2015-09-09Improvement: Expand background details on PDV in the LTDAl Morton1-0/+18
Expand description of Packet Delay Variation to capture the additional details which will be important to measurement design. Measurmeent devices may be implementing the RFC 5481 PDV metric for the firt time, so som general details will be useful to include in the LTD. Addresses MT's comments.

2015-08-26Support of configurable background load and implementation of ↵Martin Klozik2-3/+18
LTD.CPU.RFC2544.0PacketLoss and LTD.Memory.RFC2544.0PacketLoss Every testcase can be configured to run background load on the DUT. Load is generated by chosen command line tool, which must be installed according to the installation.md. Currently 'stress' and 'stress-ng' tools are supported, but support for new tool can be easily added. Load can be configured by testcase configuration option 'load'. Details about supported load generator options can be found in conf/01_testcases.conf.

2015-06-08framework: Add reworked framework to repoBilly O'Mahony3-0/+168
This commit adds the vSwitch Integration Test Framework whose design, based off TOIT, is outlined in the HLD previously made availiable to the community for review. The design of this framework allows developers to add different implementations of components, specifically vSwitches, Traffic Generators, Metrics Collectors and VNFs, easily. The goal of this design is that all testcases should run regardless of what is "under the hood". This commit adds support for running the framework for a phy to phy RFC2544 testcase only. More testcases will be added by the community. vSwitches supported at this time: * Intel DPDK (r) accelerated OpenvSwitch Traffic Generators supported at this time: * IxNet - IxNetwork Implementation * Ixia - IxExplorer Implementation * Dummy - Manual Implementation Metrics Collectors supported at this time: * Linux Metrics No VNFs are supported at this time but the framework outlines how they should be integrated and provides APIs for them to adhere to.
