Hi Mark,

Thanks for providing the pointer to the IETF draft. This looks like a great 
document for describing vswitch performance benchmarking and we could clearly 
reuse/contribute to that document.
[Gray, Mark D] Yes, I think it would be good to share the good work that you 
are doing to the wider community and this may be a vehicle to do it.
There are already some overlap with what is being discussed here such as packet 
paths involving 1 or 2 VMs (what we call PVP, PVVP and used as well in OpNFV 
and EANTC testing), Other packet paths are called V2V, P2P… I think it would be 
great to make these terms more official in this draft.

My main concern is that this document – by design - stays agnostic of the 
implementations and deployment constraints, more specifically OpenStack base 
deployment constraints.
One example is the number of physical interfaces, as for most vswitch 
benchmarks, the draft still describes 2 phys interfaces, despite the fact that 
the vast majority of deployments use 1 phys interface per compite node (or 1 
bonded interface).
[Gray, Mark D] Absolutely correct. This is a problem with the IETF draft.
I understand that this draft can be augmented/amended with new content but it 
will likely still need to be complemented by another document specifying the 
specific constraints of an OpenStack deployment, such as:

-  Number of phys interface

-  Encapsulation types as described in this thread

-  Specific VM to vswitch challenges (vhost user)

Regarding the metrics, I would also like to see a more formal description on 
how to measure all these metrics (this is often lacking in standards 
specifications). Some of the metrics are well covered by current tools (such as 
RFS 2544 packet loss rate, 0PacketLoss) but many are not supported and are not 
trivial to measure (especially when the vswitch is to be seen as a black box). 
I found this gray area to cause quite a bit of confusion in the industry when 
end users require blanket conformance to some industry standards and NFV 
vendors need to comply to them…

We also discussed in this forum about the need to specify better the traffic 
sent to the VNFs, such as flow pattern (how many flows, how new flows are 
created, terminated over time…). I see this is mentioned very quickly in this 
draft (3.4 flow classification).
[Gray, Mark D] Yeah I think more detail in this area would be useful and it 
looks like you have more specific examples in this area.

Anyway, how would you suggest to see this moving forward? Should we try to 
split this work in 2 parts:


-  one generic and agnostic of deployment conditions to be done in the 
IETF draft context (e.g. introduce formal terminologies for packet paths, 
metrics definitions and measurement procedures, flow definition…)

-  one more specific to OpenStack documents (perhaps more in the 
context of OpNFV or OpenStack)
[Gray, Mark D] I think I saw them as one document but your suggestion sounds 
more reasonable as this would need to applicable outside of the context of 
Openstack and OPNFV.

The IETF process will be clearly a lot longer than the OpNFV/OpenStack one so 
we will have to work this out as well.
[Gray, Mark D] Yeah, I think so but perhaps it is a parallel activity.

Best Regards,

   Alec

Hi,

I am arriving a little bit late to this topic. I have been looking over the 
work and it is really comprehensive and evolving very well!

Haveyou considered contributing your work to the IETF draft for benchmarking 
virtual switches - 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-vsperf-bmwg-vswitch-opnfv-02 ? It may not be 
a perfect document but I believe it is trying to be agnostic to a test 
framework and vswitch implementation and could be a good starting point for a 
documented test plan that could be reapplied elsewhere and help showcase the 
benefits of VPP. Maciek, I think you helped on some test cases in this document?

Any thoughts on this?

2016-12-13 Thread Alec Hothan (ahothan) 

Thanks for confirming Billy and Thomas.
Could you also check regarding link bonding (whether deployments use link 
bonding).

A single tenant interface + bonding (which means 2 phys interfaces bonded) will 
exercise the bonding code in dpdk for the egress traffic..
This will also dictate the spec of the traffic generator frames (likely range 
of L3 addresses) in order to do proper load balancing.


Best Regards,

   Alec

I consulted with some of my Red Hat colleagues (primarily ODL developers)
and they agree that the typical deployment they have seen is with one
interface, not two.

Re: [vpp-dev] vHost user test scenarios for CSIT - TWS meeting

2016-12-12 Thread Pierre Pfister (ppfister) 
As per my action item from last meeting, I asked RedHat guy why they came up 
with testing with 2 physical interfaces instead of just one.

And the answer is really that they did that out of simplicity.
We should probably run some tests and see if using a single interface makes a 
difference (and take a decision based on that).

The person I talked to also mentioned that it is desirable to run tests with 
realistic flows and packet size rather than focusing on the very limited 64B 
Mpps test.

Hello Thomas,

Sorry I haven't reached out faster, I was travelling.

Please have a look at vppsb/vhost-test
It includes a standalone script which provides VPP and VM configuration for PVP 
tests.
- Runs testpmd in the VM
- Supports various CPU configuration for VPP
- Can run with or without gdb, debug or release

Not committed yet:
- Supports VM restart
- Support for VPP restart
- Support for multiple additional (dead) vhost interface

I did that outside of the context of CSIT so people can:
- Look at it and see what are the optimisations that are used
- Use it without CSIT

I will keep using and improving it because I use it for my own development and 
testing purposes.

Soliciting opinions from people as to vhost-user testing scenarios and guest 
modes in fd.io CSIT testing of VPP - vhost-user.

I will forward to this mailing list as well as summarize any additional 
feedback.

I asked some people that happen to be here at OVSCON as well as some Red Hat 
and Intel people. I am also including some people that are involved in upstream 
vhost-user work in DPDK.

So far, I have the following feedback with an attempt to condense feedback and 
to keep the list small. If I left out anything, let me know.

In addition to the PVP tests done now with small packets.

Testpmd in guest is OK for now.

1 Add multiple VMs (How many?)

Makes sense to me. 2 is enough (4 would be good number).

2 Both multi-queue and single-queue

Yes. Ideally, 1-2-4 queues.
With different number of workers (0 workers, i.e. single VPP thread, 1 worker, 
queues*2 workers).

3 Tests that cause the equivalent of multiple flows in OVS. Varying variety of 
traffic including layer 2 and layer 3 traffic.

Yes. Should test with L2 and L3.

4 Multiple IF's (Guest or Host or Both?)

Possibly.
But more importantly, I think, we need to have VM restart and interface restart 
(delete - create).
OpenStack integration generates a significant amount of delete-recreate of 
vhost interface.
