Used for - executing tests that require frame encapsulations supported by TG. - -- **3-Node Topology**: Consists of two EC2 instances acting as a Systems - Under Test (SUTs) and one EC2 instance acting as a Traffic Generator - (TG), with all instances connected into a ring topology. Used for - executing tests that require frame encapsulations not supported by TG - e.g. certain overlay tunnel encapsulations and IPsec. - -AWS EC2 Instances ------------------ - -CSIT is using AWS EC2 C5n instances as System Under Test and TG virtual -machines. C5n instances got selected to take advantage of high network -throughput and packet rate performance. C5n instances offer up to 100 -Gbps network bandwidth and increased memory over comparable C5 -instances. For more information, see -`Instance types <https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/>`_. - -C5n features: - -- 3.0 GHz Intel Xeon Platinum (Skylake) processors with Intel AVX-512 - instructions. -- Sustained all core Turbo frequency of up to 3.4GHz, and single core - turbo frequency of up to 3.5 GHz. -- Requires HVM AMIs (Amazon Machine Images) that include drivers for ENA - and NVMe. See :ref:`csit_ami` for more information. -- Network bandwidth to up to 100 Gbps. -- Powered by the AWS Nitro System, a combination of dedicated hardware - and lightweight hypervisor. - -+-------------+------+--------------+------------------------+-----------------------------+----------------------+ -| Model | vCPU | Memory (GiB) | Instance Storage (GiB) | Network Bandwidth (Gbps)*** | EBS Bandwidth (Mbps) | -+=============+======+==============+========================+=============================+======================+ -|c5n.large | 2 | 5.25 | EBS-Only | Up to 25 | Up to 4,750 | -+-------------+------+--------------+------------------------+-----------------------------+----------------------+ -|c5n.xlarge | 4 | 10.5 | EBS-Only | Up to 25 | Up to 4,750 | -+-------------+------+--------------+------------------------+-----------------------------+----------------------+ -|c5n.2xlarge | 8 | 21 | EBS-Only | Up to 25 | Up to 4,750 | -+-------------+------+--------------+------------------------+-----------------------------+----------------------+ -|c5n.4xlarge | 16 | 42 | EBS-Only | Up to 25 | 4,750 | -+-------------+------+--------------+------------------------+-----------------------------+----------------------+ -|c5n.9xlarge | 36 | 96 | EBS-Only | 50 | 9,500 | -+-------------+------+--------------+------------------------+-----------------------------+----------------------+ -|c5n.18xlarge | 72 | 192 | EBS-Only | 100 | 19,000 | -+-------------+------+--------------+------------------------+-----------------------------+----------------------+ -|c5n.metal | 72 | 192 | EBS-Only | 100 | 19,000 | -+-------------+------+--------------+------------------------+-----------------------------+----------------------+ - -CSIT is configured by default to use `c5n.4xlarge` in `eu-central-1` AWS -region due to allocation stability issues with `c5n.9xlarge` in -`eu-central-1` region. - - -AWS EC2 Networking ------------------- - -CSIT EC2 instances are equipped with AWS Elastic Network Adapter -(ENA) supporting AWS enhanced networking.
