2016-08-24Vanilla_Multi_Queue: Add vanilla ovs multi-queue functionalityChristian Trautman3-19/+35
Adds multi-queue for vanilla OVS using virtio-net. TunTap ports will use multi_queue parameter when ports are created/deleted if guest nic queues are enabled and vswitch is ovs vanilla. Virtio net will now add guest nic queues to qemu command line if appropriate. Reworked multi-queue documentation to reflect these changes. Adds vhost net thread affinitization which is recommended when performing vanilla ovs multi-queue. Guests will require ethtool if using l2fwd or linux bridge as the loopback application when vanilla ovs multi-queue is enabled. Modified dpdk setting in vswitch conf to be better worded for separation from vanilla ovs multi-queue. Updated release and installation doc for new vloop image that includes required ethtool utility.

2016-08-16integration: Support for VxLAN TC without using overlay traffic gen.Sugesh Chandran1-0/+49
The test case for verifying the vxlan tunneling feature without using any ingress tunnel traffic. The virtual switch(OVS) is configured to mangle and generate tunnel traffic in the deployment. The packet flow in the test case is as follows TRAFFIC-IN --> [ENCAP-PKT] --> [MOD-PKT] --> [DECAP-PKT] --> TRAFFIC-OUT ENCAP-PKT - Encapsulate the ingress packet to a tunnel type. MOD-PKT - Modify the tunnel header to match the following decap interface. DECAP-PKT - Decapsulate the newly generated tunneled packet.
