+Yardstick Test Case Description: NSB vFW RFC3511 (HTTP)
+*******************************************************
+
++------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| NSB vFW test for VNF characterization based on RFC3511 and IXIA |
+| |
++---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+| test case id | tc_{context}_http_ixload_{http_size}_Requests-65000_{type} |
+| | |
+| | * context = baremetal, heat_external |
+| | * http_size = 1b, 4k, 64k, 256k, 512k, 1024k payload size |
+| | * type = Concurrency, Connections, Throughput |
+| | |
++---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+| metric | * HTTP Total Throughput (Kbps); |
+| | * HTTP Simulated Users; |
+| | * HTTP Concurrent Connections; |
+| | * HTTP Connection Rate; |
+| | * HTTP Transaction Rate |
+| | |
++---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+| test purpose | The vFW RFC3511 tests measure performance characteristics of |
+| | the SUT by sending the HTTP traffic from uplink to downlink |
+| | TG ports through vFW VNF. 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. |
