| 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

| |
| | ... | The return value controls the minimal unidirectional packet rate,
| | ... | to be used in various search algorithms.

| | ... | for example in stateful NAT scale tests.
| | ... | Return type: integer.
| |
| | ... | *Example:*
| |
| | ... | \| \${transaction_scale} = \| Get Transaction Scale \|

| |
| | ... | For correctly applying bandwidth limit, average frame size is used,
| | ... | see Set Numeric Frame Sizes keyword documentation for details.

| 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.
| |
