-Introduction

+*******************
+NFVbench components
+*******************
NFVbench can be decomposed in the following components:
+
- Configuration
- Orchestration:
- Results analysis
Configuration
--------------
+=============
This component is in charge of getting the configuration options from the user and consolidate them with
the default configuration into a running configuration.
default configuration + user configuration options = running configuration
User configuration can come from:
+
- CLI configuration shortcut arguments (e.g --frame-size)
- CLI configuration file (--config [file])
- CLI configuration string (--config [string])
- custom platform pluging
The precedence order for configuration is (from highest precedence to lowest precedence)
+
- CLI configuration or REST configuration
- custom platform plugin
- default configuration
A custom platform plugin class is a child of the parent class nfvbench.config_plugin.ConfigPlugin.
Orchestration
--------------
+=============
Once the configuration is settled, benchmark orchestration is managed by the ChainRunner class (nfvbench.chain_runner.ChainRunner).
The chain runner will take care of orchestrating the staging, traffic generation and results analysis.
------------------
The traffic generation component is in charge of contrilling the TRex traffic generator using its python API.
It includes tasks such as:
+
- traffic check end to end to make sure the packet path is clear in both directions before starting a benchmark
- programming the TRex traffic flows based on requested parameters
- fixed rate control

+Overview
+--------
-Introduction
-----------------
NFVbench is a python application that is designed to run in a compact and portable format inside a container and on production pods.
As such it only uses open sourec software with minimal hardware requirements (just a NIC card that is DPDK compatible).
Traffic generation is handled by TRex on 2 physical ports (2x10G or higher) forming traffic loops up to VNF level and following
Configuration of benchmarks is through a yaml configuraton file and command line arguments.
Results are available in different formats:
+
- text output with tabular results
- json result in file or in REST reply (most detailed)
IMIX Support
------------
In the case of IMIX, each direction is made of 4 streams:
+
- 1 latency stream
- 1 stream for each IMIX frame size

NFVBENCH VM IMAGES FOR OPENSTACK
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
.. note:: Run ``bash build-image.sh`` -h to see all options available.
-.. note:: By default, the generator VM image embeds the latest nfvbench version
- found on the master branch of OPNFV Gerrit repository
- https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/nfvbench.
+.. note:: By default, the generator VM image embeds the latest nfvbench code
+ found at the time of the build on the master branch of NFVbench Git
+ repository on OPNFV Gerrit instance (latest commit).
During development phases, it is also possible to build the image with
all the committed changes found in the current working copy of
NFVbench VM will be accessible through SSH or HTTP using the management interface IP.
NFVbench API endpoint is : `http://<management_ip>:<port>`

NFVbench Kibana visualization: overview
=======================================
Vega offers the possibility to add another graph as a new layer of current graph.
This solution is used to combine NFVbench results and theoretical line rate.
-Using ``extra_encapsulation_bytes`` in --user-info property (see `User info data section <https://opnfv-nfvbench.readthedocs.io/en/latest/testing/user/userguide/advanced.html#user-info-data>`_),
+Using ``extra_encapsulation_bytes`` in --user-info property (see :ref:`user-info`),
the theoretical max value (for bps and pps) will be calculated and can be used in graph through ``theoretical_tx_rate_bps`` and ``theoretical_tx_rate_pps`` properties.
Example of chart with theoretical value (red line):

MPLS encapsulation feature
==========================
Please note: ``l3_router`` option is also compatible with external routers. In this case NFVBench will use ``EXT`` chain.
.. note:: Using a long NFVbench run test, end-to-end connectivity can be lost depending on ARP stale time SUT configuration.
-To avoid this issue, activate Gratuitous ARP stream using ``--gratuitous-arp`` or ``-garp`` option.
