2017-08-04tests: L3, L4 and VxLAN tests for OVS & VPPMartin Klozik1-8/+19
A set of tests was introduced with focus on L3, L4 and VxLAN performance of OVS and VPP. New testcases were created for phy2phy network scenario. In case of PVP and PVVP, only OVS testcases are available. Notes: * two sets of OVS P2P testcases were created, one creates unique flow for each IP address involved in the test (performance sensitive); Second set inserts just one flow with large network mask (tests with _mask suffix). * three different types of VPP P2P L3 testcases were created to demonstrate performance impact of multi ARP entries or IP routes. * VPP multi ARP record based testcases use a set of "workarounds" to load a large number of ARP entries. It is not possible to use "set ip arp count" syntax, as it doesn't work well for large count values (e.g. 60K) * OVS VxLAN testcases utilize existing OP2P deployment scenario and thus it can be used also with GRE and GENEVE tunnel types. Tunnel type to be used is defined by test configuration option "Tunnel Type".

2017-06-05ci: Fix VPP back2back TCsMartin Klozik1-3/+8
There was a generic issue with restoration of original environment after execution of testcase. Thus in case that multiple tests were executed, their settings could be corrupted. This issue was detected after VPP testcases were added into VSPERF DAILY CI job. There were two issues: * setttings.load_from_dict() method was used to restore original configuration values; However this method updates dict content with supplied values. If TC has introduced new dict item, then it was not removed from settings after TC execution and modified settings was applied also for next test(s). * test configuration passed to testcase constructor is used for initialization of TC members, which are later updated; As python does shallow copy on dict members by default, modification of such testcase members led to corruption of configuration of other testcases. Thus deepcopy of testcase configuration was introduced into vsperf constructor to avoid TC configuration corruption.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Stream specific flows can be pre-installed into the vswitch based on the value of testcase specific configuration option "Pre-installed Flows". In case, it is set to 'Yes', then specific flow for each stream will be inserted into the switch. Otherwise only generic flows will be installed. Default value of "Pre-installed Flows" is set to 'No'. Its value can be overridden by CLI parameter pre-installed_flows. This configuration parameter is an enhancement of "MultiSream" feature and it is ignored if "MultiStream" is disabled. Python module 'netaddr' is required by this implementation and it has been added to requirements.txt file.

Firewall is disabled directly by call of iptables to avoid dependency on distribution specific firewall handling. Default configuration values in 04_vnf.conf were set according to vloop_vnf to make its usage easy. Values are generic enough to work well also with other images. Parameters VANILLA_NICx_NAME and vanilla_nicx_name were renamed to GUEST_NICx_NAME and guest_nicx_name respectively, because they are used for all vswitch versions. Functionality of CLI options was fixed. Default values of GUEST_NICx_NAME were changed to work with vloop_vnf image. Bug with modification of TRAFFIC_DEFAULTS values has been fixed. Deep copy is used and l2 and l3 dictionaries are correctly updated to avoid issues. Qemu disc emulation has been set to SCSI again to avoid error messages related to non-functional DMA in syslog. Appropriate kernel modules were added into vloop_vnf to support scsi disk emulation during boot.

It is possible to define number and type of the streams by testcase definition by options "MultiStream" and "Stream Type" or by CLI parameters "multistream" and "stream_type". CLI options override testcase definition.
