2016-11-09cli: Modify configuration via CLIMartin Klozik23-170/+257
In the past, only a few configuration parameters could be modified via --test-params CLI argument and it was not easy to find out their complete list. This patch adds support for generic modification of any configuration parameter via CLI argument --test-params or by "Parameters" section of testcase definition. Thus it is possible to customize a vsperf configuration environment per testcase or for each vsperf execution. Old CLI parameters duration, pkt_sizes, rfc2544_tests and rfc2889_trials were renamed to TRAFFICGEN_DURATION, TRAFFICGEN_PKT_SIZES, TRAFFICGEN_RFC2544_TESTS and TRAFFICGEN_RFC2889_TRIALS to be consistent with other configuration parameters.

2016-11-04bugfix: Trafficgen Ixia does not workMartin Klozik4-6/+16
IXIA traffic generator can be controlled by two different VSPERF's wrappers IxNet (preferred) and Ixia (legacy and outdated). It has been found, that Ixia wrapper can't be used because of missing "packetsize" traffic item. Also only IXIA OS 6.60 was supported and never IXIA OS versions were not working. Both limitations were fixed. Also reported results were fixed to show correct values for MBPS items.

2016-10-27teststeps: Generic support of step driven testsMartin Klozik13-1008/+1055
In the past, step driven testcases were supported only by integration testcases. This patch adds generic support of TestSteps for both integration and performance testcases. Step driven test were improved to support modification of existing deployment. As part of the patch a refactoring of traffic controllers were performed. Traffic controllers were modified to support trafficgen-off and trafficgen-pause modes in all possible ways of trafficgen invocation.

Open vSwitch with DPDK can optimize memory usage in case of NUMA architecture to avoid unnecessary memory access across NUMA slots. In a nutshell, PMD threads serving virtual NICs are co-located at the same NUMA slot as QEMU instance, which is using these NICs. This patch adds new (functional) integration testcase, which verifies OVS vHost User numa awareness feature. Step driven test objects were updated to allow a call of OS utilies and evaluation of conditions. Also the documentation was updated with the list of supported test objects and their methods.
