Merge "xena_verify: Add final verification option to Xena"

ixia: Support of 1 NIC connection to trafficgen

For some testcases it is useful to have only one connection between
traffic generator and DUT. Thus IxNet class was extended to support
such connection. Feature is enabled if both IXIA ports are set to
the same value.
New integration testcase ixnet_pvp_tput_1nic was created to demonstrate
this feature.
Unused code was removed from 3rd_party/ixia/ixnetrfc2544.tcl to simplify
introduction of new features and to speed up IXIA configuration.

xena_cont_learning: Adds learning preemption to continuous traffic

Adds a configurable learning preemptive option when running
xena continuous traffic tests. This resolves a missing packet
or two when running OVS tests at flow rates that should not
drop packets.

xena_cont_accuracy_fix: Xena continuous traffic accuracy fixes

Second patch to help improve Xena continuous traffic accuracy.
Increases delay before gathering statistics to allow packets in

based on total bytes and packets received versus capturing the
data while port is transmitting from active statistics.

Sets time limit on ports based on duration.

testpmd_pvp_fix: Fix SR-IOV QemuPciPassthrough mode to not use vdev

A recent patch introduced a bug where SR-IOV would use code designed
for use with testpmd_pvp scenarios. This is because this scenario
also calls for the vswitch=none flag. This patch resolves this issue
to stop the vdev devices from being added when the vnf is specified
as QemuPciPassthrough.

Merge "traffic: Configurable traffic details"

traffic: Configurable traffic details

Traffic generated by traffic generator is based on default
values and their modifications specific to particular testing
scenario. Traffic default values were defined inside VSPERF
code and it was not possible to change them. This patch introduces
new TRAFFIC dictionary inside 03_traffic.conf. Thus user can
modify any of TRAFFIC values either in configuration file
or by CLI or by 'Parameters' section of testcase definition.
Following CLI options were obsoleted by this patch:
    'bidirectional', 'traffic_type', 'iload', 'multistream',
    'stream_type' and 'pre-installed_flows'
Following CLI option was renamed to be consistent with other options:
    'tunnel_type' => 'TUNNEL_TYPE'
Following sections of testcase definition were obsoleted:
    "Traffic Type", "biDirectional", "MultiStream", "Stream Type",
    "Pre-installed Flows", "Flow Type" and "iLoad"
New TRAFFIC dictionary should be used instead of old CLI options
and old testcase definition sections. Testcase definitons,
yardstick sample testcases and documentation were updated to reflect
configuration changes.
