2016-08-04bugfix: Harmonize test/trial RFC2544 terminologyMartin Klozik1-2/+2
VSPERF framework was updated to follow RFC2544 definition of 'test' and 'trial' terms. Test parameter 'rfc2544_trials' was replaced by new parameter 'rfc2544_tests'. Both code and documentation were updated to reflect these changes.

2016-08-03pkt_gen: MoonGen start rates not correctbmichalo1-0/+2
The VSPERF traffic profile for starting rate is in a percentage of line rate. MoonGen programs its starting rate as Mpps. Therefore the traffic profile for VSPERF needs to be converted to a MoonGen format. There was a hardcoding of 14.88 that was used for the starting frame rate for all frame sizes. This needs to be corrected to take into account all frame sizes. JIRA: VSPERF-350 Change-Id: Ied71668a560d7d2b03483f9a1192dd2fb4965996 Signed-off-by: bmichalo <bmichalo@redhat.com>

2016-04-07pkt_gen: Adding Support of testcenter traffic generation using STC REST API.sridharkn1-0/+16
Stcrestclient package based script is added. Support for RFC22544 backtoback, latency, frameloss are also added, along with the throughput. Comments Addressed: 1. Parameter name consistency. Ex: use duration (refer dummy.py). 2. Moved 'only the necessary contents of README to configguide/trafficgen.rst. 3. Removed README file 4. Commit message format (pkt_gen: and linewrap) 5. Merged 4 scripts (throughput/backtoback/latency/frameloss) that were rest-based into one single script. Name: testcenter-rfc2544-test.py 6. Changed year to 2016 7. Moved imports to the top (testcenter-rfc2544-rest.py) 8. Changed prints to Log (testcenter-rfc2544-rest.py) 9. Reporting the frame loss percentage. 10. Calls to frameloss and latency are not added as the 'caller' class TrafficControllerRFC2544 is only calling backtoback and throughput. 11. Changed Exception, e to Exception as e for python 3 compatibility 12. Remaining prints to debug and logger.error for errors. 13. Moved Session creation under try block. 14. Removed deadcode 15. Fixed missing docstring 16. Generic to specific Exception. 17. if-if to if-elif 18. Debug level logging only under verbose flag. 19. Fixed Arguments mismatch. 20. Ordering of the imports Note: The testcenter-rfc2544-rest.py is spawned as a separate process, and need not be wrapped in a class.
