The QUIC transport +protocol supports multiple streams per connection and test cases +utilize different combinations of QUIC connections and number of +streams per connection. + +The test configuration is as follows: + + DUT1 Network DUT2 +[ vpp_echo-client -> VPP1 ]=======[ VPP2 -> vpp_echo-server] + N-streams/connection + +where, + + 1. vpp_echo server attaches to VPP2 and LISTENs on VPP2:TCP port 1234. + 2. vpp_echo client creates one or more connections to VPP1 and opens + one or more stream per connection to VPP2:TCP port 1234. + 3. vpp_echo client transmits a uni-directional stream as fast as the + VPP Host Stack allows to the vpp_echo server for the test duration. + 4. At the end of the test the vpp_echo client emits the goodput + measurements for all streams and the sum of all streams. + + Test cases include + 1. 1 QUIC Connection with 1 Stream + 2. 1 QUIC connection with 10 Streams + 3. 10 QUIC connetions with 1 Stream + 4. 10 QUIC connections with 10 Streams + + with stream sizes to provide reasonable test durations.
