NSB: fix port topology
Add a new PortPair class to resolve the topology into list of public and private ports. Before we were calculating public/private in multiple locations and using different conventions. In addition for all the DPDK test we need to use the DPDK port number and no rely on interface ordering or interface naming conventions. We used to use xe0 -> 0, xe1 -> 1, etc. This is not the DPDK port number. Use the new dpdknicbind_helper class to parse the output of dpdk-devbind.py to find the actual DPDK port number at runtime. We then use this DPDK port number to correctly calculate the port_mask_hex. The port mask maps the DPDK port num (PMD ID) to the LINK ID used in the pipeline config We also need to make sure we only use the interfaces matched to the topology and not use all the interfaces, because in some cases we will have unused interfaces. In particular TRex always requires an even number of interfaces, so for single port TRex tests we have to create the second port and not use it. Thus we had to modify the traffic generator stats code to only dump stats for used ports and no unused ports. Ixia was using interface ordering to map to Ixia ports, instead we use the dpdk_port_num which must be hardcoded for Ixia. Renamed traffic_profile.execute to traffic_profile.execute_traffic so we can trace the code easier. We pass the port used by the traffic profile to generate_samples so we don't get stats for unused ports. Fixed up vPE config creation and bring up issues. Fixed up CGNAPT and UDP_Replay to work correctly. Tested with 4-port scale-out Change-Id: I2e4f328bff2904108081e92a4bf712333fa73869 Signed-off-by: Ross Brattain <ross.b.brattain@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Edward MacGillivray <edward.s.macgillivray@intel.com>
