It -is possible to chose which specific scenarios to look at, and then to zoom in -on the details of each run test scenario as well. - -All of the test case results below are based on 4 scenario test runs, each run -on the LF POD1_ between September 14 and 17 in 2016. - -TC002 ------ -The round-trip-time (RTT) between 2 VMs on different blades is measured using -ping. Most test run measurements result on average between 0.49 ms and 0.60 ms. -Only one test run has reached greatest RTT spike of 0.93 ms. Meanwhile, the -smallest network latency is 0.33 ms, which is obtained on Sep. 14th. -SLA set to be 10 ms. The SLA value is used as a reference, it has not been -defined by OPNFV. - -TC005 ------ -The IO read bandwidth actually refers to the storage throughput, which is -measured by fio and the greatest IO read bandwidth of the four runs is 416 -MB/s. The IO read bandwidth of all four runs looks similar, with an average -between 128 and 131 MB/s. One of the runs has a minimum BW of 497 KB/s. The SLA -of read bandwidth sets to be 400 MB/s, which is used as a reference, and it has -not been defined by OPNFV. - -The results of storage IOPS for the four runs look similar with each other. The -IO read times per second of the four test runs have an average value at 1k per -second, and meanwhile, the minimum result is only 45 times per second. - -TC010 ------ -The tool we use to measure memory read latency is lmbench, which is a series of -micro benchmarks intended to measure basic operating system and hardware system -metrics. The memory read latency of the four runs is between 1.0859 ns and -1.0869 ns on average. The variations within each test run are quite different, -some vary from a large range and others have a small change. For example, the -largest change is on September 14th, the memory read latency of which is ranging -from 1.091 ns to 1.086 ns. However. -The SLA sets to be 30 ns. The SLA value is used as a reference, it has not been -defined by OPNFV. - -TC011 ------ -Packet delay variation between 2 VMs on different blades is measured using -Iperf3. On the first two test runs the reported packet delay variation varies between -0.0037 and 0.0740 ms, with an average delay variation between 0.0096 ms and 0.0321. -On the second date the delay variation varies between 0.0063 and 0.0096 ms, with -an average delay variation of 0.0124 - 0.0141 ms. - -TC012 ------ -Lmbench is also used to measure the memory read and write bandwidth, in which -we use bw_mem to obtain the results. Among the four test runs, the trend of -three memory bandwidth almost look similar, which all have a narrow range, and -the average result is 19.88 GB/s. Here SLA set to be 15 GB/s. The SLA value is -used as a reference, it has not been defined by OPNFV. - -TC014 ------ -The Unixbench is used to evaluate the IaaS processing speed with regards to -score of single cpu running and parallel running. It can be seen from the -dashboard that the processing test results vary from scores 3754k to 3831k, and -there is only one result one date. No SLA set. - -TC037 ------ -The amount of packets per second (PPS) and round trip times (RTT) between 2 VMs -on different blades are measured when increasing the amount of UDP flows sent -between the VMs using pktgen as packet generator tool. - -Round trip times and packet throughput between VMs can typically be affected by -the amount of flows set up and result in higher RTT and less PPS throughput. - -The mean packet throughput of the four test runs is between 307.3 kpps and -447.1 kpps, of which the result of the third run is the highest. The RTT -results of all the test runs keep flat at approx. 15 ms. It is obvious that the -PPS results are not as consistent as the RTT results. - -The No. flows of the four test runs are 240 k on average and the PPS results -look a little waved since the largest packet throughput is 418.1 kpps and the -minimum throughput is 326.5 kpps respectively. - -There are no errors of packets received in the four runs, but there are still -lost packets in all the test runs. The RTT values obtained by ping of the four -runs have the similar average vaue, that is approx. 15 ms. - -CPU load is measured by mpstat, and CPU load of the four test runs seem a -little similar, since the minimum value and the peak of CPU load is between 0 -percent and nine percent respectively. And the best result is obtained on Sep. -1, with an CPU load of nine percent. But on the whole, the CPU load is very -poor, since the average value is quite small. - -TC069 ------ -With the block size changing from 1 kb to 512 kb, the memory write bandwidth -tends to become larger first and then smaller within every run test, which -rangs from 28.2 GB/s to 29.5 GB/s and then to 29.2 GB/s on average. Since the -test id is one, it is that only the INT memory write bandwidth is tested. On -the whole, when the block size is 2 kb or 16 kb, the memory write bandwidth -look similar with a minimal BW of 25.8 GB/s and peak