  22 |test purpose  | To do a basic verification that network latency is within    |
  23 |              | acceptable boundaries when packets travel between hosts      |
  24 |              | located on same or different compute blades.                 |
  25 |              | The purpose is also to be able to spot trends. Test results, |
  26 |              | graphs and similar shall be stored for comparison reasons and|
  27 |              | product evolution understanding between different OPNFV      |
  28 |              | versions and/or configurations.                              |

  31 |configuration | file: opnfv_yardstick_tc002.yaml                             |
  32 |              |                                                              |
  33 |              | Packet size 100 bytes. Total test duration 600 seconds.      |
  34 |              | One ping each 10 seconds. SLA RTT is set to maximum 10 ms.   |
  35 |              |                                                              |
  36 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
  37 |test tool     | ping                                                         |
  38 |              |                                                              |
  39 |              | Ping is normally part of any Linux distribution, hence it    |
  40 |              | doesn't need to be installed. It is also part of the         |
  41 |              | Yardstick Docker image.                                      |
  42 |              | (For example also a Cirros image can be downloaded from      |
  43 |              | cirros-image_, it includes ping)                             |

  51 |applicability | Test case can be configured with different packet sizes,     |
  52 |              | burst sizes, ping intervals and test duration.               |
  53 |              | SLA is optional. The SLA in this test case serves as an      |
  54 |              | example. Considerably lower RTT is expected, and             |
  55 |              | also normal to achieve in balanced L2 environments. However, |
  56 |              | to cover most configurations, both bare metal and fully      |
  57 |              | virtualized ones, this value should be possible to achieve   |
  58 |              | and acceptable for black box testing. Many real time         |
  59 |              | applications start to suffer badly if the RTT time is higher |
  60 |              | than this. Some may suffer bad also close to this RTT, while |
  61 |              | others may not suffer at all. It is a compromise that may    |
  62 |              | have to be tuned for different configuration purposes.       |
  63 |              |                                                              |
  64 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
  65 |pre-test      | The test case image needs to be installed into Glance        |
  66 |conditions    | with ping included in it.                                    |
  67 |              |                                                              |
  68 |              | No POD specific requirements have been identified.           |

  73 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
  74 |step 1        | The hosts are installed, as server and client. Ping is       |
  75 |              | invoked and logs are produced and stored.                    |
  76 |              |                                                              |
  77 |              | Result: Logs are stored.                                     |
  78 |              |                                                              |
  79 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
  80 |test verdict  | Test should not PASS if any RTT is above the optional SLA    |
  81 |              | value, or if there is a test case execution problem.         |
