conf:Traffic-type naming convention and consistency
Following changes are added following first review 1. Descriptions in integration/01_testcases.conf 2. Comment in conf/01_testcases.conf 3. Checking all cases of traffic types in traffic_controller_rfc2544.py 4. Removing whitespaces 5. Missing changes (throughput->rfc2544_throughput) 6. Syntax error in core/traffic_controller_rfc2544.py Currently the traffic-type values that are provided as part of the test case definition needs some fix to support additional traffic - apart from rfc2544. The Current and the proposed changed is summarized in the below table: |--------------------------------------------------------------------| | Parameter | Existing traffic_type value | Changed to | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Throughput | rfc2544 OR throughput | rfc2544_throughput | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Back2Back | back2back | rfc2544_back2back | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Continuous | continuous | rfc2544_continuous | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA: VSPERF-420 Change-Id: I22bd897f6389d2b568a6a3735c67f0003e813445 Signed-off-by: Sridhar K.
