+|test purpose  | This test validates that network data plane services are     |
+|              | resilient in the event of Virtual Switch failure             |
+|              | in compute nodes. Specifically, the test verifies that       |
+|              | existing data plane connectivity is not permanently impacted |
+|              | i.e. all configured network services such as DHCP, ARP, L2,  |
+|              | L3 Security Groups continue to operate between the existing  |
+|              | VMs eventually after the Virtual Switches have finished      |
+|              | rebooting.                                                   |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              | The test also validates that new network service operations  |
+|              | (creating a new VM in the existing L2/L3 network or in a new |
+|              | network, etc.) are operational after the Virtual Switches    |
+|              | have recovered from a failure.                               |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test method   | This testcase first checks if the already configured         |
+|              | DHCP/ARP/L2/L3/SNAT connectivity is proper. After            |
+|              | it fails and restarts again the VSwitch services which are   |
+|              | running on both OpenStack compute nodes, and then checks if  |
+|              | already configured DHCP/ARP/L2/L3/SNAT connectivity is not   |
+|              | permanently impacted (even if there are some packet          |
+|              | loss events) between VMs and the system is able to execute   |
+|              | new virtual network operations once the Vswitch services     |
+|              | are restarted and have been fully recovered                  |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|attackers     | In this test case, two attackers called “kill-process” are   |
+|              | needed. These attackers include three parameters:            |
+|              |  1. fault_type: which is used for finding the attacker's     |
+|              |     scripts. It should be set to 'kill-process' in this test |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              |  2. process_name: should be set to the name of the Vswitch   |
+|              |     process                                                  |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              |  3. host: which is the name of the compute node where the    |
+|              |     Vswitch process is running                               |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              | e.g. -fault_type: "kill-process"                             |
+|              |      -process_name: "openvswitch"                            |
+|              |      -host: node1                                            |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|monitors      | This test case utilizes two monitors of type "ip-status"     |
+|              | and one monitor of type "process" to track the following     |
+|              | conditions:                                                  |
+|              |  1. "ping_same_network_l2": monitor ICMP traffic between     |
+|              |     VMs in the same Neutron network                          |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              |  2. "ping_external_snat": monitor ICMP traffic from VMs to   |
+|              |     an external host on the Internet to verify SNAT          |
+|              |     functionality.                                           |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              |  3. "Vswitch process monitor": a monitor checking the        |
+|              |     state of the specified Vswitch process. It measures      |
+|              |     the recovery time of the given process.                  |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              | Monitors of type "ip-status" use the "ping" utility to       |
+|              | verify reachability of a given target IP.                    |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|operations    | In this test case, the following operations are needed:      |
+|              |  1. "nova-create-instance-in_network": create a VM instance  |
+|              |     in one of the existing Neutron network.                  |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|metrics       | In this test case, there are two metrics:                    |
+|              |  1. process_recover_time: which indicates the maximun        |
+|              |     time (seconds) from the process being killed to          |
+|              |     recovered                                                |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              |  2. outage_time: measures the total time in which            |
+|              |     monitors were failing in their tasks (e.g. total time of |
+|              |     Ping failure)                                            |
+|              |                                                              |

+|              |     on pod.yaml first. the “host” item in this test case     |
+|              |     will use the node name in the pod.yaml.                  |
+|              |                                                              |

+|pre-action    |  1. The Vswitches are set up in both compute nodes.          |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              |  2. One or more Neutron networks are created with two or     |
+|              |     more VMs attached to each of the Neutron networks.       |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              |  3. The Neutron networks are attached to a Neutron router    |
+|              |     which is attached to an external network towards the     |
+|              |     DCGW.                                                    |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 1        | Start IP connectivity monitors:                              |
+|              |  1. Check the L2 connectivity between the VMs in the same    |
+|              |     Neutron network.                                         |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              |  2. Check connectivity from one VM to an external host on    |
+|              |     the Internet to verify SNAT functionality.               |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              | Result: The monitor info will be collected.                  |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 2        | Start attackers:                                             |
+|              | SSH connect to the VIM compute nodes and kill the Vswitch    |
+|              | processes                                                    |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              | Result: the SDN Vswitch services will be shutdown            |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 3        | Verify the results of the IP connectivity monitors.          |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              | Result: The outage_time metric reported by the monitors      |
+|              | is not greater than the max_outage_time.                     |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 4        | Restart the SDN Vswitch services.                            |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+

+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 6        | Verify connectivity between VMs as follows:                  |
+|              |  1. Check the L2 connectivity between the previously         |
+|              |     existing VM and the newly created VM on the same         |
+|              |     Neutron network by sending ICMP messages                 |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 7        | Stop IP connectivity monitors after a period of time         |
+|              | specified by “monitor_time”                                  |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              | Result: The monitor info will be aggregated                  |

++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 8        | Verify the IP connectivity monitor results                   |
+|              |                                                              |
