Hi all,

I am trying to install Contrail using fab and testbed.py. I need to enable 
sriov in Contrail.

The physical nics from compute node where I need to enable sriov have sriov 
capability (I've checked this using lspci -v). Although compute nodes do not 
have ASPM support (BIOS does not have this option), I've found on this mailing 
list that sriov works even if ASPM is disabled. [1]

I have added the following lines in testbed.py:
env.sriov = {
    host3 :[ {'interface' : 'eth5', 'VF' : 7, 'physnets' : ['physnet1', 
'physnet2']}]
              host4 :[ {'interface' : 'eth5', 'VF' : 7, 'physnets' : 
['physnet1', 'physnet2']}]
}

eth5 the interface on which data plane traffic (traffic from the VMs created on 
the compute nodes) is forwarded.
My question is: what does physnet represent?

Thanks,
Anda
