+For VNF scale-up tests we increase the number for VNF worker threads and ports. In the case of VNFs
we also need to increase the number of VCPUs and memory allocated to the VNF.
An example scale-up Heat testcase is:
+.. literalinclude:: /submodules/yardstick/samples/vnf_samples/nsut/vfw/tc_heat_rfc2544_ipv4_1rule_1flow_64B_trex_scale-up.yaml
+ :language: yaml
+
+This testcase template requires specifying the number of VCPUs, Memory and Ports.
+We set the VCPUs and memory using the ``--task-args`` options
+
.. code-block:: console
- <repo>/samples/vnf_samples/nsut/acl/tc_heat_rfc2544_ipv4_1rule_1flow_64B_trex_scale_up.yaml

+In order to support ports scale-up, traffic and topology templates need to be used in testcase.
-.. code-block:: console
+A example topology template is:
+
+.. literalinclude:: /submodules/yardstick/samples/vnf_samples/nsut/vfw/vfw-tg-topology-scale-up.yaml
+ :language: yaml
+
+This template has ``vports`` as an argument. To pass this argument it needs to
+be configured in ``extra_args`` scenario definition. Please note that more
+argument can be defined in that section. All of them will be passed to topology
+and traffic profile templates
+
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
- yardstick --debug task start --task-args='{"mem": 20480, "vcpus": 10}' samples/vnf_samples/nsut/acl/tc_heat_rfc2544_ipv4_1rule_1flow_64B_trex_scale_up.yaml
+ schema: yardstick:task:0.1
+ scenarios:
+ - type: NSPerf
+ traffic_profile: ../../traffic_profiles/ipv4_throughput-scale-up.yaml
+ extra_args:
+ vports: {{ vports }}
+ topology: vfw-tg-topology-scale-up.yaml
+
+A example traffic profile template is:
+
+.. literalinclude:: /submodules/yardstick/samples/vnf_samples/traffic_profiles/ipv4_throughput-scale-up.yaml
+ :language: yaml
+
+There is an option to provide predefined config for SampleVNFs. Path to config
+file may by specified in ``vnf_config`` scenario section.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml

+ vnf__0:
+ rules: acl_1rule.yaml
+ vnf_config: {lb_config: 'SW', file: vfw_vnf_pipeline_cores_4_ports_2_lb_1_sw.conf }
