+Overview of test results
+------------------------
+
+See Grafana_ for viewing test result metrics for each respective test case. It
+is possible to chose which specific scenarios to look at, and then to zoom in
+on the details of each run test scenario as well.
+
+All of the test case results below are based on 4 scenario test runs, each run
+on the LF POD1_ between September 14 and 17 in 2016.
+
+TC002
+-----
+The round-trip-time (RTT) between 2 VMs on different blades is measured using
+ping. Most test run measurements result on average between 0.49 ms and 0.60 ms.
+Only one test run has reached greatest RTT spike of 0.93 ms. Meanwhile, the
+smallest network latency is 0.33 ms, which is obtained on Sep. 14th.
+SLA set to be 10 ms. The SLA value is used as a reference, it has not been
+defined by OPNFV.
+
+TC005
+-----
+The IO read bandwidth actually refers to the storage throughput, which is
+measured by fio and the greatest IO read bandwidth of the four runs is 416
+MB/s. The IO read bandwidth of all four runs looks similar, with an average
+between 128 and 131 MB/s. One of the runs has a minimum BW of 497 KB/s. The SLA
+of read bandwidth sets to be 400 MB/s, which is used as a reference, and it has
+not been defined by OPNFV.
+
+The results of storage IOPS for the four runs look similar with each other. The
+IO read times per second of the four test runs have an average value at 1k per
+second, and meanwhile, the minimum result is only 45 times per second.
+
+TC010
+-----
+The tool we use to measure memory read latency is lmbench, which is a series of
+micro benchmarks intended to measure basic operating system and hardware system
+metrics. The memory read latency of the four runs is between 1.0859 ns and
+1.0869 ns on average. The variations within each test run are quite different,
+some vary from a large range and others have a small change. For example, the
+largest change is on September 14th, the memory read latency of which is ranging
+from 1.091 ns to 1.086 ns. However.
+The SLA sets to be 30 ns. The SLA value is used as a reference, it has not been
+defined by OPNFV.
+
+TC011
+-----
+Packet delay variation between 2 VMs on different blades is measured using
+Iperf3. On the first two test runs the reported packet delay variation varies between
+0.0037 and 0.0740 ms, with an average delay variation between 0.0096 ms and 0.0321.
+On the second date the delay variation varies between 0.0063 and 0.0096 ms, with
+an average delay variation of 0.0124 - 0.0141 ms.
+
+TC012
+-----
+Lmbench is also used to measure the memory read and write bandwidth, in which
+we use bw_mem to obtain the results. Among the four test runs, the trend of
+three memory bandwidth almost look similar, which all have a narrow range, and
+the average result is 19.88 GB/s. Here SLA set to be 15 GB/s. The SLA value is
+used as a reference, it has not been defined by OPNFV.
+
+TC014
+-----
+The Unixbench is used to evaluate the IaaS processing speed with regards to
+score of single cpu running and parallel running. It can be seen from the
+dashboard that the processing test results vary from scores 3754k to 3831k, and
+there is only one result one date. No SLA set.
+
+TC037
+-----
+The amount of packets per second (PPS) and round trip times (RTT) between 2 VMs
+on different blades are measured when increasing the amount of UDP flows sent
+between the VMs using pktgen as packet generator tool.
+
+Round trip times and packet throughput between VMs can typically be affected by
+the amount of flows set up and result in higher RTT and less PPS throughput.
+
+The mean packet throughput of the four test runs is between 307.3 kpps and
+447.1 kpps, of which the result of the third run is the highest. The RTT
+results of all the test runs keep flat at approx. 15 ms. It is obvious that the
+PPS results are not as consistent as the RTT results.
+
+The No. flows of the four test runs are 240 k on average and the PPS results
+look a little waved since the largest packet throughput is 418.1 kpps and the
+minimum throughput is 326.5 kpps respectively.
+
+There are no errors of packets received in the four runs, but there are still
+lost packets in all the test runs. The RTT values obtained by ping of the four
+runs have the similar average vaue, that is approx. 15 ms.
+
+CPU load is measured by mpstat, and CPU load of the four test runs seem a
+little similar, since the minimum value and the peak of CPU load is between 0
+percent and nine percent respectively. And the best result is obtained on Sep.
+1, with an CPU load of nine percent. But on the whole, the CPU load is very
+poor, since the average value is quite small.
+
+TC069
+-----
+With the block size changing from 1 kb to 512 kb, the memory write bandwidth
+tends to become larger first and then smaller within every run test, which
+rangs from 28.2 GB/s to 29.5 GB/s and then to 29.2 GB/s on average. Since the
+test id is one, it is that only the INT memory write bandwidth is tested. On
+the whole, when the block size is 2 kb or 16 kb, the memory write bandwidth
+look similar with a minimal BW of 25.8 GB/s and peak value of 28.3 GB/s. And
+then with the block size becoming larger, the memory write bandwidth tends to
+decrease. SLA sets to be 7 GB/s. The SLA value is used as a reference, it has
+not been defined by OPNFV.
+
+TC070
+-----
+The amount of packets per second (PPS) and round trip times (RTT) between 2 VMs
+on different blades are measured when increasing the amount of UDP flows sent
+between the VMs using pktgen as packet generator tool.
+
+Round trip times and packet throughput between VMs can typically be affected by
+the amount of flows set up and result in higher RTT and less PPS throughput.
+
+The network latency is measured by ping, and the results of the four test runs
+look similar with each other, and within these test runs, the maximum RTT can
+reach 39 ms and the average RTT is usually approx. 15 ms. The network latency
+tested on Sep. 1 and Sep. 8 have a peak latency of 39 ms. But on the whole,
+the average RTTs of the five runs keep flat and the network latency is
+relatively short.
+
+Memory utilization is measured by free, which can display amount of free and
+used memory in the system. The largest amount of used memory is 267 MiB for the
+four runs. In general, the four test runs have very large memory utilization,
+which can reach 257 MiB on average. On the other hand, for the mean free memory,
+the four test runs have the similar trend with that of the mean used memory.
+In general, the mean free memory change from 233 MiB to 241 MiB.
+
+Packet throughput and packet loss can be measured by pktgen, which is a tool
+in the network for generating traffic loads for network experiments. The mean
+packet throughput of the four test runs seem quite different, ranging from
+305.3 kpps to 447.1 kpps. The average number of flows in these tests is
+240000, and each run has a minimum number of flows of 2 and a maximum number
+of flows of 1.001 Mil. At the same time, the corresponding average packet
+throughput is between 354.4 kpps and 381.8 kpps. In summary, the PPS results
+seem consistent. Within each test run of the four runs, when number of flows
+becomes larger, the packet throughput seems not larger at the same time.

+The amount of packets per second (PPS) and round trip times (RTT) between 2 VMs

+
+Round trip times and packet throughput between VMs can typically be affected by

+
+The network latency is measured by ping, and the results of the four test runs
+look similar with each other. Within each test run, the maximum RTT is only 42
+ms and the average RTT is usually approx. 15 ms. On the whole, the average
+RTTs of the four runs keep stable and the network latency is relatively small.
+
+Cache utilization is measured by cachestat, which can display size of cache and
+buffer in the system. Cache utilization statistics are collected during UDP
+flows sent between the VMs using pktgen as packet generator tool. The largest
+cache size is 212 MiB, which is same for the four runs, and the smallest cache
+size is 75 MiB. On the whole, the average cache size of the four runs look the
+same and is between 197 MiB and 211 MiB. Meanwhile, the tread of the buffer
+size keep flat, since they have a minimum value of 7 MiB and a maximum value of
+8 MiB, with an average value of about 7.9 MiB.
+
+Packet throughput can be measured by pktgen, which is a tool in the network for
+generating traffic loads for network experiments. The mean packet throughput of
+the four test runs differ from 354.4 kpps to 381.8 kpps. The average number of
+flows in these tests is 240k, and each run has a minimum number of flows of 2
+and a maximum number of flows of 1.001 Mil. At the same time, the corresponding
+packet throughput differ between 305.3 kpps to 447.1 kpps. Within each test run
+of the four runs, when number of flows becomes larger, the packet throughput
+seems not larger in the meantime.

+The amount of packets per second (PPS) and round trip times (RTT) between 2 VMs
+on different blades are measured when increasing the amount of UDP flows sent
+between the VMs using pktgen as packet generator tool.
+
+Round trip times and packet throughput between VMs can typically be affected by
+the amount of flows set up and result in higher RTT and less PPS throughput.
+
+The RTT results are similar throughout the different test dates and runs
+between 0 ms and 42 ms with an average leatency of less than 15 ms. The PPS
+results are not as consistent as the RTT results, for the mean packet
+throughput of the four runs differ from 354.4 kpps to 381.8 kpps.
+
+Network utilization is measured by sar, that is system activity reporter, which
+can display the average statistics for the time since the system was started.
+Network utilization statistics are collected during UDP flows sent between the
+VMs using pktgen as packet generator tool. The largest total number of packets
+transmitted per second look similar for three test runs, whose values change a
+lot from 10 pps to 501 kpps. While results of the rest test run seem the same
+and keep stable with the average number of packets transmitted per second of 10
+pps. However, the total number of packets received per second of the four runs
+look similar, which have a large wide range of 2 pps to 815 kpps.
+
+In some test runs when running with less than approx. 251000 flows the PPS
+throughput is normally flatter compared to when running with more flows, after
+which the PPS throughput decreases. For the other test runs there is however no
+significant change to the PPS throughput when the number of flows are
+increased. In some test runs the PPS is also greater with 251000 flows
+compared to other test runs where the PPS result is less with only 2 flows.
+
+There are lost packets reported in most of the test runs. There is no observed
+correlation between the amount of flows and the amount of lost packets.
+The lost amount of packets normally differs a lot per test run.
