2017-06-23ovs: Update OVS to use DPDK 17.02Martin Klozik1-1/+1
Versions of VSPERF tools were updated to use OVS with DPDK 17.02 support by default. Currently used VPP version uses DPDK 17.02 already. VSPERF was updated to support new path to the dpdk devbind tool.

2017-05-03build: Automated VPP buildMartin Klozik1-4/+6
VSPERF makefiles were updated to automatically download and compile VPP. VPP will not be installed into the OS, but it will be executed from VSPERF's src subdirectory. Thus underlying OS is not affected by VPP build required by VSPERF. It also allows quick switch among different versions of various tools used by VSPERF. As part of this patch, VERIFY and MERGE CI jobs were updated to build VPP and test it with basic set of integration tests.

2017-03-15vpp: Initial support of VPP vSwitchMartin Klozik1-3/+49
Support of VPP was implemented into VSPERF. Initial implementation uses step driven testcases to configure P2P, PVP and PVVP network scenarios. These testcases were prepared for three RFC2544 traffic types, i.e. throughput, continuous stream and back to back. VPP configuration is driven by new configuration option VSWITCH_VPP_ARGS. It is possible to use three types of l2 port connection supported by VPP, i.e. l2 xconnect (default), l2patch and l2 bridge features. Configuration is driven by parameter VSWITCH_VPP_L2_CONNECT_MODE.

2016-11-21ci: Decrease hugepages size for VERIFY&MERGE jobsMartin Klozik1-2/+6
VSPERF by default requires allocation of hugepages with total size of 10GB. However for MERGE and VERIFY jobs less memory is required and default size of 10GB can cause issues. Thus amount of memory was limited and other minor enhancements were introduced: * sysstat system package is installed at nodes running VERIFY and MERGE jobs * WHITELIST_NICS was set to empty list by default to avoid automatic bind of NICs to DPDK. Old default value could cut off network connection to DUT. * imports were fixed at both integration.py and testcase.py JIRA: VSPERF-391 Change-Id: Ic07d68f4591ae697c1b8edeae6c0cffe47c065ce Signed-off-by: Martin Klozik <martinx.klozik@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Al Morton <acmorton@att.com> Reviewed-by: Christian Trautman <ctrautma@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Bill Michalowski <bmichalo@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Antonio Fischetti <antonio.fischetti@intel.com>

2016-09-15paths: Support binary packagesMartin Klozik1-40/+73
Currently VSPERF supports OVS, DPDK and QEMU built from the source code only. In some cases it is required to support installation of these tools from binary packages available for given linux distribution. Thus VSPERF configuration and code was modified to suport both source and binary versions of tools. This can be configured perf tool, so various combinations of source and binary version are supported. Together with new configuration also a handling of kernel modules was modified to automatically detect and load module dependencies.

Adds multi-queue for vanilla OVS using virtio-net. TunTap ports will use multi_queue parameter when ports are created/deleted if guest nic queues are enabled and vswitch is ovs vanilla. Virtio net will now add guest nic queues to qemu command line if appropriate. Reworked multi-queue documentation to reflect these changes. Adds vhost net thread affinitization which is recommended when performing vanilla ovs multi-queue.

2015-06-08framework: Add reworked framework to repoBilly O'Mahony1-0/+78
This commit adds the vSwitch Integration Test Framework whose design, based off TOIT, is outlined in the HLD previously made availiable to the community for review. The design of this framework allows developers to add different implementations of components, specifically vSwitches, Traffic Generators, Metrics Collectors and VNFs, easily. The goal of this design is that all testcases should run regardless of what is "under the hood". This commit adds support for running the framework for a phy to phy RFC2544 testcase only. More testcases will be added by the community. vSwitches supported at this time: * Intel DPDK (r) accelerated OpenvSwitch Traffic Generators supported at this time: * IxNet - IxNetwork Implementation * Ixia - IxExplorer Implementation * Dummy - Manual Implementation Metrics Collectors supported at this time: * Linux Metrics No VNFs are supported at this time but the framework outlines how they should be integrated and provides APIs for them to adhere to.
