RFC2544: Pkt throughput L2BD test cases with vhost

  • [Top] Network Topologies: TG-DUT1-TG 2-node circular topology with single links between nodes.

  • [Enc] Packet Encapsulations: Eth-IPv4 for L2 switching of IPv4.

  • [Cfg] DUT configuration: DUT1 is configured with L2 bridge- domain and MAC learning enabled. Qemu VNFs are connected o VPP via vhost-user interfaces. Guest is running testpmd interconnecting vhost-user interfaces, rxd/txd=1024. DUT1 is tested with Mellanox-CX556A.

  • [Ver] TG vefication: In MaxReceivedRate tests TG sends traffic at line rate and reports total received packets over trial period. Test packets are generated by TG on links to DUTs. TG traffic profile contains two L3 flow-groups (flow-group per direction, 254 flows per flow-group) with all packets containing Ethernet header, IPv4 header with IP protocol=61 and static payload. MAC addresses are matching MAC addresses of the TG node interfaces.

  • [Ref] Applicable standard specifications: RFC2544.
