2016-12-07conf:Traffic-type naming convention and consistencySridhar K. N. Rao1-1/+1
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.

2016-11-09cli: Modify configuration via CLIMartin Klozik1-2/+3
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.

2016-08-24Vanilla_Multi_Queue: Add vanilla ovs multi-queue functionalityChristian Trautman1-0/+1
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. Guests will require ethtool if using l2fwd or linux bridge as the loopback application when vanilla ovs multi-queue is enabled. Modified dpdk setting in vswitch conf to be better worded for separation from vanilla ovs multi-queue. Updated release and installation doc for new vloop image that includes required ethtool utility.

Measure OVS DPDK and native VXLAN/GRE/GENEVE encapsulation performance. This patch creates a new deployment scenario, Overlay_P2P. The DUT is configured as a TEP (Tunnel Endpoint) which performs encapsulation of frames and sends traffic to the 2nd traffic generator port. The traffic generator in this case receives an encapsulated frame. No decapsulation is performed in this testcase. Introduce a vsperf param, --run-integration, to filter tests to integration tests. When running integration tests, variables defined in the directory conf/integration/*conf as well as the conf/*.conf are available. This test case requires DPDK 2.1.0 and OVS master - 6bb4a18 or newer.
