It runs on physical baremetal servers hosted by LF FD.io project. -Based on the packet path thru SUT Containers, three distinct logical topology -types are used for VPP DUT data plane testing: - -#. vfNIC-to-vfNIC switching topologies. -#. vfNIC-to-vhost-user switching topologies. -#. vfNIC-to-memif switching topologies. - -vfNIC-to-vfNIC Switching -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -The simplest physical topology for software data plane application like -VPP is vfNIC-to-vfNIC switching. Tested virtual topologies for 2-Node testbeds -are shown in figures below. - -.. only:: latex - - .. raw:: latex - - \begin{figure}[H] - \centering - \graphicspath{{../_tmp/src/vpp_device_tests/}} - \includegraphics[width=0.90\textwidth]{vf-2n-nic2nic} - \label{fig:vf-2n-nic2nic} - \end{figure} - -.. only:: html - - .. figure:: ../vpp_device_tests/vf-2n-nic2nic.svg - :alt: vf-2n-nic2nic - :align: center - -SUT1 is Docker Container (running Ubuntu, depending on the test suite), TG is -a Traffic Generator (running Ubuntu Container). SUTs run VPP -SW application in Linux user-mode as a Device Under Test (DUT) within -the container. TG runs Scapy SW application as a packet Traffic Generator. -Network connectivity between SUTs and to TG is provided using virtual function -of physical NICs. - -Virtual topologies are created on-demand whenever a verification job is -started (e.g. triggered by the gerrit patch submission) and destroyed -upon completion of all functional tests. Each node is a container running on -physical server. During the test execution, all nodes are reachable thru -the Management (not shown above for clarity). - -vfNIC-to-vhost-user Switching -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -vfNIC-to-vhost-user switching topology test cases require VPP DUT to communicate -with Virtual Machine (VM) over Vhost-user virtual interfaces. VM is created on -SUT1 for the duration of these particular test cases only. Virtual test topology -with VM is shown in the figure below. - -.. only:: latex - - .. raw:: latex - - \begin{figure}[H] - \centering - \graphicspath{{../_tmp/src/vpp_device_tests/}} - \includegraphics[width=0.90\textwidth]{vf-2n-nic2vhost} - \label{fig:vf-2n-nic2vhost} - \end{figure} - -.. only:: html - - .. figure:: ../vpp_device_tests/vf-2n-nic2vhost.svg - :alt: vf-2n-nic2vhost - :align: center - -vfNIC-to-memif Switching -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -vfNIC-to-memif switching topology test cases require VPP DUT to communicate -with another Docker Container over memif interfaces. Container is created for -the duration of these particular test cases only and it is running the same VPP -version as running on DUT.
