+|test tool | Vector Packet Processing (VPP) |
+| | The VPP platform is an extensible framework that provides |
+| | out-of-the-box production quality switch/router functionality.|
+| | Its high performance, proven technology, its modularity and, |
+| | flexibility and rich feature set |
+| | |
++--------------+---------------------------------------------------------------+
+|applicability | This VPP IPSEC test cases can be configured with different: |
+| | |
+| | * packet sizes; |
+| | * test durations; |
+| | * tolerated loss; |
+| | * crypto device type; |
+| | * number of physical cores; |
+| | * number of tunnels; |
+| | * number of connections; |
+| | * encryption algorithms - integrity algorithm; |
+| | |
+| | Default values exist. |
+| | |
++--------------+---------------------------------------------------------------+
+|pre-test | For Baremetal tests cases VPP and DPDK must be installed in |
+|conditions | 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. |
+| | |
++--------------+---------------------------------------------------------------+
+|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 | Test packets are generated by TG on links to DUTs. 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 a packet size |
+| | specified in the test case 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. |
+| | |
++--------------+---------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test verdict | The test case will achieve a Throughput with an accepted |
+| | minimal tolerated packet loss. |
