+Yardstick_ is an OPNFV Project.
+
+The project's goal is to verify infrastructure compliance, from the perspective
+of a Virtual Network Function (:term:`VNF`).
+
+The Project's scope is the development of a test framework, *Yardstick*, test
+cases and test stimuli to enable Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure
+(:term:`NFVI`) verification.
+The Project also includes a sample :term:`VNF`, the Virtual Traffic Classifier
+(:term:`VTC`) and its experimental framework, *ApexLake* !
+
+*Yardstick* is used in OPNFV for verifying the OPNFV infrastructure and some of

+Methodology
+===========
+
+Abstract
+========
+
+This chapter describes the methodology implemented by the Yardstick project for
+verifying the :term:`NFVI` from the perspective of a :term:`VNF`.
+
+ETSI-NFV
+========
+
+.. _NFV-TST001: https://docbox.etsi.org/ISG/NFV/Open/Drafts/TST001_-_Pre-deployment_Validation/
+.. _Yardsticktst: https://wiki.opnfv.org/_media/opnfv_summit_-_bridging_opnfv_and_etsi.pdf
+
+
+The document ETSI GS NFV-TST001_, "Pre-deployment Testing; Report on Validation
+of NFV Environments and Services", recommends methods for pre-deployment
+testing of the functional components of an NFV environment.
+
+The Yardstick project implements the methodology described in chapter 6, "Pre-
+deployment validation of NFV infrastructure".
+
+The methodology consists in decomposing the typical :term:`VNF` work-load
+performance metrics into a number of characteristics/performance vectors, which
+each can be represented by distinct test-cases.
+
+The methodology includes five steps:
+
+* *Step1:* Define Infrastruture - the Hardware, Software and corresponding
+ configuration target for validation; the OPNFV infrastructure, in OPNFV
+ community labs.
+
+* *Step2:* Identify :term:`VNF` type - the application for which the
+ infrastructure is to be validated, and its requirements on the underlying
+ infrastructure.
+
+* *Step3:* Select test cases - depending on the workload that represents the
+ application for which the infrastruture is to be validated, the relevant
+ test cases amongst the list of available Yardstick test cases.
+
+* *Step4:* Execute tests - define the duration and number of iterations for the
+ selected test cases, tests runs are automated via OPNFV Jenkins Jobs.
+
+* *Step5:* Collect results - using the common API for result collection.
+
+.. seealso:: Yardsticktst_ for material on alignment ETSI TST001 and Yardstick.
+
+Metrics
+=======
+
+The metrics, as defined by ETSI GS NFV-TST001, are shown in
+:ref:`Table1 <table2_1>`, :ref:`Table2 <table2_2>` and
+:ref:`Table3 <table2_3>`.
+
+In OPNFV Brahmaputra release, generic test cases covering aspects of the listed
+metrics are available; further OPNFV releases will provide extended testing of
+these metrics.
+The view of available Yardstick test cases cross ETSI definitions in
+:ref:`Table1 <table2_1>`, :ref:`Table2 <table2_2>` and :ref:`Table3 <table2_3>`
+is shown in :ref:`Table4 <table2_4>`.
+It shall be noticed that the Yardstick test cases are examples, the test
+duration and number of iterations are configurable, as are the System Under
+Test (SUT) and the attributes (or, in Yardstick nomemclature, the scenario
+options).

+Virtual Traffic Classifier
+==========================
+
+Abstract
+========
+
+.. _TNOVA: http://www.t-nova.eu/
+.. _TNOVAresults: http://www.t-nova.eu/results/
+.. _Yardstick: https://wiki.opnfv.org/yardstick
+
+This chapter provides an overview of the virtual Traffic Classifier, a
+contribution to OPNFV Yardstick_ from the EU Project TNOVA_.
+Additional documentation is available in TNOVAresults_.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The virtual Traffic Classifier (:term:`VTC`) :term:`VNF`, comprises of a
+Virtual Network Function Component (:term:`VNFC`). The :term:`VNFC` contains
+both the Traffic Inspection module, and the Traffic forwarding module, needed
+to run the :term:`VNF`. The exploitation of Deep Packet Inspection
+(:term:`DPI`) methods for traffic classification is built around two basic
+assumptions:
+
+* third parties unaffiliated with either source or recipient are able to
+inspect each IP packet’s payload
+
+* the classifier knows the relevant syntax of each application’s packet
+payloads (protocol signatures, data patterns, etc.).
