Hi Folks I would like to highlight the release of a new version of TOIT to the vSwitch Characterization project in OPNFV.
TOIT was refactored to create a more generic framework that would allow for the performance testing of multiple vSwitches. **Refresh**: TOIT is an Apache licensed test framework that was developed in Python 2.7 to enable integration testing of Open vSwitch (OVS), and in particular the netdev-dpdk bridge in OVS. TOIT was adopted for the the "Characterize vSwitch Performance for Telco NFV Use Cases" OPNFV project (VSPERF). The main goal of VSPERF is to develop a generic and architecture agnostic vSwitch testing framework and associated tests that will serve as a basis for validating the suitability of different vSwitch implementations in Telco NFV environments. TOIT was extended as a starting point to help achieve the project goal. However, TOITs format was not generic enough to cater for different vSwitches and was redesigned/implemented to be more generic. The new design allows developers to add different implementations of components, specifically vSwitches, Traffic Generators, Metrics Collectors and VNFs, easily. The goal of this design is that all testcases should run regardless of what is "under the hood". The framework currently supports a phy to phy RFC2544 testcase only. vSwitches supported at this time: * Open vSwitch (dpdk-netdev) * We plan on supporting the kernel datapath soon. Traffic Generators supported at this time: * IxNet - IxNetwork Implementation * Ixia - IxExplorer Implementation * Dummy - Manual Implementation Metrics Collectors supported at this time: * Linux Metrics No VNFs are supported at this time but the framework outlines how they should be integrated and provides APIs for them to adhere to. What's new in VSPERF: * CentOS7 support * Verified on CentOS7 * Migrated to Python3 The code is available to view @ https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=vswitchperf.git;a=tree or to clone from: https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/vswitchperf. Setup guides are in the docs/ directory (https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=vswitchperf.git;a=tree;f=docs;h=05a538ba50d29266355a85cb8f6185c9d6cd29fe;hb=HEAD ). If there are any questions please drop me an email.
