Yardstick - NSB Testing -Installation
=====================================
Abstract
-========
+--------
The Network Service Benchmarking (NSB) extends the yardstick framework to do
VNF characterization and benchmarking in three different execution
Prerequisites

SUT requirements:
Install Yardstick (NSB Testing)
-===============================
+-------------------------------
Download the source code and install Yardstick from it
is to use ansible script ``install.yaml``. Refer chapter :doc:`04-installation`
for more details.

Config yardstick conf
----------------------
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If user did not run 'yardstick env influxdb' inside the container, which will
generate correct ``yardstick.conf``, then create the config file manually (run

Network Service Benchmarking - OpenStack with SR-IOV support
-============================================================
+------------------------------------------------------------
This section describes how to run a Sample VNF test case, using Heat context,
with SR-IOV. It also covers how to install OpenStack in Ubuntu 16.04, using
Single node OpenStack setup with external TG
---------------------------------------------
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Host pre-configuration
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+++++++++++++++++++++++
.. warning:: The following configuration requires sudo access to the system. Make
sure that your user have the access.
DevStack installation
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
++++++++++++++++++++++
Use official `Devstack <https://docs.openstack.org/devstack/pike/>`_
documentation to install OpenStack on a host. Please note, that stable
TG host configuration
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
++++++++++++++++++++++
Yardstick automatically install and configure Trex traffic generator on TG
host based on provided POD file (see below). Anyway, it's recommended to check
Run the Sample VNF test case
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There is an example of Sample VNF test case ready to be executed in an
OpenStack environment with SR-IOV support: ``samples/vnf_samples/nsut/vfw/

-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Pre-configuration of the controller and compute hosts are the same as
described in `Host pre-configuration`_ section. Follow the steps in the section.
DevStack configuration
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Use official `Devstack <https://docs.openstack.org/devstack/pike/>`_
documentation to install OpenStack on a host. Please note, that stable

1. Software needed: IxLoadAPI ``<IxLoadTclApi verson>Linux64.bin.tgz`` and
``<IxOS version>Linux64.bin.tar.gz`` (Download from ixia support site)
``<repo>/samples/vnf_samples/nsut/vfw/tc_baremetal_http_ixload_1b_Requests-65000_Concurrency.yaml``
IxNetwork
----------
+~~~~~~~~~
IxNetwork testcases use IxNetwork API Python Bindings module, which is
installed as part of the requirements of the project.
