2016-01-22pkt_gen: support of standalone execution of traffic generatorMartin Klozik1-5/+52
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/+46
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.