value of 28.3 GB/s. And -then with the block size becoming larger, the memory write bandwidth tends to -decrease. SLA sets to be 7 GB/s. The SLA value is used as a reference, it has -not been defined by OPNFV. - -TC070 ------ -The amount of packets per second (PPS) and round trip times (RTT) between 2 VMs -on different blades are measured when increasing the amount of UDP flows sent -between the VMs using pktgen as packet generator tool. - -Round trip times and packet throughput between VMs can typically be affected by -the amount of flows set up and result in higher RTT and less PPS throughput. - -The network latency is measured by ping, and the results of the four test runs -look similar with each other, and within these test runs, the maximum RTT can -reach 39 ms and the average RTT is usually approx. 15 ms. The network latency -tested on Sep. 1 and Sep. 8 have a peak latency of 39 ms. But on the whole, -the average RTTs of the five runs keep flat and the network latency is -relatively short. - -Memory utilization is measured by free, which can display amount of free and -used memory in the system. The largest amount of used memory is 267 MiB for the -four runs. In general, the four test runs have very large memory utilization, -which can reach 257 MiB on average. On the other hand, for the mean free memory, -the four test runs have the similar trend with that of the mean used memory. -In general, the mean free memory change from 233 MiB to 241 MiB. - -Packet throughput and packet loss can be measured by pktgen, which is a tool -in the network for generating traffic loads for network experiments. The mean -packet throughput of the four test runs seem quite different, ranging from -305.3 kpps to 447.1 kpps. The average number of flows in these tests is -240000, and each run has a minimum number of flows of 2 and a maximum number -of flows of 1.001 Mil. At the same time, the corresponding average packet -throughput is between 354.4 kpps and 381.8 kpps. In summary, the PPS results -seem consistent. Within each test run of the four runs, when number of flows -becomes larger, the packet throughput seems not larger at the same time. - -TC071 ------ -The amount of packets per second (PPS) and round trip times (RTT) between 2 VMs -on different blades are measured when increasing the amount of UDP flows sent -between the VMs using pktgen as packet generator tool. - -Round trip times and packet throughput between VMs can typically be affected by -the amount of flows set up and result in higher RTT and less PPS throughput. - -The network latency is measured by ping, and the results of the four test runs -look similar with each other. Within each test run, the maximum RTT is only 42 -ms and the average RTT is usually approx. 15 ms. On the whole, the average -RTTs of the four runs keep stable and the network latency is relatively small. - -Cache utilization is measured by cachestat, which can display size of cache and -buffer in the system. Cache utilization statistics are collected during UDP -flows sent between the VMs using pktgen as packet generator tool. The largest -cache size is 212 MiB, which is same for the four runs, and the smallest cache -size is 75 MiB. On the whole, the average cache size of the four runs look the -same and is between 197 MiB and 211 MiB. Meanwhile, the tread of the buffer -size keep flat, since they have a minimum value of 7 MiB and a maximum value of -8 MiB, with an average value of about 7.9 MiB. - -Packet throughput can be measured by pktgen, which is a tool in the network for -generating traffic loads for network experiments. The mean packet throughput of -the four test runs differ from 354.4 kpps to 381.8 kpps. The average number of -flows in these tests is 240k, and each run has a minimum number of flows of 2 -and a maximum number of flows of 1.001 Mil. At the same time, the corresponding -packet throughput differ between 305.3 kpps to 447.1 kpps. Within each test run -of the four runs, when number of flows becomes larger, the packet throughput -seems not larger in the meantime. - -TC072 ------ -The amount of packets per second (PPS) and round trip times (RTT) between 2 VMs -on different blades are measured when increasing the amount of UDP flows sent -between the VMs using pktgen as packet generator tool. - -Round trip times and packet throughput between VMs can typically be affected by -the amount of flows set up and result in higher RTT and less PPS throughput. - -The RTT results are similar throughout the different test dates and runs -between 0 ms and 42 ms with an average leatency of less than 15 ms. The PPS -results are not as consistent as the RTT results, for the mean packet -throughput of the four runs differ from 354.4 kpps to 381.8 kpps. - -Network utilization is measured by sar, that is system activity reporter, which -can display the average statistics for the time since the system was started. -Network utilization statistics are collected during UDP flows sent between the -VMs using pktgen as packet generator tool. The largest total number of packets -transmitted per second look similar for three test runs, whose values change a -lot from 10 pps to 501 kpps. While results of the rest test run seem the same -and keep stable with the average number of packets transmitted per second of 10 -pps. However, the total number of packets received per second of the four runs -look similar, which have a large wide range of 2 pps to 815 kpps. - -In some test runs when running with less than approx. 