The installation and configuration of the Yardstick is described in the `user guide`_.
+How to work with test cases?
+----------------------------
+
+
+**Sample Test cases**
+
+Yardstick provides many sample test cases which are located at "samples" directory of repo.
+
+Sample test cases are designed as following goals:
+
+1. Helping user better understand yardstick features(including new feature and new test capacity).
+
+2. Helping developer to debug his new feature and test case before it is offical released.
+
+3. Helping other developers understand and verify the new patch before the patch merged.
+
+So developers should upload your sample test case as well when they are trying to upload a new patch which is about the yardstick new test case or new feature.
+
+
+**OPNFV Release Test cases**
+
+OPNFV Release test cases which are located at "tests/opnfv/test_cases" of repo.
+those test cases are runing by OPNFV CI jobs, It means those test cases should be more mature than sample test cases.
+OPNFV scenario owners can select related test cases and add them into the test suites which is represent the scenario.
+
+
+**Test case Description File**
+
+This section will introduce the meaning of the Test case description file.
+we will use ping.yaml as a example to show you how to understand the test case description file.
+In this Yaml file, you can easily find it consists of two sections. One is “Scenarios”, the other is “Context”.::
+
+ ---
+ # Sample benchmark task config file
+ # measure network latency using ping
+
+ schema: "yardstick:task:0.1"

+ {% set physical_network = physical_network or 'physnet1' %}

+
+ networks:

+ cidr: '10.0.1.0/24'
+ {% if provider == "vlan" %}
+ provider: {{provider}}
+ physical_network: {{physical_network}}
+ {% if segmentation_id %}
+ segmentation_id: {{segmentation_id}}
+ {% endif %}
+ {% endif %}
+
+
+"Contexts" section is the description of pre-condition of testing. As ping.yaml shown, you can configure the image, flavor , name ,affinity and network of Test VM(servers), with this section, you will get a pre-condition env for Testing.
+Yardstick will automatic setup the stack which are described in this section.
+In fact, yardstick use convert this section to heat template and setup the VMs by heat-client (Meanwhile, yardstick can support to convert this section to Kubernetes template to setup containers).
+
+Two Test VMs(athena and ares) are configured by keyword "servers".
+"flavor" will determine how many vCPU, how much memory for test VMs.
+As "yardstick-flavor" is a basic flavor which will be automatically created when you run command "yardstick env prepare". "yardstick-flavor" is "1 vCPU 1G RAM,3G Disk".
+"image" is the image name of test VMs. if you use cirros.3.5.0, you need fill the username of this image into "user". the "policy" of placement of Test VMs have two values (affinity and availability).
+"availability" means anti-affinity. In "network" section, you can configure which provide network and physical_network you want Test VMs use.
+you may need to configure segmentation_id when your network is vlan.
+
+Moreover, you can configure your specific flavor as below, yardstick will setup the stack for you. ::
+
+ flavor:
+ name: yardstick-new-flavor
+ vcpus: 12
+ ram: 1024
+ disk: 2
+
+
+Besides default heat stack, yardstick also allow you to setup other two types stack. they are "Node" and "Kubernetes". ::
+
+ context:
+ type: Kubernetes
+ name: k8s
+
+and ::
+
+ context:
+ type: Node
+ name: LF
+
+
+
+"Scenarios" section is the description of testing step, you can orchestrate the complex testing step through orchestrate scenarios.
+
+Each scenario will do one testing step, In one scenario, you can configure the type of scenario(operation), runner type and SLA of the scenario.
+
+For TC002, We only have one step , that is Ping from host VM to target VM. In this step, we also have some detail operation implement ( such as ssh to VM, ping from VM1 to VM2. Get the latency, verify the SLA, report the result).
+
+If you want to get this detail implement , you can check with the scenario.py file. For Ping scenario, you can find it in yardstick repo ( yardstick / yardstick / benchmark / scenarios / networking / ping.py)
+
+after you select the type of scenario( such as Ping), you will select one type of runner, there are 4 types of runner. Usually, we use the "Iteration" and "Duration". and Default is "Iteration".
+For Iteration, you can specify the iteration number and interval of iteration. ::
+
+ runner:
+ type: Iteration
+ iterations: 10
+ interval: 1
+
+That means yardstick will iterate the 10 times of Ping test and the interval of each iteration is one second.
+
+For Duration, you can specify the duration of this scenario and the interval of each ping test. ::
+
+ runner:
+ type: Duration
+ duration: 60
+ interval: 10
+
+That means yardstick will run the ping test as loop until the total time of this scenario reach the 60s and the interval of each loop is ten seconds.
+
+
+SLA is the criterion of this scenario. that depends on the scenario. different scenario can have different SLA metric.
+
+
+**How to write a new test case**
+
+Yardstick already provide a library of testing step. that means yardstick provide lots of type scenario.
+
+Basiclly, What you need to do is to orchestrate the scenario from the library.
+
+Here, We will show two cases. One is how to write a simple test case, the other is how to write a quite complex test case.
+
+
+Write a new simple test case
+
+First, you can image a basic test case description as below.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+|Storage Performance |
+| |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|metric | IOPS (Average IOs performed per second), |
+| | Throughput (Average disk read/write bandwidth rate), |
+| | Latency (Average disk read/write latency) |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test purpose | The purpose of TC005 is to evaluate the IaaS storage |
+| | performance with regards to IOPS, throughput and latency. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test | fio test is invoked in a host VM on a compute blade, a job |
+|description | file as well as parameters are passed to fio and fio will |
+| | start doing what the job file tells it to do. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|configuration | file: opnfv_yardstick_tc005.yaml |
+| | |
+| | IO types is set to read, write, randwrite, randread, rw. |
+| | IO block size is set to 4KB, 64KB, 1024KB. |
+| | fio is run for each IO type and IO block size scheme, |
+| | each iteration runs for 30 seconds (10 for ramp time, 20 for |
+| | runtime). |
+| | |
+| | For SLA, minimum read/write iops is set to 100, |
+| | minimum read/write throughput is set to 400 KB/s, |
+| | and maximum read/write latency is set to 20000 usec. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|applicability | This test case can be configured with different: |
+| | |
+| | * IO types; |
+| | * IO block size; |
+| | * IO depth; |
+| | * ramp time; |
+| | * test duration. |
+| | |
+| | Default values exist. |
+| | |
+| | SLA is optional. The SLA in this test case serves as an |
+| | example. Considerably higher throughput and lower latency |
+| | are expected. However, to cover most configurations, both |
+| | baremetal and fully virtualized ones, this value should be |
+| | possible to achieve and acceptable for black box testing. |
+| | Many heavy IO applications start to suffer badly if the |
+| | read/write bandwidths are lower than this. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|pre-test | The test case image needs to be installed into Glance |
+|conditions | with fio included in it. |
+| | |
+| | No POD specific requirements have been identified. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test sequence | description and expected result |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 1 | A host VM with fio installed is booted. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 2 | Yardstick is connected with the host VM by using ssh. |
+| | 'fio_benchmark' bash script is copyied from Jump Host to |
+| | the host VM via the ssh tunnel. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 3 | 'fio_benchmark' script is invoked. Simulated IO operations |
+| | are started. IOPS, disk read/write bandwidth and latency are |
+| | recorded and checked against the SLA. Logs are produced and |
+| | stored. |
+| | |
+| | Result: Logs are stored. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 4 | The host VM is deleted. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test verdict | Fails only if SLA is not passed, or if there is a test case |
+| | execution problem. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+

