2016-08-24Vanilla_Multi_Queue: Add vanilla ovs multi-queue functionalityChristian Trautman1-7/+19
Adds multi-queue for vanilla OVS using virtio-net. TunTap ports will use multi_queue parameter when ports are created/deleted if guest nic queues are enabled and vswitch is ovs vanilla. Virtio net will now add guest nic queues to qemu command line if appropriate. Reworked multi-queue documentation to reflect these changes. Adds vhost net thread affinitization which is recommended when performing vanilla ovs multi-queue. Guests will require ethtool if using l2fwd or linux bridge as the loopback application when vanilla ovs multi-queue is enabled. Modified dpdk setting in vswitch conf to be better worded for separation from vanilla ovs multi-queue. Updated release and installation doc for new vloop image that includes required ethtool utility.

2015-12-02vnfs: configurable loopback application support inside VMMartin Klozik1-53/+0
For PVP and PVVP deployments, traffic inside virtual machines must be forwarded between its interfaces. There are several forwarding options supported by VSPERF, including DPDK testpmd, Huawei l2fwd kernel module and linux bridge. Another option is, that VM image has built in forwarding functionality and vsperf doesn't configure it itself. User can select VM loopback application by configuration option GUEST_LOOPBACK (per VM) or by SCALAR cli option guest_loopback (global settings). Selected guest loopback application(s) will be written into test results CSV file and test report MD file. Default wildcarded guest login prompt was added. Guest startup guarding timer can be configured. Path to OVS kernel module has been fixed.

2015-10-12Enable PVP and PVVP deployments for Vanilla OVSMartin Klozik1-0/+115
Support for PVP and PVVP scenerios using Vanilla OVS was added. VMs are configured to forward traffic between virtual interfaces by standard linux capabilities. Traffic generator script was updated to accept MAC and IP address configuration to allow VM forwarding configuration.
