| Get Disable Latency
| | [Documentation]
| | ... | If Get Use Latency returns true, return false.
| | ... | Otherwise return value of \${disable_latency} variable,
| | ... | or \${False} if not defined.
| |
| | ... | The return value controls whether latency trials in NDRPDR tests
| | ... | are executed. For example, ASTF tests do not support latency
| | ... | measurements yet, so executing the trials just wastes time.
| | ... | Return type: bool.
| |
| | ... | *Example:*
| |
| | ... | \| \${disable_latency} = \| Get Disable Latency \|
| |
| | ${use_latency} = | Get Use Latency
| | Return From Keyword If | ${use_latency} | ${False}
| | ${disable_latency} = | Get Variable Value | \${disable_latency} | ${False}
| | Return From Keyword | ${disable_latency}

| Get Max Rate
| | [Documentation]
| | ... | Return value of \${max_rate} variable,
| | ... | fail if it is not defined.
| | ... | Call this just before calling a Python keyword,
| | ... | as those have restricted access to Robot variables.
| |
| | ... | The return value controls the maximal unidirectional packet rate.
| | ... | The value is also usable for minimal TPS value for ASTF tests.
| | ... | Return type: float.
| |
| | ... | *Example:*
| |
| | ... | \| \${max_rate} = \| Get Max Rate \|
| |
| | ${max_rate} = | Get Variable Value | \${max_rate} | ${0.0}
| | Return From Keyword If | ${max_rate} | ${max_rate}
| | Fail | \${max_rate} is not defined. Call Set Max Rate And Jumbo keyword.

| Get Min Rate Hard
| | [Documentation]
| | ... | Return a hardcoded value.
| | ... | The return value controls the minimal unidirectional packet rate,
| | ... | to be used anywhere, including latency measurements at 0% load.

| | ... | by STL profiles with latency streams.
| | ... | Return type: float.
| |
| | ... | *Example:*
| |
| | ... | \| \${min_rate_hard} = \| Get Min Rate Hard \|
| |
| | Return From Keyword | ${9001.0}

| Get Min Rate Soft
| | [Documentation]
| | ... | If ramp up rate is not defined, return the hard min value.
| | ... | If ramp up rate is defined (and larger than hard min), return that.
| | ... | The reason is, ramp up rate should already guarantee no loss.
| |
| | ... | The return value controls the minimal unidirectional packet rate,
| | ... | to be used in various search algorithms.
| | ... | Latency measurements may want even lower loads, use hard min for that.
| |
| | ... | The value is also usable for minimal TPS value for ASTF tests.
| | ... | Return type: float.
| |
| | ... | Currently, undefined ramp up rate is reported as zero,
| | ... | so we return the maximum of ramp up rate and the hard min rate.
| |
| | ... | *Example:*
| |
| | ... | \| \${min_rate_soft} = \| Get Min Rate Soft \|
| |
| | ${min_rate_hard} = | Get Min Rate Hard
| | ${ramp_up_rate} = | Get Ramp Up Rate
| | ${min_rate_soft} = | Evaluate | max(${ramp_up_rate}, ${min_rate_hard})
| | Return From Keyword | ${min_rate_soft}

| |
| | ${pptad} = | Get Variable Value | \${packets_per_transaction_and_direction}
| | ... | ${1}
| | Return From Keyword | ${pptad}

| Get Ramp Up Duration
| | [Documentation]
| | ... | Return value of \${ramp_up_duration},
| | ... | or ${0.0} if not defined.
| |
| | ... | The return value determines the required duration of ramp-up phase.
| | ... | Typically used to prepare a specific state on DUT.

| | ... | The return value determines the rate for teardown trial,
| | ... | that is executed if a perf test fails.
| | ... | The \${rate_for_teardown} is usually not defined in suite,
| | ... | but search keywords set it in places where failure can occur,
| | ... | so the trial is done at the rate interesting for the failure.
| | ... | Return type: float.
| |
| | ... | *Example:*
| |
| | ... | \| \${rate_for_teardown} = \| Get Rate For Teardown \|
| |
| | ${rate_for_teardown} = | Get Variable Value | \${rate_for_teardown} | ${0.0}

| | [Documentation]
| | ... | Return value of \${runtime_duration} variable,
| | ... | if not defined return ${1.0}.
| |
| | ... | The return value controls the duration of runtime trial,
| | ... | which also acts as a warmup. Usually one second is enough,

| |
| | ... | *Example:*
| |
| | ... | \| \${runtime_duration} = \| Get Runtime Duration \|
| |
| | ${runtime_duration} = | Get Variable Value | \${runtime_duration} | ${1.0}
| | Return From Keyword | ${runtime_duration}

| Get Runtime Rate
| | [Documentation]
| | ... | Return value of \${runtime_rate} variable,
| | ... | if not defined return the max rate.
| |
| | ... | The return value controls the rate (TPS unidir) of runtime trial,
| | ... | which also acts as a warmup. No plans to ever use a different rate,
| | ... | but keywords look better if access to such values is uniform.
| | ... | Return type: float.
| |
| | ... | *Example:*
| |
| | ... | \| \${runtime_rate} = \| Get Runtime Rate \|
| |
| | ${runtime_rate} = | Get Variable Value | \${runtime_rate} | ${0.0}

| Get Traffic Directions
| | [Documentation]
| | ... | Return value of \${traffic_directions},
| | ... | or ${2} if not defined.
| |
| | ... | The return value used when parsing for measurement results.