+
+The proposed :term:`DPI` based approach will only use an indicative, small
+number of the initial packets from each flow in order to identify the content
+and not inspect each packet.
+
+In this respect it follows the Packet Based per Flow State (term:`PBFS`). This
+method uses a table to track each session based on the 5-tuples (src address,
+dest address, src port,dest port, transport protocol) that is maintained for
+each flow.
+
+Concepts
+========
+
+* *Traffic Inspection*: The process of packet analysis and application
+identification of network traffic that passes through the :term:`VTC`.
+
+* *Traffic Forwarding*: The process of packet forwarding from an incoming
+network interface to a pre-defined outgoing network interface.
+
+* *Traffic Rule Application*: The process of packet tagging, based on a
+predefined set of rules. Packet tagging may include e.g. Type of Service
+(:term:`ToS`) field modification.
+
+Architecture
+============
+
+The Traffic Inspection module is the most computationally intensive component
+of the :term:`VNF`. It implements filtering and packet matching algorithms in
+order to support the enhanced traffic forwarding capability of the :term:`VNF`.
+The component supports a flow table (exploiting hashing algorithms for fast
+indexing of flows) and an inspection engine for traffic classification.
+
+The implementation used for these experiments exploits the nDPI library.
+The packet capturing mechanism is implemented using libpcap. When the
+:term:`DPI` engine identifies a new flow, the flow register is updated with the
+appropriate information and transmitted across the Traffic Forwarding module,
+which then applies any required policy updates.
+
+The Traffic Forwarding moudle is responsible for routing and packet forwarding.
+It accepts incoming network traffic, consults the flow table for classification
+information for each incoming flow and then applies pre-defined policies
+marking e.g. :term:`ToS`/Differentiated Services Code Point (:term:`DSCP`)
+multimedia traffic for Quality of Service (:term:`QoS`) enablement on the
+forwarded traffic.
+It is assumed that the traffic is forwarded using the default policy until it
+is identified and new policies are enforced.
+
+The expected response delay is considered to be negligible, as only a small
+number of packets are required to identify each flow.

+
+Task Template Syntax
+====================
+
+Basic template syntax
+---------------------
+A nice feature of the input task format used in Yardstick is that it supports
+the template syntax based on Jinja2.
+This turns out to be extremely useful when, say, you have a fixed structure of
+your task but you want to parameterize this task in some way.
+For example, imagine your input task file (task.yaml) runs a set of Ping
+scenarios:
+
+::
+
+ # Sample benchmark task config file
+ # measure network latency using ping
+ schema: "yardstick:task:0.1"
+
+ scenarios:
+ -
+ type: Ping
+ options:
+ packetsize: 200
+ host: athena.demo
+ target: ares.demo
+
+ runner:
+ type: Duration
+ duration: 60
+ interval: 1
+
+ sla:
+ max_rtt: 10
+ action: monitor
+
+ context:
+ ...
+
+Let's say you want to run the same set of scenarios with the same runner/
+context/sla, but you want to try another packetsize to compare the performance.
+The most elegant solution is then to turn the packetsize name into a template
+variable:
+
+::
+
+ # Sample benchmark task config file
+ # measure network latency using ping
+
+ schema: "yardstick:task:0.1"
+ scenarios:
+ -
+ type: Ping
+ options:
+ packetsize: {{packetsize}}
+ host: athena.demo
+ target: ares.demo
+
+ runner:
+ type: Duration
+ duration: 60
+ interval: 1
+
+ sla:
+ max_rtt: 10
+ action: monitor
+
+ context:
+ ...
+
+and then pass the argument value for {{packetsize}} when starting a task with
+this configuration file.
+Yardstick provides you with different ways to do that:
+
+1.Pass the argument values directly in the command-line interface (with either
+a JSON or YAML dictionary):
+
+::
+
+ yardstick task start samples/ping-template.yaml
+ --task-args'{"packetsize":"200"}'
+
+2.Refer to a file that specifies the argument values (JSON/YAML):
+
+::
+
+ yardstick task start samples/ping-template.yaml --task-args-file args.yaml
+
+Using the default values
+------------------------
+Note that the Jinja2 template syntax allows you to set the default values for
+your parameters.
