+Yardstick - NSB Testing -Installation
+=====================================
+
+Abstract
+--------
+
+The Network Service Benchmarking (NSB) extends the yardstick framework to do
+VNF characterization and benchmarking in three different execution
+environments viz., bare metal i.e. native Linux environment, standalone virtual
+environment and managed virtualized environment (e.g. Open stack etc.).
+It also brings in the capability to interact with external traffic generators
+both hardware & software based for triggering and validating the traffic
+according to user defined profiles.
+
+The steps needed to run Yardstick with NSB testing are:
+
+* Install Yardstick (NSB Testing).
+* Setup/Reference pod.yaml describing Test topology
+* Create/Reference the test configuration yaml file.
+* Run the test case.
+

+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. 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:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ <repo>/samples/vnf_samples/nsut/acl/tc_heat_rfc2544_ipv4_1rule_1flow_64B_trex_scale_up.yaml
+
+This testcase template requires specifying the number of VCPUs and Memory.
+We set the VCPUs and memory using the --task-args options
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ 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
+
+
+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

+ 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 %}
+ context:
+ type: Node
+ name: yardstick
+ nfvi_type: baremetal
+ file: /etc/yardstick/nodes/pod.yaml
+
+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

-Yardstick - NSB Testing -Installation
-=====================================
-
-Abstract
---------
-
-The Network Service Benchmarking (NSB) extends the yardstick framework to do
-VNF characterization and benchmarking in three different execution
-environments viz., bare metal i.e. native Linux environment, standalone virtual
-environment and managed virtualized environment (e.g. Open stack etc.).
-It also brings in the capability to interact with external traffic generators
-both hardware & software based for triggering and validating the traffic
-according to user defined profiles.
-
-The steps needed to run Yardstick with NSB testing are:
-
-* Install Yardstick (NSB Testing).
-* Setup pod.yaml describing Test topology
-* Create the test configuration yaml file.
-* Run the test case.

-Enable yardstick virtual environment
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Before executing yardstick test cases, make sure to activate yardstick
-python virtual environment if runnin on ubuntu without docker::
-
- source /opt/nsb_bin/yardstick_venv/bin/activate
-
-On docker, virtual env is in main path.
-
-Run Yardstick - Network Service Testcases
------------------------------------------
-
-NS testing - using NSBperf CLI
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-::
-
- PYTHONPATH: ". ~/.bash_profile"
- cd <yardstick_repo>/yardstick/cmd
-
- Execute command: ./NSPerf.py -h
- ./NSBperf.py --vnf <selected vnf> --test <rfc test>
- eg: ./NSBperf.py --vnf vpe --test tc_baremetal_rfc2544_ipv4_1flow_64B.yaml
-
-NS testing - using yardstick CLI
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-::
- PYTHONPATH: ". ~/.bash_profile"
-
-Go to test case forlder type we want to execute.
- e.g. <yardstick repo>/samples/vnf_samples/nsut/<vnf>/
- run: yardstick --debug task start <test_case.yaml>
-
-Network Service Benchmarking - Standalone Virtualization
---------------------------------------------------------
-
-SRIOV:
------
-
-Pre-requisites
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-On Host:
- a) Create a bridge for VM to connect to external network
- brctl addbr br-int
- brctl addif br-int <interface_name> #This interface is connected to internet
-
- b) Build guest image for VNF to run.
- Most of the sample test cases in Yardstick are using a guest image called
- ``yardstick-image`` which deviates from an Ubuntu Cloud Server image
- Yardstick has a tool for building this custom image with samplevnf.
- It is necessary to have ``sudo`` rights to use this tool.
-
- Also you may need to install several additional packages to use this tool, by
- follwing the commands below::
-
- sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y qemu-utils kpartx
-
- This image can be built using the following command in the directory where Yardstick is installed::
-
- export YARD_IMG_ARCH='amd64'
- sudo echo "Defaults env_keep += \'YARD_IMG_ARCH\'" >> /etc/sudoers
- sudo tools/yardstick-img-dpdk-modify tools/ubuntu-server-cloudimg-samplevnf-modify.sh
-
- for more details refer chapter :doc:`04-installation``
-
-Note: VM should be build with static IP and should be accessiable from yardstick host.