| Get Transaction Duration
| | [Documentation]
| | ... | Return value of \${transaction_duration} variable,
| | ... | or \${0.0} if not defined.
| |
| | ... | The return value is the expected duration of single (ASTF) transaction
| | ... | if it is not negligible for overall trial duration computation.
| | ... | Most tests use very short transactions (without explicit delays),
| | ... | so the zero default works (and suite saves one line
| | ... | of Variables table).
| | ... | Return type: float.
| |
| | ... | *Example:*
| |
| | ... | \| \${transaction_duration} = \| Get Transaction Duration \|
| |
| | ${transaction_duration} = | Get Variable Value | \${transaction_duration}
| | ... | ${0.0}
| | Return From Keyword | ${transaction_duration}

| Get Transaction Scale
| | [Documentation]
| | ... | Return value of \${transaction_scale} variable,
| | ... | or \${0} if not defined.
| |
| | ... | Zero return value means the number of transactions is not limited,
| | ... | which is true for most STL TRex profiles (transaction is a packet).
| | ... | Nonzero return value means the number of transactions is fixed,
| | ... | for example in stateful NAT scale tests.
| | ... | Return type: integer.
| |
| | ... | *Example:*
| |
| | ... | \| \${transaction_scale} = \| Get Transaction Scale \|
| |
| | ${transaction_scale} = | Get Variable Value | \${transaction_scale} | ${0}
| | Return From Keyword | ${transaction_scale}

| | ... | Return value of \${transaction_type} variable,
| | ... | or "packet" if not defined.
| |
| | ... | The return value describes the type of transaction
| | ... | the test is executed. For example "packet" means a transaction
| | ... | is just a single packet. For more sophisticated transactions,
| | ... | the logic to determine the number of passed transactions
| | ... | is different from merely counting the packets received from DUT.
| | ... | Return type: string.
| |
| | ... | *Example:*
| |
| | ... | \| \${transaction_type} = \| Get Transaction Type \|
| |
| | ${transaction_type} = | Get Variable Value | \${transaction_type} | packet
| | Return From Keyword | ${transaction_type}

| Get Use Latency
| | [Documentation]
| | ... | Return value of \${use_latency} variable,
| | ... | if not defined return the value from Constants.
| |
| | ... | The return value controls whether latency streams are active
| | ... | during the main search.
| | ... | Return type: bool.
| |
| | ... | *Example:*
| |
| | ... | \| \${use_latency} = \| Get Use Latency \|
| |
| | ${use_latency} = | Get Variable Value | ${use_latency} | ${PERF_USE_LATENCY}
| | Return From Keyword | ${use_latency}

| Set Jumbo
| | [Documentation]
| | ... | Call Set Numeric Frame Sizes and set jumbo based on max framesize.
| | ... | To streamline suite autogeneration, both input and output values
| | ... | are communicated as test (or broader scope) variables,

| Set Max Rate And Jumbo
| | [Documentation]
| | ... | This keyword computes maximal unidirectional transmit rate
| | ... | and jumbo boolean (some suites need that for configuration decisions).
| | ... | To streamline suite autogeneration, both input and output values
| | ... | are communicated as test (or broader scope) variables,
| | ... | instead of explicit arguments and return values.
| |
| | ... | For correctly applying bandwidth limit, average frame size is used,
| | ... | see Set Numeric Frame Sizes keyword documentation for details.
| |
| | ... | If this keyword detects the test is interested in (unidirectional)
| | ... | transactons per second maximal rate (tps), that is returned (not pps).

| Set Numeric Frame Sizes
| | [Documentation]
| | ... | Framesize can be either integer in case of a single packet
| | ... | in stream, or set of packets in case of IMIX type or simmilar.
| | ... | For jumbo decisions, we need a numeric size of the biggest packet.
| | ... | For bandwidth limit decisions, we need a numeric average packet size
| | ... | in the more bit intensive direction if traffic is non-symmetric.
| | ... | Computation of max_rate assumes it is also the more pps direction
| | ... | (so it can have smaller average frame size than the aggregated one).
| | ... | Average (across both directions) frame size is also used
| | ... | for displaying the bidirectional bandwidth forwarded.
| | ... | This keyword computes all three values (accounting for overheads)
| | ... | and sets them as test variables.
| |
| | ... | Each suite sets a value named \${overhead},
| | ... | which describes by how many bytes the frames on DUT-DUT link
| | ... | are larger (due to encapsulation) than those
| | ... | on the primary TG-DUT link. For some suites that value
| | ... | can be negaive (if TG-DUT is encapsulated more heavily).
| | ... | For calculations in this keyword, we need largest sizes
| | ... | across links, so zero is used if \${overhead} is negative.
| |
| | ... | The other overhead is from TCP control packets (only IPv4 supported).
| | ... | TCP_CPS tests have SYN frames of length 78B and other frames 70B.
| | ... | The more loaded is client-to-server direction with 1 SYN and 3 other,
| | ... | across both directions it is 2 SYN and 5 other.
| | ... | TCP_PPS and TCP_TPUT tests have one other control packet less
| | ... | (in the less loaded direction), but they do contain data frames.