251000 flows the PPS -throughput is normally flatter compared to when running with more flows, after -which the PPS throughput decreases. For the other test runs there is however no -significant change to the PPS throughput when the number of flows are -increased. In some test runs the PPS is also greater with 251000 flows -compared to other test runs where the PPS result is less with only 2 flows. - -There are lost packets reported in most of the test runs. There is no observed -correlation between the amount of flows and the amount of lost packets. -The lost amount of packets normally differs a lot per test run. - -Detailed test results ---------------------- -The scenario was run on LF POD1_ with: -Apex -OpenStack Mitaka -OpenVirtualSwitch 2.5.90 -OpenDayLight Beryllium - -Rationale for decisions ------------------------ -Pass - -Conclusions and recommendations -------------------------------- -Tests were successfully executed and metrics collected. -No SLA was verified.

No SLA set. - -TC037 ------ -The amount of packets per second (PPS) and round trip times (RTT) between 2 VMs -on different blades are measured when increasing the amount of UDP flows sent -between the VMs using pktgen as packet generator tool. - -Round trip times and packet throughput between VMs can typically be affected by -the amount of flows set up and result in higher RTT and less PPS throughput. - -The mean packet throughput of the four test runs is between 307.3 kpps and -447.1 kpps, of which the result of the third run is the highest. The RTT -results of all the test runs keep flat at approx. 15 ms. It is obvious that the -PPS results are not as consistent as the RTT results. - -The No. flows of the four test runs are 240 k on average and the PPS results -look a little waved since the largest packet throughput is 418.1 kpps and the -minimum throughput is 326.5 kpps respectively. - -There are no errors of packets received in the four runs, but there are still -lost packets in all the test runs. The RTT values obtained by ping of the four -runs have the similar average vaue, that is approx. 15 ms. - -CPU load is measured by mpstat, and CPU load of the four test runs seem a -little similar, since the minimum value and the peak of CPU load is between 0 -percent and nine percent respectively. And the best result is obtained on Sep. -1, with an CPU load of nine percent. But on the whole, the CPU load is very -poor, since the average value is quite small. - -TC069 ------ -With the block size changing from 1 kb to 512 kb, the memory write bandwidth -tends to become larger first and then smaller within every run test, which -rangs from 21.9 GB/s to 25.9 GB/s and then to 17.8 GB/s on average. Since the -test id is one, it is that only the INT memory write bandwidth is tested. On -the whole, when the block size is 2 kb or 16 kb, the memory write bandwidth -look similar with a minimal BW of 24.8 GB/s and peak value of 27.8 GB/s. And -then with the block size becoming larger, the memory write bandwidth tends to -decrease. SLA sets to be 7 GB/s. The SLA value is used as a reference, it has -not been defined by OPNFV. - -TC070 ------ -The amount of packets per second (PPS) and round trip times (RTT) between 2 VMs -on different blades are measured when increasing the amount of UDP flows sent -between the VMs using pktgen as packet generator tool. - -Round trip times and packet throughput between VMs can typically be affected by -the amount of flows set up and result in higher RTT and less PPS throughput. - -The network latency is measured by ping, and the results of the four test runs -look similar with each other, and within these test runs, the maximum RTT can -reach 39 ms and the average RTT is usually approx. 