2017-03-15vpp: Initial support of VPP vSwitchMartin Klozik2-5/+46
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.

2017-01-30docs: Remove hyperlinks to docs in artifactsMartin Klozik5-58/+23
It is possible to use sphinx cross referencing feature in case, that only one level of toctree is used. Thus documentation was reorganized to utilize just one top level index with toctree. After that it was possible to use rst native syntax to create a cross links among vsperf documentation chapters. As a result only 2 hyperlinks to the yardstick documentation are version specific.

2017-01-16traffic: Configurable traffic detailsMartin Klozik4-55/+41
Traffic generated by traffic generator is based on default values and their modifications specific to particular testing scenario. Traffic default values were defined inside VSPERF code and it was not possible to change them. This patch introduces new TRAFFIC dictionary inside 03_traffic.conf. Thus user can modify any of TRAFFIC values either in configuration file or by CLI or by 'Parameters' section of testcase definition. Following CLI options were obsoleted by this patch: 'bidirectional', 'traffic_type', 'iload', 'multistream', 'stream_type' and 'pre-installed_flows' Following CLI option was renamed to be consistent with other options: 'tunnel_type' => 'TUNNEL_TYPE' Following sections of testcase definition were obsoleted: "Traffic Type", "biDirectional", "MultiStream", "Stream Type", "Pre-installed Flows", "Flow Type" and "iLoad" New TRAFFIC dictionary should be used instead of old CLI options and old testcase definition sections. Testcase definitons, yardstick sample testcases and documentation were updated to reflect configuration changes.

2016-07-08yardstick: Documentation and YAML testcase definitionsMartin Klozik2-0/+224
Yardstick supports execution of vsperf specific testcases. These testcases are specified by YAML files located inside yardstick/tests directory. Documentation describing yardstick usage and execution of vsperf testcases is part of the userguide.

2016-05-06dpdk: Support new way of DPDK configuration in ovs-vswitchdMartin Klozik1-0/+10
Configuration of DPDK options in ovs-vswitchd has changed. Previously used option --dpdk was deprecated and all DPDK related options have to be configured through ovsdb via ovs-vsctl calls. VSPERF was modified to detect and use correct version of DPDK configuration. New configuration options should be put into VSWITCHD_DPDK_CONFIG dictionary. VSPERF classes specific to OVS were refactored.

2016-04-14sriov: Support of SRIOV and Qemu PCI passthroughMartin Klozik2-2/+61
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.

2016-03-21integration: Support of integration testcasesMartin Klozik1-11/+11
Generic support for integration testcases with first set of tests for vswitch testing. New test option "TestSteps" has been introduced to define test step by step directly in configuration file. In case that this concept will be accepted, there are plenty of possibilities for future improvements. For example: * use it also for performance tests without explicit call of validation methods * introduce step macros for repetitive scenarios, so new tests can be easily written * further generalization, which would go beyond usage of controllers and will operate directly with vswitch, vnf and trafficgen objects Change-Id: Ifad166c8ef9cfbda6694682fe6b3421e0e97bbf2 JIRA: VSPERF-212 Signed-off-by: Martin Klozik <martinx.klozik@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Maryam Tahhan <maryam.tahhan@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Al Morton <acmorton@att.com> Reviewed-by: Christian Trautman <ctrautma@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Brian Castelli <brian.castelli@spirent.com>
