2015-08-04Add a simple performance test that sends a continuous streamRadek Zetik1-0/+2
Implement a simple performance test that sends a continuous stream of traffic to the vSwitch at line rate for 30 seconds and measures the throughput Note: there is issue with calculating of the Tx Fps and Mbps based on the results from the IxNetwork traffic generator. This issue will be fixed in a later patch.

2015-07-27testcase: Add frame modification configBilly O'Mahony1-0/+3
* Added a new standard set of flow table that defaults to routing phy1 to phy2 and vice-versa and allows frame modification and tuple matches to be added independently of routing. * Add a FrameMod testcase attribute - implement this for value 'vlan' * With FrameMod == 'vlan' the reported tx_fps and rx_fps figures do not match even for RFC2544 throughtput 0% packet loss - this is a pre-existing bug and a fix will be done as a separate patch. The rx_fps figure is the reliable figure.

2015-06-08framework: Add reworked framework to repoBilly O'Mahony3-0/+168
This commit adds the vSwitch Integration Test Framework whose design, based off TOIT, is outlined in the HLD previously made availiable to the community for review. The design of this framework allows developers to add different implementations of components, specifically vSwitches, Traffic Generators, Metrics Collectors and VNFs, easily. The goal of this design is that all testcases should run regardless of what is "under the hood". This commit adds support for running the framework for a phy to phy RFC2544 testcase only. More testcases will be added by the community. vSwitches supported at this time: * Intel DPDK (r) accelerated OpenvSwitch Traffic Generators supported at this time: * IxNet - IxNetwork Implementation * Ixia - IxExplorer Implementation * Dummy - Manual Implementation Metrics Collectors supported at this time: * Linux Metrics No VNFs are supported at this time but the framework outlines how they should be integrated and provides APIs for them to adhere to.
