From 1e546c19ff98df25b81ed2c51f0c0d82023be4bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Morton Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2015 00:44:50 +0100 Subject: test_spec: Fix WIDE Fig and Note need for full-mesh ports in RFC2889 tests The RFC 2889 tests require Full Mesh on multiple ports. Modify the bunny-ears fig to show this (and address -99 in the process) JIRA: VSPERF-99 JIRA: VSPERF-101 Change-Id: Id67cb5ef6748c83858a90033534f960874614c06 Signed-off-by: Al Morton Reviewed-by: Maryam Tahhan --- docs/to-be-reorganized/vswitchperf_ltd.rst | 72 +++++++++++++++++------------- 1 file changed, 41 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-) (limited to 'docs/to-be-reorganized/vswitchperf_ltd.rst') diff --git a/docs/to-be-reorganized/vswitchperf_ltd.rst b/docs/to-be-reorganized/vswitchperf_ltd.rst index 9277535c..519d5405 100644 --- a/docs/to-be-reorganized/vswitchperf_ltd.rst +++ b/docs/to-be-reorganized/vswitchperf_ltd.rst @@ -272,9 +272,9 @@ Physical port → vSwitch → VNF → vSwitch → VNF → vSwitch → physical p | +--------------+ +--------------+ | | | | phy ports | vSwitch | phy ports | | | +---+--------------+----------+--------------+---+ _| - ^ : ^ : + ^ ^ : : | | | | - : v : v + : : v v +--------------------------------------------------+ | | | traffic generator | @@ -397,42 +397,52 @@ virtual switch → Physical port) .. code-block:: console + _ + +----------------------+ +----------------------+ | + | Guest 1 | | Guest 2 | | + | +---------------+ | | +---------------+ | | + | | Application | | | | Application | | | + | +---------------+ | | +---------------+ | | + | ^ | | | ^ | | | + | | v | | | v | | Guests + | +---------------+ | | +---------------+ | | + | | logical ports | | | | logical ports | | | + | | 0 1 | | | | 0 1 | | | + +---+---------------+--+ +---+---------------+--+ _| + ^ : ^ : + | | | | + : v : v _ + +---+---------------+--+ +---+---------------+--+ | + | | 0 1 | | | | 3 4 | | | + | | logical ports | | | | logical ports | | | + | +---------------+ | | +---------------+ | | + | ^ | | | ^ | | | Hosts + | | v | | | v | | + | +--------------+ | | +--------------+ | | + | | phy ports | | | | phy ports | | | + +---+--------------+---+ +---+--------------+---+ _| + ^ : : : + | +-----------------+ | + : v + +--------------------------------------------------+ + | | + | traffic generator | + | | + +--------------------------------------------------+ + - +--------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------+ - | +---------------------------------+ | | +--------------------------------+ | - | | Application | | | | Application | | - | +----------------------------+----+ | | +-------------------------+------+ | - | ^ | | | ^ | | - | | v | | | v | - | +------------------+ +------------------+ | | +------------------+ +----------------+ | - | | Logical port 0 | | Logical port 1 | | | | Logical port 0 | | Logical port 1 | | - +-+------------------+--+------------------+-+ +-+------------------+--+----------------+-+ - ^ | ^ | - | | | | - | v | v - +-+------------------+--+------------------+-+ +-+------------------+--+----------------+-+ - | | Logical port 0 | | Logical port 1 | | | | Logical port 0 | | Logical port 1 | | - | +------------------+ +------------------+ | | +------------------+ +----------------+ | - | ^ | | | ^ | | - | | | | | | | | - | | vswitch v | | | vswitch v | - | +--------+---------+ +------------------+ | | +------------------+ +----------------+ | - | | phy port | | phy port | | | | phy port | | phy port | | - +-+------------------+--+------------------+-+ +-+------------------+--+----------------+-+ - ^ | ^ | - | | | | - | ------------------------ v - +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ - | | - | traffic generator | - | | - +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ **Note:** For tests where the traffic generator and/or measurement receiver are implemented on VM and connected to the virtual switch through vNIC, the issues of shared resources and interactions between the measurement devices and the device under test must be considered. +**Note:** Some RFC 2889 tests require a full-mesh sending and receiving +pattern involving more than two ports.
