2018-05-28connections: Introduction of generic APIMartin Klozik1-4/+4
Redesign of vSwitch and vSwitch controller classes, to use generic connection methods for configuration of vSwitch. This API is more generic and vSwitch agnostic, thus deployment scenarios like P2P, PVP, PVVP (i.e. PVVPx) can be used for all (currently) supported vSwitches. Usage of new API will simplify an introduction of new vSwitches in the future. This patchset introduces following changes: * OVS: implementation of add_, del_, dump_ connection(s) and their validation methods * VPP: bidir parameter removed - it is up to the deployment scenario implementation to take care about bidirectional connections * P2P and PXP controllers were updated to use connection methods instead of flow related methods. Thus standard TCs will support both OVS and VPP. NOTE, PVPV is not supported for VPP (yet?). * refactoring of vSwitch interfaces and inherited classes * VPP step driven TCs were replaced by standard TCs with appropriate deployment scenarios. This is for backward compatibility with TC reporting. Once reporting of VPP TC results into results DB will be modified, this TCs can be removed. * OVS routing tables support was generalized to support P2P and PXP deployments and step driven TCs. Usage of OVS routing tables is now configurable (turned off by default) for better comparison of results among various vSwitches. * Multistream pre_installed_flows feature was generalized to support P2P and PXP deployments and step driven TCs. * IxNet: TRAFFIC['l4']['dstport'] will be used as a start value for port iteration if L4 multistream feature is enabled. * OVS: default flow template is now configurable via OVS_FLOW_TEMPLATE * OVS: support of TRAFFIC['flow_type']='ip' was generalized to work with connection methods (i.e. with P2P and PXP deployments and step driven TCs) * integration TCs: modification of integration TCs and their macros to utilize new generic connection based API * CI: list of TCs for VERIFY & MERGE jobs was changed to run the same generic tests for both OVS & VPP * documentation update * small fixes and improvements JIRA: VSPERF-579 Change-Id: If4e6e6037929eab9f16c2bbcb8a0fb30e5d6f9b0 Signed-off-by: Martin Klozik <martin.klozik@tieto.com> Reviewed-by: Richard Elias <richard.elias@tieto.com> Reviewed-by: Al Morton <acmorton@att.com> Reviewed-by: Christian Trautman <ctrautma@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Sridhar Rao <sridhar.rao@spirent.com>

2017-03-30jumbo_frame: Add jumbo frame supportChristian Trautman1-0/+5
Add jumbo frame support for all packet forwarding applications inside guest for pxp testing. Enable jumbo frame support for OvsVanilla, OvsDpdkVhostUser, and Packet forwarding. Add minor fix for missing method issue when running packet forwarding tests. The get_version method was missing in the packet_forwaring core module.

2017-01-18testpmd_pvp_fix: Fix SR-IOV QemuPciPassthrough mode to not use vdevChristian Trautman1-3/+5
A recent patch introduced a bug where SR-IOV would use code designed for use with testpmd_pvp scenarios. This is because this scenario also calls for the vswitch=none flag. This patch resolves this issue to stop the vdev devices from being added when the vnf is specified as QemuPciPassthrough.

2017-01-13testpmd_pvp: Adds pkt_fwd to allow pvp topology testingChristian Trautman1-1/+16
Requires DPDK 16.11 or greater to support vdev flags. Initial support for TestPMD to support guests. Allows vsperf to execute TestPMD as a switch for pvp test scenarios. Can be increased in functionality later to support multiple guest configs.

2016-04-14sriov: Support of SRIOV and Qemu PCI passthroughMartin Klozik1-3/+6
Generic support of SRIOV has been added. Virtual interfaces can be used in multiplei scenarios instead of physical NICs. Virtual functions can be directly accessed from VM by PCI passthrough method. Another option is to use VFs with vSwtich to evaluate impact on performance. Additonal modifications: * Automatic detection of NIC details has been added to simplify configuration. * Obsoleted configuration options have been removed. * Logging usage within vsperf script was fixed. * Vsperf main was refactored and final cleanup function added. * Configurable forwarding mode of TestPMD executed inside VM.

2016-01-22pkt_gen: support of standalone execution of traffic generatorMartin Klozik1-3/+7
Support for multiple modes of VSPERF operation has been added. These modes can be used for standalone execution of traffic generator or for manual testing or for execution of unsupported traffic generator. Supported modes are: "normal" - execute vSwitch, VNF and traffic generator; "trafficgen" - execute only traffic generator; "trafficgen-off" - execute vSwitch and VNF. Normal mode is selected by default. In case that trafficgen mode is selected, then various --test-params could be specified to affect traffic generator configuration. These parameters include traffic type, frame rate, bidirectional and scalability settings. Selection of transport protocol is not supported by IxNet yet (UDP is enforced), thus modification of transport protocol from command line is not supported too. Fixes of testpmd and qemu warning patches are inclduded.

2016-01-21Add testpmd as vswitch classRobert Wojciechowicz1-0/+68
The purpose of using testpmd instead of OVS is to get the baseline of the DUT when performing hardware offloading operations. There are supported different checksum calculation and txq flags settings.