15 ms. The network latency -tested on Sep. 1 and Sep. 8 have a peak latency of 39 ms. But on the whole, -the average RTTs of the five runs keep flat and the network latency is -relatively short. - -Memory utilization is measured by free, which can display amount of free and -used memory in the system. The largest amount of used memory is 267 MiB for the -four runs. In general, the four test runs have very large memory utilization, -which can reach 257 MiB on average. On the other hand, for the mean free memory, -the four test runs have the similar trend with that of the mean used memory. -In general, the mean free memory change from 233 MiB to 241 MiB. - -Packet throughput and packet loss can be measured by pktgen, which is a tool -in the network for generating traffic loads for network experiments. The mean -packet throughput of the four test runs seem quite different, ranging from -305.3 kpps to 447.1 kpps. The average number of flows in these tests is -240000, and each run has a minimum number of flows of 2 and a maximum number -of flows of 1.001 Mil. At the same time, the corresponding average packet -throughput is between 354.4 kpps and 381.8 kpps. In summary, the PPS results -seem consistent. Within each test run of the four runs, when number of flows -becomes larger, the packet throughput seems not larger at the same time. - -TC071 ------ -The amount of packets per second (PPS) and round trip times (RTT) between 2 VMs -on different blades are measured when increasing the amount of UDP flows sent -between the VMs using pktgen as packet generator tool. - -Round trip times and packet throughput between VMs can typically be affected by -the amount of flows set up and result in higher RTT and less PPS throughput. - -The network latency is measured by ping, and the results of the four test runs -look similar with each other. Within each test run, the maximum RTT is only 42 -ms and the average RTT is usually approx. 15 ms. On the whole, the average -RTTs of the four runs keep stable and the network latency is relatively small. - -Cache utilization is measured by cachestat, which can display size of cache and -buffer in the system. Cache utilization statistics are collected during UDP -flows sent between the VMs using pktgen as packet generator tool. The largest -cache size is 212 MiB, which is same for the four runs, and the smallest cache -size is 75 MiB. On the whole, the average cache size of the four runs look the -same and is between 197 MiB and 211 MiB. Meanwhile, the tread of the buffer -size keep flat, since they have a minimum value of 7 MiB and a maximum value of -8 MiB, with an average value of about 7.9 MiB. - -Packet throughput can be measured by pktgen, which is a tool in the network for -generating traffic loads for network experiments. The mean packet throughput of -the four test runs differ from 354.4 kpps to 381.8 kpps. The average number of -flows in these tests is 240k, and each run has a minimum number of flows of 2 -and a maximum number of flows of 1.001 Mil. At the same time, the corresponding -packet throughput differ between 305.3 kpps to 447.1 kpps. Within each test run -of the four runs, when number of flows becomes larger, the packet throughput -seems not larger in the meantime. - -TC072 ------ -The amount of packets per second (PPS) and round trip times (RTT) between 2 VMs -on different blades are measured when increasing the amount of UDP flows sent -between the VMs using pktgen as packet generator tool. - -Round trip times and packet throughput between VMs can typically be affected by -the amount of flows set up and result in higher RTT and less PPS throughput. - -The RTT results are similar throughout the different test dates and runs -between 0 ms and 42 ms with an average leatency of less than 15 ms. The PPS -results are not as consistent as the RTT results, for the mean packet -throughput of the four runs differ from 354.4 kpps to 381.8 kpps. - -Network utilization is measured by sar, that is system activity reporter, which -can display the average statistics for the time since the system was started. -Network utilization statistics are collected during UDP flows sent between the -VMs using pktgen as packet generator tool. The largest total number of packets -transmitted per second look similar for three test runs, whose values change a -lot from 10 pps to 501 kpps. While results of the rest test run seem the same -and keep stable with the average number of packets transmitted per second of 10 -pps. However, the total number of packets received per second of the four runs -look similar, which have a large wide range of 2 pps to 815 kpps. - -In some test runs when running with less than approx. 251000 flows the PPS -throughput is normally flatter compared to when running with more flows, after -which the PPS throughput decreases. For the other test runs there is however no -significant change to the PPS throughput when the number of flows are -increased. In some test runs the PPS is also greater with 251000 flows -compared to other test runs where the PPS result is less with only 2 flows. - -There are lost packets reported in most of the test runs. There is no observed -correlation between the amount of flows and the amount of lost packets. -The lost amount of packets normally differs a lot per test run. - -Detailed test results ---------------------- -The scenario was run on Intel POD6_ with: -Joid -OpenStack Mitaka -OpenVirtualSwitch 2.5.90 -OpenDayLight Beryllium - -Rationale for decisions ------------------------ -Pass - -Conclusions and recommendations -------------------------------- -Tests were successfully executed and metrics collected. -No SLA was verified.
