13 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
14 |metric | Number of flows, packets lost and throughput |
16 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
17 |test purpose | To evaluate the IaaS network performance with regards to |
18 | | flows and throughput, such as if and how different amounts |
19 | | of flows matter for the throughput between VMs on different |
21 | | Typically e.g. the performance of a vSwitch |
22 | | depends on the number of flows running through it. Also |
23 | | performance of other equipment or entities can depend |
24 | | on the number of flows or the packet sizes used. |
25 | | The purpose is also to be able to spot trends. Test results, |
26 | | graphs ans similar shall be stored for comparison reasons and|
27 | | product evolution understanding between different OPNFV |
28 | | versions and/or configurations. |
30 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
31 |configuration | file: opnfv_yardstick_tc009.yaml |
33 | | Packet size: 64 bytes |
35 | | Number of ports: 1, 10, 50, 100, 500 and 1000. The amount of |
36 | | configured ports map from 2 up to 1001000 flows, |
37 | | respectively. Each port amount is run ten times, for 20 |
38 | | seconds each. Then the next port_amount is run, and so on. |
40 | | The client and server are distributed on different HW. |
42 | | For SLA max_ppm is set to 1000. |
44 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
47 | | (Pktgen is not always part of a Linux distribution, hence it |
48 | | needs to be installed. It is part of the Yardstick Docker |
50 | | As an example see the /yardstick/tools/ directory for how |
51 | | to generate a Linux image with pktgen included.) |

59 |applicability | Test can be configured with different packet sizes, amount |
60 | | of flows and test duration. Default values exist. |
62 | | SLA (optional): max_ppm: The number of packets per million |
63 | | packets sent that are acceptable to loose, not received. |
65 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
66 |pre-test | The test case image needs to be installed into Glance |
67 |conditions | with pktgen included in it. |
69 | | No POD specific requirements have been identified. |
71 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
72 |test sequence | description and expected result |
74 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
75 |step 1 | The hosts are installed, as server and client. pktgen is |
76 | | invoked and logs are produced and stored. |
78 | | Result: logs are stored. |
80 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
81 |test verdict | Fails only if SLA is not passed, or if there is a test case |
82 | | execution problem. |
