+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|metric | Number of flows, latency, throughput, packet loss |
| | CPU utilization percentage, CPU interrupt per second |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|test purpose | The purpose of TC037 is to evaluate the IaaS compute |
| | capacity and network performance with regards to CPU |
| | utilization, packet flows and network throughput, such as if |
| | and how different amounts of flows matter for the throughput |
| | between hosts on different compute blades, and the CPU load |
| | variation. |
| | |
| | Typically e.g. the performance of a vSwitch depends on the |
| | number of flows running through it. Also performance of |
| | other equipment or entities can depend on the number of |
| | flows or the packet sizes used |
| | |
| | The purpose is also to be able to spot the trends. |
| | Test results, graphs and similar shall be stored for |
| | comparison reasons and product evolution understanding |
| | between different OPNFV versions and/or configurations. |

|test tool | Ping, Pktgen, mpstat |
| | |
| | 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. |
| | |
| | Linux packet generator is a tool to generate packets at very |
| | high speed in the kernel. pktgen is mainly used to drive and |
| | LAN equipment test network. pktgen supports multi threading. |
| | To generate random MAC address, IP address, port number UDP |
| | packets, pktgen uses multiple CPU processors in the |
| | different PCI bus (PCI, PCIe bus) with Gigabit Ethernet |
| | tested (pktgen performance depends on the CPU processing |
| | speed, memory delay, PCI bus speed hardware parameters), |
| | Transmit data rate can be even larger than 10GBit/s. Visible |
| | can satisfy most card test requirements. |
| | |
| | The mpstat command writes to standard output activities for |
| | each available processor, processor 0 being the first one. |
| | Global average activities among all processors are also |
| | reported. The mpstat command can be used both on SMP and UP |
| | machines, but in the latter, only global average activities |
| | will be printed. |
| | |
| | (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. |
| | For example also a Cirros image can be downloaded from |
| | cirros-image_, it includes ping. |
| | |
| | Pktgen and mpstat are not always part of a Linux |
| | distribution, hence it needs to be installed. It is part of |
| | the Yardstick Docker image. |
| | As an example see the /yardstick/tools/ directory for how |
| | to generate a Linux image with pktgen and mpstat included.) |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|test | This test case uses Pktgen to generate packet flow between |
|description | two hosts for simulating network workloads on the SUT. |
| | Ping packets (ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST |
| | datagram) are sent from a host VM to the target VM(s) to |
| | elicit ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE, meanwhile CPU activities are |
| | monitored by mpstat. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|configuration | file: opnfv_yardstick_tc037.yaml |
| | |
| | Packet size is set to 64 bytes. |
| | Number of ports: 1, 10, 50, 100, 300, 500, 750 and 1000. |
| | The amount configured ports map from 2 up to 1001000 flows, |
| | respectively. Each port amount is run two times, for 20 |
| | seconds each. Then the next port_amount is run, and so on. |
| | During the test CPU load on both client and server, and the |
| | network latency between the client and server are measured. |
| | The client and server are distributed on different hardware. |
| | mpstat monitoring interval is set to 1 second. |
| | ping packet size is set to 100 bytes. |
| | For SLA max_ppm is set to 1000. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|applicability | Test can be configured with different: |
| | |
| | * pktgen packet sizes; |
| | * amount of flows; |
| | * test duration; |
| | * ping packet size; |
| | * mpstat monitor interval. |
| | |
| | Default values exist. |
| | |
| | SLA (optional): max_ppm: The number of packets per million |
| | packets sent that are acceptable to loose, not received. |

|pre-test | The test case image needs to be installed into Glance |
|conditions | with pktgen, mpstat included in it. |
| | |
| | No POD specific requirements have been identified. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|test sequence | description and expected result |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|step 1 | Two host VMs are booted, as server and client. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|step 2 | Yardstick is connected with the server VM by using ssh. |
| | 'pktgen_benchmark', "ping_benchmark" bash script are copyied |
| | from Jump Host to the server VM via the ssh tunnel. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|step 3 | An IP table is setup on server to monitor for received |
| | packets. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|step 4 | pktgen is invoked to generate packet flow between two server |
| | and client for simulating network workloads on the SUT. Ping |
| | is invoked. Ping packets are sent from server VM to client |
| | VM. mpstat is invoked, recording activities for each |
| | available processor. Results are processed and checked |
| | against the SLA. Logs are produced and stored. |
| | |
| | Result: Logs are stored. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|step 5 | Two host VMs are deleted. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|test verdict | Fails only if SLA is not passed, or if there is a test case |
| | execution problem. |
| | |
