Hi Folks Just wanted to give you an update regarding the VSPERF performance characterization framework in OPNFV.
VSPERF is the Python based test framework for characterizing the performance of virtual switches. As of today, it's capable of conducting: * RFC2544 throughput tests (P2P and PVP) | RFC2544 throughput scalability tests. * RFC2544 back to back tests (P2P and PVP) * A simple performance test (P2P) : blast the switch at 100% linerate and measure the maximum forwarding rate. * CPU/Memory load tests with RFC2544. On both the OVS kernel datapath (for P2P), and the netdev-dpdk. Where P2P = Physical port → vSwitch → physical port (for more information checkout https://etherpad.opnfv.org/p/vSwitchPerfTestSpec ) And PVP = Physical port → vSwitch → VNF → vSwitch → physical port (for more information checkout https://etherpad.opnfv.org/p/vSwitchPerfTestSpec ) Note: It currently supports IXIA as the traffic generator, but development work is underway to support Spirent, Moongen and Xena. For people interested in trying out the framework checkout https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/#/admin/projects/vswitchperf or https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=vswitchperf.git;a=tree If you'd like to take part in the project in OPNFV, feel free to drop me an note and checkout https://wiki.opnfv.org/characterize_vswitch_performance_for_telco_nfv_use_cases.
