The application forwards received | +| | traffic based on rules provided by the user in the TC | +| | configuration and default rules created by vFW to send | +| | traffic from uplink ports to downlink and voice versa. | +| | | ++---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ +| configuration | The 2 ports RFC3511 test cases are listed below: | +| | | +| | * tc_baremetal_http_ixload_1024k_Requests-65000 | +| | _Concurrency.yaml | +| | * tc_baremetal_http_ixload_1b_Requests-65000 | +| | _Concurrency.yaml | +| | * tc_baremetal_http_ixload_256k_Requests-65000 | +| | _Concurrency.yaml | +| | * tc_baremetal_http_ixload_4k_Requests-65000 | +| | _Concurrency.yaml | +| | * tc_baremetal_http_ixload_512k_Requests-65000 | +| | _Concurrency.yaml | +| | * tc_baremetal_http_ixload_64k_Requests-65000 | +| | _Concurrency.yaml | +| | * tc_heat_external_http_ixload_1b_Requests-10Gbps | +| | _Throughput.yaml | +| | * tc_heat_external_http_ixload_1b_Requests-65000 | +| | _Concurrency.yaml | +| | * tc_heat_external_http_ixload_1b_Requests-65000 | +| | _Connections.yaml | +| | | +| | The 4 ports RFC3511 test cases are listed below: | +| | | +| | * tc_baremetal_http_ixload_1b_Requests-65000 | +| | _Concurrency_4port.yaml | +| | | ++---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ +| test tool | The vFW is a DPDK application that performs basic filtering | +| | for malformed packets and dynamic packet filtering of | +| | incoming packets using the connection tracker library. | +| | | ++---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ +| applicability | The vFW RFC3511 test cases can be configured with different: | +| | | +| | * http payload sizes; | +| | * traffic flows; | +| | * rules; | +| | | +| | Default values exist. | +| | | ++---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ +| pre-test | For OpenStack test case image (yardstick-samplevnf) needs | +| conditions | to be installed into Glance with vFW and DPDK included in | +| | it (NSB install). | +| | | +| | For Baremetal tests cases vFW and DPDK must be installed on | +| | 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 vFW VNF is started on the hosts | +| | based on the pod file. | +| | | +| | For Heat external test: The vFW VM are deployed and booted. | +| | | ++---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ +| step 2 | Yardstick is connected with the TG (IxLoad) via IxLoad API | +| | and VNF by using ssh. The test will resolve the topology and | +| | instantiate all VNFs and TG and collect the KPI's/metrics. | +| | | ++---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ +| step 3 | The TG simulates HTTP traffic based on selected type of TC. | +| | | +| | Concurrency: | +| | The TC attempts to simulate some number of human users. | +| | The simulated users are gradually brought online until 64K | +| | users is met (the Ramp-Up phase), then taken offline (the | +| | Ramp Down phase). | +| | | +| | Connections: | +| | The TC creates some number of HTTP connections per second. | +| | It will attempt to generate the 64K of HTTP connections | +| | per second. | +| | | +| | Throughput: | +| | TC simultaneously transmits and receives TCP payload | +| | (bytes) at a certain rate measured in Megabits per second | +| | (Mbps), Kilobits per second (Kbps), or Gigabits per | +| | second. The 10 Gbits is default throughput. | +| | | +| | At the end of the TC, the KPIs are collected and stored | +| | (depends on the selected dispatcher). | +| | | ++---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ +| step 4 | In Baremetal test: The test quits the application and | +| | unbinds the DPDK ports. | +| | | +| | In Heat test: All VNF VMs are deleted and connections to TG | +| | are terminated. | +| | | ++---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ +| test verdict | The test case will try to achieve the configured HTTP | +| | Concurrency/Throughput/Connections. | ++---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ + |
