+Yardstick Test Case Description: NSB PROX ACL
+*********************************************
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+|NSB PROX test for NFVI characterization |
+| |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test case id | tc_prox_{context}_acl-{port_num} |
+| | |
+| | * context = baremetal or heat_context; |
+| | * port_num = 2 or 4; |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|metric | * Network Throughput; |
+| | * TG Packets Out; |
+| | * TG Packets In; |
+| | * VNF Packets Out; |
+| | * VNF Packets In; |
+| | * Dropped packets; |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test purpose | This test allows to measure how well the SUT can exploit |
+| | structures in the list of ACL rules. |
+| | The ACL rules are matched against a 7-tuple of the input |
+| | packet: the regular 5-tuple and two VLAN tags. |
+| | The rules in the rule set allow the packet to be forwarded |
+| | and the rule set contains a default "match all" rule. |
+| | |
+| | The KPI is measured with the rule set that has a moderate |
+| | number of rules with moderate similarity between the rules & |
+| | the fraction of rules that were used. |
+| | |
+| | The ACL test cases are implemented to run in baremetal |
+| | and heat context for 2 port and 4 port configuration. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|configuration | The ACL test cases are listed below: |
+| | |
+| | * tc_prox_baremetal_acl-2.yaml |
+| | * tc_prox_baremetal_acl-4.yaml |
+| | * tc_prox_heat_context_acl-2.yaml |
+| | * tc_prox_heat_context_acl-4.yaml |
+| | |
+| | Test duration is set as 300sec for each test. |
+| | Packet size set as 64 bytes in traffic profile. |
+| | These can be configured |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test tool | PROX |
+| | PROX is a DPDK application that can simulate VNF workloads |
+| | and can generate traffic and used for NFVI characterization |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|applicability | This PROX ACL test cases can be configured with different: |
+| | |
+| | * packet sizes; |
+| | * test durations; |
+| | * tolerated loss; |
+| | |
+| | Default values exist. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|pre-test | For Openstack test case image (yardstick-samplevnfs) needs |
+|conditions | to be installed into Glance with Prox and Dpdk included in |
+| | it. The test need multi-queue enabled in Glance image. |
+| | |
+| | For Baremetal tests cases Prox and Dpdk must be installed in |
+| | the hosts where the test is executed. The pod.yaml file must |
+| | have the necessary system and NIC information |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test sequence | description and expected result |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 1 | For Baremetal test: The TG and VNF are started on the hosts |
+| | based on the pod file. |
+| | |
+| | For Heat test: Two host VMs are booted, as Traffic generator |
+| | and VNF(ACL workload) based on the test flavor. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 2 | Yardstick is connected with the TG and VNF by using ssh. |
+| | The test will resolve the topology and instantiate the VNF |
+| | and TG and collect the KPI's/metrics. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 3 | The TG will send packets to the VNF. If the number of |
+| | dropped packets is more than the tolerated loss the line |
+| | rate or throughput is halved. This is done until the dropped |
+| | packets are within an acceptable tolerated loss. |
+| | |
+| | The KPI is the number of packets per second for 64 bytes |
+| | packet size with an accepted minimal packet loss for the |
+| | default configuration. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 4 | In Baremetal test: The test quits the application and unbind |
+| | the dpdk ports. |
+| | |
+| | In Heat test: Two host VMs are deleted on test completion. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test verdict | The test case will achieve a Throughput with an accepted |
+| | minimal tolerated packet loss. |
