#
# NFVbench default configuration file
#
# This configuration file is ALWAYS loaded by NFVbench and should never be modified by users.
# To specify your own property values, always define them in a separate config file
# and pass that file to the script using -c or --config <file>
# Property values in that config file will override the default values in the current file
#
---
# IMPORTANT CUSTOMIZATION NOTES
# There are roughly 2 types of NFVbench config based on the OpenStack encaps used:
# - VLAN (OVS, OVS-DPDK, ML2/VPP)
# Many of the fields to customize are relevant to only 1 of the 2 encaps
# These will be clearly labeled "VxLAN only" or "VLAN only"
# Fields that are not applicable will not be used by NFVbench and can be left empty
#
# All fields are applicable to all encaps/traffic generators unless explicitly marked otherwise.
# Fields that can be over-ridden at the command line are marked with the corresponding
# option, e.g. "--interval"


# Name of the image to use for launching the loopback VMs. This name must be
# the exact same name used in OpenStack (as shown from 'nova image-list')
# Can be overridden by --image or -i
image_name: 'nfvbenchvm'
# Forwarder to use in nfvbenchvm image. Available options: ['vpp', 'testpmd']
vm_forwarder: testpmd

# NFVbench can automatically upload a VM image if the image named by
# image_name is missing, for that you need to specify a file location where
# the image can be retrieved
#
# To upload the image as a file, download it to preferred location
# and prepend it with file:// like in this example:
# file://<location of the image>
# NFVbench (the image must have the same name as defined in image_name above).

# Name of the flavor to use for the loopback VMs
