2019-01-21pkt_gen: STC - Imix Genome SupportSridhar K. N. Rao1-0/+12
This patch adds Imix-Genome support to STC. 1. Imix, of type genome, is included in traffic configuration. 2. The genome is converted to appropriated weights and pkt-sizes. 3. Throughput test is run with imix-configuration. 4. genome configuration is added to results. 5. Added Reporting of Average-Frame-Size - if IMIX is configured. 6. Updated genome comments 7. Clarified the reference to RFC 6985. JIRA: VSPERF-521 Change-Id: I813efb66338ee1d1320a01ce5e0834180461120c Signed-off-by: Sridhar K. N. Rao <sridhar.rao@spirent.com>
2018-11-03Results: Default latency-histrogram with Spirent TestCenterSridhar K. N. Rao1-1/+21
The patch adds support to provide Latency histogram from Spirent traffic generator. 1. 03_traffic.conf: Enable histogram, and set type (default) 2. testcenter.py: If histogram enabled, call the script with right flag. 3. testcenter-rfc2544-rest.py: configure and write histogram to a separte file in the default results folder. 4. Fix PyLint Errors 5. Adding a patch to test the 'build-error-fix'. Increased the MAX_MEMSEG of in DPDK-config to 1024 6. Adding MAX_MEMSEG configuration at common_base didn't work. 7. Included packet sizes in the output. 8. Included description under spirent TGen 9. Removed MAX_MEMSEG configuration.

Adds calculations to deal with values greater than 64k by doing a square root of the multistream value and using two mods to create the closet possible value that will work within the current implementation of multistream in VSPerf.

2018-04-16scapy: Load default SCAPY protocolsMartin Klozik1-9/+5
After the fix of SCAPY library import, it was not possible to use some of the network protocols by T-Rex. T-Rex 2.38 uses by default SCAPY 2.3.1 for python3, but it overrides the default set of network protocols loaded by layers/all.py. VSPERF makefile was modified to restore original version of all.py from SCAPY 2.3.1 git repository. Also examples of scapy usage were updated to generate correct traffic with modified scapy version.

Adds forcable option to have user specify maximum speed 3. If logic cannot detect speed from port_info because it is not available or the forcable option is not set it will assume 10G speeds. 4. Tested on Intel XXV25G and Mellanox ConnectX-5 cards 5. Added packet structure logging to show packet info for better debugging capabilities 6.

Adds option to enable promiscuous mode for Trex traffic generator to allow for SR-IOV tests to work correctly. Trex by default only accepts packets based on destination MAC address matching what is configured on server in /etc/trex-cfg.yaml. This removes that limitation since SR-IOV tests require mac addresses to be modified in the generated packets to correctly route packets to the relevant VFs.

2017-04-19ixia: Support of 1 NIC connection to trafficgenMartin Klozik1-0/+8
For some testcases it is useful to have only one connection between traffic generator and DUT. Thus IxNet class was extended to support such connection. Feature is enabled if both IXIA ports are set to the same value. New integration testcase ixnet_pvp_tput_1nic was created to demonstrate this feature. Unused code was removed from 3rd_party/ixia/ixnetrfc2544.tcl to simplify introduction of new features and to speed up IXIA configuration.
