568a6a3735c67f0003e813445 Signed-off-by: Sridhar K.

2016-11-09cli: Modify configuration via CLIMartin Klozik1-2/+2
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.

2016-10-27teststeps: Generic support of step driven testsMartin Klozik1-0/+651
In the past, step driven testcases were supported only by integration testcases. This patch adds generic support of TestSteps for both integration and performance testcases. Step driven test were improved to support modification of existing deployment. As part of the patch a refactoring of traffic controllers were performed. Traffic controllers were modified to support trafficgen-off and trafficgen-pause modes in all possible ways of trafficgen invocation.
