2016-02-03pkt_gen: Add support for generating GENEVE framesDino Simeon Madarang1-0/+69
Add option to generate GENEVE frames for decapsulation tests. IxNet 7.3X does not have a native support of GENEVE protocol. The template, GeneveIxNetTemplate.xml_ClearText.xml, should be imported into IxNET for this testcase to work.

2016-02-03Add simple VxLAN decapsulation performance testDino Simeon Madarang1-0/+47
Measure OVS DPDK VXLAN decapsulation performance. The DUT is configured as a VTEP (VXLAN Tunnel Endpoint) which performs decapsulation of frames and sends traffic to the 2nd traffic generator port. This test is unidirectional. Recent changes: * Userguide update * Move src/dstport from L2 to L4 (conf, TCL) * Fix 'TestCase' object has no attribute '_tunnel_operation' error when running non overlay tests * Fix merge conflict * Move doc to docs/userguide/integration.rst * Add setting of DUT_NIC1_MAC and setting of other variables to docs/userguide/integration.rst Change-Id: Ia44f8888ef727831543c80f5c98c866686c5c92c JIRA: VSPERF-190 Signed-off-by: Dino Simeon Madarang <dino.simeonx.madarang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Robert Wojciechowicz <robertx.wojciechowicz@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Timo Puha <timox.puha@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Maryam Tahhan <maryam.tahhan@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Billy O Mahony <billy.o.mahony@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Martin Klozik <martinx.klozik@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Al Morton <acmorton@att.com> Reviewed-by: Brian Castelli <brian.castelli@spirent.com
2016-02-03Add OVS tunnel encapsulation performance testDino Simeon Madarang2-0/+98
Measure OVS DPDK and native VXLAN/GRE/GENEVE encapsulation performance. This patch creates a new deployment scenario, Overlay_P2P. The DUT is configured as a TEP (Tunnel Endpoint) which performs encapsulation of frames and sends traffic to the 2nd traffic generator port. The traffic generator in this case receives an encapsulated frame. No decapsulation is performed in this testcase. Introduce a vsperf param, --run-integration, to filter tests to integration tests. When running integration tests, variables defined in the directory conf/integration/*conf as well as the conf/*.conf are available. This test case requires DPDK 2.1.0 and OVS master - 6bb4a18 or newer.
