Enable PVVP deployment for DPDK Vhost User and Vhost Cuse
Generic PVVP deployment support has been added. Two new testcase scenarios for throughput and back2back tests with PVVP deployment were added. Original implementation of PVP has been refactored Following files were affected: modified: conf/01_testcases.conf modified: conf/02_vswitch.conf modified: conf/04_vnf.conf modified: core/__init__.py modified: core/component_factory.py modified: core/loader/loader_servant.py modified: core/vnf_controller.py deleted: core/vnf_controller_p2p.py deleted: core/vnf_controller_pvp.py modified: core/vswitch_controller_p2p.py modified: core/vswitch_controller_pvp.py new file: core/vswitch_controller_pvvp.py modified: docs/to-be-reorganized/NEWS.rst modified: docs/to-be-reorganized/quickstart.rst modified: src/dpdk/dpdk.py modified: src/ovs/ofctl.py modified: testcases/testcase.py modified: tools/tasks.py new file: vnfs/qemu/qemu.py new file: vnfs/qemu/qemu_dpdk.py modified: vnfs/qemu/qemu_dpdk_vhost_cuse.py modified: vnfs/qemu/qemu_dpdk_vhost_user.py modified: vnfs/vnf/vnf.py modified: vswitches/ovs_dpdk_vhost.py Change-Id: Ib6869a29337a184cb58c57fd96bba1183aba00ab JIRA: VSPERF-68, VSPERF-69 Signed-off-by: Martin Klozik (martinx.klozik@intel.com) Reviewed-by: Maryam Tahhan <maryam.tahhan@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Brian Castelli <brian.castelli@spirent.com>
