|test case id | OPNFV_YARDSTICK_TC081_NETWORK_LATENCY_BETWEEN_CONTAINER_AND_ |
| | VM |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|metric | RTT (Round Trip Time) |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|test purpose | The purpose of TC081 is to do a basic verification that |
| | network latency is within acceptable boundaries when packets |
| | travel between a containers and a VM. |
| | |
| | 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 |
| | |
| | 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. (For example also a Cirros image can |
| | be downloaded from cirros-image_, it includes ping) |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|test topology | Ping packets (ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST |
| | datagram) are sent from host container to target vm to |
| | elicit ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|configuration | file: opnfv_yardstick_tc081.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. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|usability | This test case should be run in Kunernetes environment. |
| | |

|pre-test | The test case Docker image (openretriever/yardstick) needs |
|conditions | to be pulled into Kubernetes environment. |
| | The VM image (cirros-image) needs to be installed into |
| | Glance with ping included in it. |
| | |
| | No further requirements have been identified. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|test sequence | description and expected result |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|step 1 | A containers is booted, as server and a VM is booted as |
| | client. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|step 2 | Yardstick is connected with the server container by using |
| | ssh. 'ping_benchmark' bash script is copied from Jump Host |
| | to the server container via the ssh tunnel. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|step 3 | Ping is invoked. Ping packets are sent from server container |
| | to client VM. RTT results are calculated and checked against |
| | the SLA. Logs are produced and stored. |
| | |
| | Result: Logs are stored. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|step 4 | The container and VM are deleted. |
| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|test verdict | Test should not PASS if any RTT is above the optional SLA |
| | value, or if there is a test case execution problem. |
| | |
