-Yardstick - NSB Testing - Operation
-===================================
-
-Abstract
---------
-
-NSB test configuration and OpenStack setup requirements
-
-
-OpenStack Network Configuration
--------------------------------
-
-NSB requires certain OpenStack deployment configurations.
-For optimal VNF characterization using external traffic generators NSB requires
-provider/external networks.
-
-
-Provider networks
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The VNFs require a clear L2 connect to the external network in order to generate
-realistic traffic from multiple address ranges and port
-
-In order to prevent Neutron from filtering traffic we have to disable Neutron Port Security.
-We also disable DHCP on the data ports because we are binding the ports to DPDK and do not need
-DHCP addresses. We also disable gateways because multiple default gateways can prevent SSH access
-to the VNF from the floating IP. We only want a gateway on the mgmt network
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
- uplink_0:
- cidr: '10.1.0.0/24'
- gateway_ip: 'null'
- port_security_enabled: False
- enable_dhcp: 'false'
-
-Heat Topologies
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-By default Heat will attach every node to every Neutron network that is created.
-For scale-out tests we do not want to attach every node to every network.
-
-For each node you can specify which ports are on which network using the
-network_ports dictionary.
-
-In this example we have ``TRex xe0 <-> xe0 VNF xe1 <-> xe0 UDP_Replay``
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
- vnf_0:
- floating_ip: true
- placement: "pgrp1"
- network_ports:
- mgmt:
- - mgmt
- uplink_0:
- - xe0
- downlink_0:
- - xe1
- tg_0:
- floating_ip: true
- placement: "pgrp1"
- network_ports:
- mgmt:
- - mgmt
- uplink_0:
- - xe0
- # Trex always needs two ports
- uplink_1:
- - xe1
- tg_1:
- floating_ip: true
- placement: "pgrp1"
- network_ports:
- mgmt:
- - mgmt
- downlink_0:
- - xe0
-
-Collectd KPIs
--------------
-
-NSB can collect KPIs from collected. We have support for various plugins enabled by the
-Barometer project.
-
-The default yardstick-samplevnf has collectd installed. This allows for collecting KPIs
-from the VNF.
-
-Collecting KPIs from the NFVi is more complicated and requires manual setup.
-We assume that collectd is not installed on the compute nodes.
-
-To collectd KPIs from the NFVi compute nodes:
-
-
- * install_collectd on the compute nodes
- * create pod.yaml for the compute nodes
- * enable specific plugins depending on the vswitch and DPDK
-
- example pod.yaml section for Compute node running collectd.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
- -
- name: "compute-1"
- role: Compute
- ip: "10.1.2.3"
- user: "root"
- ssh_port: "22"
- password: ""
- collectd:
- interval: 5
- plugins:
- # for libvirtd stats
- virt: {}
- intel_pmu: {}
- ovs_stats:
- # path to OVS socket
- ovs_socket_path: /var/run/openvswitch/db.sock
- intel_rdt: {}
-
-
-
-Scale-Up
---------
-
-VNFs performance data with scale-up
-
- * Helps to figure out optimal number of cores specification in the Virtual Machine template creation or VNF
- * Helps in comparison between different VNF vendor offerings
- * Better the scale-up index, indicates the performance scalability of a particular solution
-
-Heat
-^^^^
-
-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
-
- yardstick task start --task-args='{"mem": 10480, "vcpus": 4, "ports": 2}' \
- samples/vnf_samples/nsut/vfw/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.
-
-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
-
- 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 }
-
-
-Baremetal
-^^^^^^^^^
- 1. Follow above traffic generator section to setup.
- 2. edit num of threads in ``<repo>/samples/vnf_samples/nsut/vfw/tc_baremetal_rfc2544_ipv4_1rule_1flow_64B_trex_scale_up.yaml``
-
- e.g, 6 Threads for given VNF
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-
- schema: yardstick:task:0.1
- scenarios:
- {% for worker_thread in [1, 2 ,3 , 4, 5, 6] %}
- - type: NSPerf
- traffic_profile: ../../traffic_profiles/ipv4_throughput.yaml
- topology: vfw-tg-topology.yaml
- nodes:
- tg__0: trafficgen_1.yardstick
- vnf__0: vnf.yardstick
- options:
- framesize:
- uplink: {64B: 100}
- downlink: {64B: 100}
- flow:
- src_ip: [{'tg__0': 'xe0'}]
- dst_ip: [{'tg__0': 'xe1'}]
- count: 1
- traffic_type: 4
- rfc2544:
- allowed_drop_rate: 0.0001 - 0.0001
- vnf__0:
- rules: acl_1rule.yaml
- vnf_config: {lb_config: 'HW', lb_count: 1, worker_config: '1C/1T', worker_threads: {{worker_thread}}}
- nfvi_enable: True
- runner:
- type: Iteration
- iterations: 10
- interval: 35
- {% endfor %}

-
-Scale-Out
---------------------
-
-VNFs performance data with scale-out
-
- * Helps in capacity planning to meet the given network node requirements
- * Helps in comparison between different VNF vendor offerings
- * Better the scale-out index, provides the flexibility in meeting future capacity requirements
-
-
-Standalone
-^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Scale-out not supported on Baremetal.
-
-1. Follow above traffic generator section to setup.
-2. Generate testcase for standalone virtualization using ansible scripts
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- cd <repo>/ansible
- trex: standalone_ovs_scale_out_trex_test.yaml or standalone_sriov_scale_out_trex_test.yaml
- ixia: standalone_ovs_scale_out_ixia_test.yaml or standalone_sriov_scale_out_ixia_test.yaml
- ixia_correlated: standalone_ovs_scale_out_ixia_correlated_test.yaml or standalone_sriov_scale_out_ixia_correlated_test.yaml
-
- update the ovs_dpdk or sriov above Ansible scripts reflect the setup
-
-3. run the test
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- <repo>/samples/vnf_samples/nsut/tc_sriov_vfw_udp_ixia_correlated_scale_out-1.yaml
- <repo>/samples/vnf_samples/nsut/tc_sriov_vfw_udp_ixia_correlated_scale_out-2.yaml
-
-Heat
-^^^^
-
-There are sample scale-out all-VM Heat tests. These tests only use VMs and don't use external traffic.
-
-The tests use UDP_Replay and correlated traffic.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- <repo>/samples/vnf_samples/nsut/cgnapt/tc_heat_rfc2544_ipv4_1flow_64B_trex_correlated_scale_4.yaml
-
-To run the test you need to increase OpenStack CPU, Memory and Port quotas.
-
-
-Traffic Generator tuning
-------------------------
-
-The TRex traffic generator can be setup to use multiple threads per core, this is for multiqueue testing.
-
-TRex does not automatically enable multiple threads because we currently cannot detect the number of queues on a device.
-
-To enable multiple queue set the queues_per_port value in the TG VNF options section.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
- scenarios:
- - type: NSPerf
- nodes:
- tg__0: tg_0.yardstick
-
- options:
- tg_0:
- queues_per_port: 2