+With default values set, your task file will work even if you don't
+parameterize it explicitly while starting a task.
+The default values should be set using the {% set ... %} clause (task.yaml).
+For example:
+
+::
+
+ # Sample benchmark task config file
+ # measure network latency using ping
+ schema: "yardstick:task:0.1"
+ {% set packetsize = packetsize or "100" %}
+ scenarios:
+ -
+ type: Ping
+ options:
+ packetsize: {{packetsize}}
+ host: athena.demo
+ target: ares.demo
+
+ runner:
+ type: Duration
+ duration: 60
+ interval: 1
+ ...
+
+If you don't pass the value for {{packetsize}} while starting a task, the
+default one will be used.
+
+Advanced templates
+------------------
+
+Yardstick makes it possible to use all the power of Jinja2 template syntax,
+including the mechanism of built-in functions.
+As an example, let us make up a task file that will do a block storage
+performance test.
+The input task file (fio-template.yaml) below uses the Jinja2 for-endfor
+construct to accomplish that:
+
+::
+
+ #Test block sizes of 4KB, 8KB, 64KB, 1MB
+ #Test 5 workloads: read, write, randwrite, randread, rw
+ schema: "yardstick:task:0.1"

+| | 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 |

+|Control Node Openstack Service High Availability |
+| |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test case id | OPNFV_YARDSTICK_TC019_HA: Control node Openstack service down|
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test purpose | This test case will verify the high availability of the |
+| | service provided by OpenStack (like nova-api, neutro-server) |
+| | on control node. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test method | This test case kills the processes of a specific Openstack |
+| | service on a selected control node, then checks whether the |
+| | request of the related Openstack command is OK and the killed|
+| | processes are recovered. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|attackers | In this test case, an attacker called "kill-process" is |
+| | needed. This attacker includes three parameters: |
+| | 1) fault_type: which is used for finding the attacker's |
+| | scripts. It should be always set to "kill-process" in this |
+| | test case. |
+| | 2) process_name: which is the process name of the specified |
+| | OpenStack service. If there are multiple processes use the |
+| | same name on the host, all of them are killed by this |
+| | attacker. |
+| | 3) host: which is the name of a control node being attacked. |
+| | |
+| | e.g. |
+| | -fault_type: "kill-process" |
+| | -process_name: "nova-api" |
+| | -host: node1 |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|monitors | In this test case, two kinds of monitor are needed: |
+| | 1. the "openstack-cmd" monitor constantly request a specific |
+| | Openstack command, which needs two parameters: |
+| | 1) monitor_type: which is used for finding the monitor class |
+| | and related scritps. It should be always set to |
+| | "openstack-cmd" for this monitor. |
+| | 2) command_name: which is the command name used for request |
+| | |
+| | 2. the "process" monitor check whether a process is running |
+| | on a specific node, which needs three parameters: |
+| | 1) monitor_type: which used for finding the monitor class and|
+| | related scritps. It should be always set to "process" |
+| | for this monitor. |
+| | 2) process_name: which is the process name for monitor |
+| | 3) host: which is the name of the node runing the process |
+| | |
+| | e.g. |
+| | monitor1: |
+| | -monitor_type: "openstack-cmd" |
+| | -command_name: "nova image-list" |
+| | monitor2: |
+| | -monitor_type: "process" |
+| | -process_name: "nova-api" |
+| | -host: node1 |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|metrics | In this test case, there are two metrics: |
+| | 1)service_outage_time: which indicates the maximum outage |
+| | time (seconds) of the specified Openstack command request. |
+| | 2)process_recover_time: which indicates the maximun time |
+| | (seconds) from the process being killed to recovered |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test tool | Developed by the project. Please see folder: |
+| | "yardstick/benchmark/scenarios/availability/ha_tools" |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|references | ETSI NFV REL001 |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|configuration | This test case needs two configuration files: |
+| | 1) test case file: opnfv_yardstick_tc019.yaml |
+| | -Attackers: see above "attackers" discription |
+| | -waiting_time: which is the time (seconds) from the process |
+| | being killed to stoping monitors the monitors |
+| | -Monitors: see above "monitors" discription |
+| | -SLA: see above "metrics" discription |
+| | |
+| | 2)POD file: pod.yaml |
+| | The POD configuration should record on pod.yaml first. |
+| | the "host" item in this test case will use the node name in |
+| | the pod.yaml. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test sequence | description and expected result |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 1 | start monitors: |
+| | each monitor will run with independently process |
+| | |
