2016-04-07pkt_gen: Adding Support of testcenter traffic generation using STC REST API.sridharkn1-0/+16
Stcrestclient package based script is added. Support for RFC22544 backtoback, latency, frameloss are also added, along with the throughput. Comments Addressed: 1. Parameter name consistency. Ex: use duration (refer dummy.py). 2. Moved 'only the necessary contents of README to configguide/trafficgen.rst. 3. Removed README file 4. Commit message format (pkt_gen: and linewrap) 5. Merged 4 scripts (throughput/backtoback/latency/frameloss) that were rest-based into one single script. Name: testcenter-rfc2544-test.py 6. Changed year to 2016 7. Moved imports to the top (testcenter-rfc2544-rest.py) 8. Changed prints to Log (testcenter-rfc2544-rest.py) 9. Reporting the frame loss percentage. 10. Calls to frameloss and latency are not added as the 'caller' class TrafficControllerRFC2544 is only calling backtoback and throughput. 11. Changed Exception, e to Exception as e for python 3 compatibility 12. Remaining prints to debug and logger.error for errors. 13. Moved Session creation under try block. 14. Removed deadcode 15. Fixed missing docstring 16. Generic to specific Exception. 17. if-if to if-elif 18. Debug level logging only under verbose flag. 19. Fixed Arguments mismatch. 20. Ordering of the imports Note: The testcenter-rfc2544-rest.py is spawned as a separate process, and need not be wrapped in a class.

2016-03-21integration: Support of integration testcasesMartin Klozik1-11/+11
Generic support for integration testcases with first set of tests for vswitch testing. New test option "TestSteps" has been introduced to define test step by step directly in configuration file. In case that this concept will be accepted, there are plenty of possibilities for future improvements. For example: * use it also for performance tests without explicit call of validation methods * introduce step macros for repetitive scenarios, so new tests can be easily written * further generalization, which would go beyond usage of controllers and will operate directly with vswitch, vnf and trafficgen objects Change-Id: Ifad166c8ef9cfbda6694682fe6b3421e0e97bbf2 JIRA: VSPERF-212 Signed-off-by: Martin Klozik <martinx.klozik@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Maryam Tahhan <maryam.tahhan@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Al Morton <acmorton@att.com> Reviewed-by: Christian Trautman <ctrautma@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Brian Castelli <brian.castelli@spirent.com>

Support for multiple modes of VSPERF operation has been added. These modes can be used for standalone execution of traffic generator or for manual testing or for execution of unsupported traffic generator. Supported modes are: "normal" - execute vSwitch, VNF and traffic generator; "trafficgen" - execute only traffic generator; "trafficgen-off" - execute vSwitch and VNF. Normal mode is selected by default. In case that trafficgen mode is selected, then various --test-params could be specified to affect traffic generator configuration. These parameters include traffic type, frame rate, bidirectional and scalability settings. Selection of transport protocol is not supported by IxNet yet (UDP is enforced), thus modification of transport protocol from command line is not supported too. Fixes of testpmd and qemu warning patches are inclduded.

The purpose of using testpmd instead of OVS is to get the baseline of the DUT when performing hardware offloading operations. There are supported different checksum calculation and txq flags settings.

2015-12-21docs: updates and move traffic gens to separate docMaryam Tahhan22-404/+754
Move the traffic gen instructions to a separate user guide and add information on usage of the Dummy traffic generator. Update docs to fix PDF build failure and do general clean-up. Removed the numbering from the LTD and added the numbered directive to automate numbering for sections and headers. Add comment anchors that reflect the section numbers.

Update the default duration of a back to back test to be 2 seconds which is the minimum recommended by RFC2544, and update the Trials to be 50, which is also the default value specified by the RFC. This patch also fixes the tcl script to allow for the minimum framesize to be sent from the traffic gen.

2015-12-08Results: Integrate with opnfv_test_dashboardRadek Zetik1-0/+6
All the test projects generate results in different format. The goal of a testing dashboard is to provide a consistent view of the different tests from the different projects. We need to enable the data collection for VSPERF, in other words VSPERF pushes data using a REST API. The feature is enabled by --opnfvpod parameter on vsperf command line. The value of the parameter sets POD name. Example: --opnfvpod <pod_name> or --opnfvpod=<pod_name> You need to specify installer name. It can be set in conf-file default value: OPNFV_INSTALLER = "Fuel" JIRA: VSPERF-112 Change-Id: I37255414eebcc2ff0c12109c508dcd984663a830 Signed-off-by: Radek Zetik <radekx.zetik@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Maryam Tahhan <maryam.tahhan@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Brian Castelli <brian.castelli@spirent.com>
2015-12-02vnfs: configurable loopback application support inside VMMartin Klozik1-0/+28
For PVP and PVVP deployments, traffic inside virtual machines must be forwarded between its interfaces. There are several forwarding options supported by VSPERF, including DPDK testpmd, Huawei l2fwd kernel module and linux bridge. Another option is, that VM image has built in forwarding functionality and vsperf doesn't configure it itself. User can select VM loopback application by configuration option GUEST_LOOPBACK (per VM) or by SCALAR cli option guest_loopback (global settings). Selected guest loopback application(s) will be written into test results CSV file and test report MD file. Default wildcarded guest login prompt was added. Guest startup guarding timer can be configured. Path to OVS kernel module has been fixed.
