Yardstick Test Case Description: NSB PROX VPE
*********************************************
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|NSB PROX test for NFVI characterization |
| |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|test case id | tc_prox_{context}_vpe-{port_num} |
| | |
| | * context = baremetal or heat_context; |
| | * port_num = 4; |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|metric | * Network Throughput; |
| | * TG Packets Out; |
| | * TG Packets In; |
| | * VNF Packets Out; |
| | * VNF Packets In; |
| | * Dropped packets; |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|test purpose | The PROX VPE test handles packet processing, routing, QinQ |
| | encapsulation, flows, ACL rules, adds/removes MPLS tagging |
| | and performs QoS before forwarding packet to another port. |
| | The reverse applies to forwarded packets in the other |
| | direction. |
| | |
| | The VPE test cases are implemented to run in baremetal |
| | and heat context an require 4 port topology to run the |
| | default configuration. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|configuration | The VPE test cases are listed below: |
| | |
| | * tc_prox_baremetal_vpe-4.yaml |
| | * tc_prox_heat_context_vpe-4.yaml |
| | |
| | Test duration is set as 300sec for each test. |
| | The minimum packet size for VPE 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 VPE 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(VPE 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. |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
