| - | ===== virtual Traffic Classifier in Yardstick ====== | + | ===== Virtual Traffic Classifier in Yardstick ====== |
| + | |||
| + | Some of the test cases provided with Yardstick are based on the deployment and execution of a virtual Traffic Classifier (vTC) network function. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For the execution of Test Cases 006, 007, 020 and 021 some hardware and configuration requirements are needed. This page describes these configuration requirements. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Framework Hardware Dependencies ==== | ||
| + | In order to run the framework there are some hardware related dependencies for ApexLake. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === DPDK dependecy === | ||
| + | Yardstick and Apexlake need to be installed on the same physical node where DPDK-pktgen is installed. | ||
| + | The installation of this component requires the physical node hosting the packet generator must have 2 physical Network Interface Cards (NICs) which are DPDK compatible. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Switch configuration === | ||
| + | The 2 NICs will be connected to the switch where the OpenStack VM network is managed. | ||
| + | The switch used must also support multicast traffic and IGMP snooping. | ||
| + | The corresponding ports to which the cables are connected need to be configured as VLAN trunks | ||
| + | using two of the VLAN IDs available for OpenStack Neutron. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | === Montreal Testbed configuration === | ||
| + | A diagram of the configuration used in the Montreal Testbed is shown at the following link: | ||
