9 |metric | Number of flows, packet size and throughput |
10 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
11 |test purpose | To evaluate the IaaS network performance with regards to |
12 | | flows and throughput, such as if and how different amounts |
13 | | of packet sizes and flows matter for the throughput between |
14 | | VMs on different compute blades. Typically e.g. the |
15 | | performance of a vSwitch |
16 | | depends on the number of flows running through it. Also |
17 | | performance of other equipment or entities can depend |
18 | | on the number of flows or the packet sizes used. |
19 | | The purpose is also to be able to spot trends. Test results, |
20 | | graphs ans similar shall be stored for comparison reasons and|
21 | | product evolution understanding between different OPNFV |
22 | | versions and/or configurations. |
23 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
24 |configuration | file: opnfv_yardstick_tc008.yaml |
26 | | Packet size: 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 1280 and 1518 bytes. |
28 | | Number of ports: 1, 10, 50, 100, 500 and 1000. The amount of |
29 | | configured ports map from 2 up to 1001000 flows, |
30 | | respectively. Each packet_size/port_amount combination is run|
31 | | ten times, for 20 seconds each. Then the next |
32 | | packet_size/port_amount combination is run, and so on. |
34 | | The client and server are distributed on different HW. |
36 | | For SLA max_ppm is set to 1000. |
37 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
40 | | (Pktgen is not always part of a Linux distribution, hence it |
41 | | needs to be installed. It is part of the Yardstick Docker |
43 | | As an example see the /yardstick/tools/ directory for how |
44 | | to generate a Linux image with pktgen included.) |

50 |applicability | Test can be configured with different packet sizes, amount |
51 | | of flows and test duration. Default values exist. |
54 | | max_ppm: The number of packets per million packets sent |
55 | | that are acceptable to lose, i.e. not received. |
56 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
57 |pre-test | The test case image needs to be installed into Glance |
58 |conditions | with pktgen included in it. |
60 | | No POD specific requirements have been identified. |

64 | | 1 | The hosts are installed, as | Logs are stored |
65 | | | server and client. pktgen is | |
66 | | | invoked and logs are produced | |
68 +--------------+------+----------------------------------+--------------------+
69 |test verdict | Fails only if SLA is not passed, or if there is a test case |
70 | | execution problem. |