+| | Result: The monitor info will be collected. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 2 | do attacker: connect the host through SSH, and then execute |
+| | the kill process script with param value specified by |
+| | "process_name" |
+| | |
+| | Result: Process will be killed. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 3 | stop monitors after a period of time specified by |
+| | "waiting_time" |
+| | |
+| | Result: The monitor info will be aggregated. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 4 | verify the SLA |
+| | |
+| | Result: The test case is passed or not. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|post-action | It is the action when the test cases exist. It will check the|
+| | status of the specified process on the host, and restart the |
+| | process if it is not running for next test cases |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test verdict | Fails only if SLA is not passed, or if there is a test case |
+| | execution problem. |
+| | |

++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test case id | OPNFV_YARDSTICK_TC025_HA: OpenStack Controller Node |
+| | abnormally shutdown |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test purpose | This test case will verify the high availability of |
+| | controller node. When one of the controller node abnormally |
+| | shutdown, the service provided by it should be OK. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test method | This test case shutdowns a specified controller node with |
+| | some fault injection tools, then checks whether all services |
+| | provided by the controller node are OK with some monitor |
+| | tools. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|attackers | In this test case, an attacker called "host-shutdown" is |
+| | needed. This attacker includes two parameters: |
+| | 1) fault_type: which is used for finding the attacker's |
+| | scripts. It should be always set to "host-shutdown" in |
+| | this test case. |
+| | 2) host: the name of a controller node being attacked. |
+| | |
+| | e.g. |
+| | -fault_type: "host-shutdown" |
+| | -host: node1 |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|monitors | In this test case, one kind of monitor are needed: |
+| | 1. the "openstack-cmd" monitor constantly request a specific |
+| | Openstack command, which needs two parameters |
+| | 1) monitor_type: which is used for finding the monitor class |
+| | and related scritps. It should be always set to |
+| | "openstack-cmd" for this monitor. |
+| | 2) command_name: which is the command name used for request |
+| | |
+| | There are four instance of the "openstack-cmd" monitor: |
+| | monitor1: |
+| | -monitor_type: "openstack-cmd" |
+| | -api_name: "nova image-list" |
+| | monitor2: |
+| | -monitor_type: "openstack-cmd" |
+| | -api_name: "neutron router-list" |
+| | monitor3: |
+| | -monitor_type: "openstack-cmd" |
+| | -api_name: "heat stack-list" |
+| | monitor4: |
+| | -monitor_type: "openstack-cmd" |
+| | -api_name: "cinder list" |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|metrics | In this test case, there is one metric: |
+| | 1)service_outage_time: which indicates the maximum outage |
+| | time (seconds) of the specified Openstack command request. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test tool | Developed by the project. Please see folder: |
+| | "yardstick/benchmark/scenarios/availability/ha_tools" |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|references | ETSI NFV REL001 |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|configuration | This test case needs two configuration files: |
+| | 1) test case file: opnfv_yardstick_tc019.yaml |
+| | -Attackers: see above "attackers" discription |
+| | -waiting_time: which is the time (seconds) from the process |
+| | being killed to stoping monitors the monitors |
+| | -Monitors: see above "monitors" discription |
+| | -SLA: see above "metrics" discription |
+| | |
+| | 2)POD file: pod.yaml |
+| | The POD configuration should record on pod.yaml first. |
+| | the "host" item in this test case will use the node name in |
+| | the pod.yaml. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test sequence | description and expected result |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 1 | start monitors: |
+| | each monitor will run with independently process |
+| | |
+| | Result: The monitor info will be collected. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 2 | do attacker: connect the host through SSH, and then execute |
+| | shutdown script on the host |
+| | |
+| | Result: The host will be shutdown. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 3 | stop monitors after a period of time specified by |
+| | "waiting_time" |
+| | |
+| | Result: All monitor result will be aggregated. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 4 | verify the SLA |
+| | |
+| | Result: The test case is passed or not. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|post-action | It is the action when the test cases exist. It restarts the |
+| | specified controller node if it is not restarted. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test verdict | Fails only if SLA is not passed, or if there is a test case |
+| | execution problem. |
+| | |