+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.

+
+ 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
+ following 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
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export YARD_IMG_ARCH='amd64'
+ sudo echo "Defaults env_keep += \'YARD_IMG_ARCH\'" >> /etc/sudoers
+
+ Please use ansible script to generate a cloud image refer to :doc:`04-installation`
+
+ for more details refer to chapter :doc:`04-installation`
+
+ .. note:: VM should be build with static IP and should be accessible from yardstick host.

+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

+
+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

+ type: Node
+ name: yardstick
+ nfvi_type: baremetal

+
+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.
-

+| | * 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. |

+Yardstick Test Case Description: NSB PROX MPLS Tagging
+******************************************************

++-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+|NSB PROX test for NFVI characterization |
+| |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test case id | tc_prox_{context}_mpls_tagging-{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 | The PROX MPLS Tagging test will take packets in from one |
+| | port add an MPLS tag and forward them to another port. |
+| | While forwarding packets in other direction MPLS tags will |
+| | be removed. |
+| | |
+| | The MPLS test cases are implemented to run in baremetal |
+| | and heat context an require 4 port topology to run the |
+| | default configuration. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|configuration | The MPLS Tagging test cases are listed below: |
+| | |
+| | * tc_prox_baremetal_mpls_tagging-2.yaml |
+| | * tc_prox_baremetal_mpls_tagging-4.yaml |
+| | * tc_prox_heat_context_mpls_tagging-2.yaml |
+| | * tc_prox_heat_context_mpls_tagging-4.yaml |
+| | |
+| | Test duration is set as 300sec for each test. |
+| | The minimum packet size for MPLS test is 68 bytes. This is |
+| | set in the traffic profile and can be configured to use |
+| | higher packet sizes. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test tool | PROX |
+| | PROX is a DPDK application that can simulate VNF workloads |
+| | and can generate traffic and used for NFVI characterization |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|applicability | The PROX MPLS Tagging 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. |
+| | |
+| | 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(MPLS 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 68 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. |

+|test tool | ping |
+| | |
+| | Ping is a computer network administration software utility |
+| | used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet |
+| | Protocol (IP) network. It measures the round-trip time for |
+| | packet sent from the originating host to a destination |
+| | computer that are echoed back to the source. |
+| | |
+| | Ping is normally part of any Linux distribution, hence it |
+| | doesn't need to be installed. It is also part of the |
+| | Yardstick Docker image. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test topology | Ping packets (ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST |
+| | datagram) are sent from host container to target container |
+| | to elicit ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|configuration | file: opnfv_yardstick_tc080.yaml |
+| | |
+| | Packet size 200 bytes. Test duration 60 seconds. |
+| | SLA RTT is set to maximum 10 ms. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|applicability | This test case can be configured with different: |
+| | |
+| | * packet sizes; |
+| | * burst sizes; |
+| | * ping intervals; |
+| | * test durations; |
+| | * test iterations. |
+| | |
+| | Default values exist. |
+| | |
+| | SLA is optional. The SLA in this test case serves as an |
+| | example. Considerably lower RTT is expected, and also normal |
+| | to achieve in balanced L2 environments. However, to cover |
+| | most configurations, both bare metal and fully virtualized |
+| | ones, this value should be possible to achieve and |
+| | acceptable for black box testing. Many real time |
+| | applications start to suffer badly if the RTT time is higher |
+| | than this. Some may suffer bad also close to this RTT, while |
+| | others may not suffer at all. It is a compromise that may |
+| | have to be tuned for different configuration purposes. |
