Hello Luca,
Your proposal sounds rather interesting. Certainly enabling DTS to
accept YAML-written tests sounds more developer-friendly and should
enable quicker test-writing. As this is an extra feature though – and a
nice-to-have, it should definitely be discussed in the DTS meetings as
Honnappa suggested already.
Another thing, I am not sure that the intention is that Scapy will be
the only traffic generator supported. Could be very wrong here. In the
case we'd support others too, how would you tackle this problem? We can
discuss this in the meeting as well if needed.
The proposed design works with any DPDK, traffic generator, sniffer or debugger
application that ether accepts input from STDIN or dumps output to SDTOUT.
I used testpmd / scapy in the example because that was the most obvious combo.
Regards,
Gregory
