Minutes

Work in progress 8 months+, thanks to many people outside the project who helped with details of setup

Looking for feedback on tests we should run, in addition to whaat has been done (20+ plots - will discuss results in bullets today to save time).

Background on VSPERF project - started in 2014 in OPNFV.  Will re-name project soon. beyond test automation development, we conduct Experiments and feedback the expereince and features into the project code/framework.

Auto cluster, test, and test runs for the K8s cases.

Cluster: Ansible Role, Hosts, CNIs (Multus) - helps from Student Volunteers! (Parth and Emmanuel)

Described test details / configuration in the slides

THE EXPERIMENTS:

• Question what are the K8s performance gaps?
• For DPDK based multi-interface pods, what are the CNI plugin options, and how do they perform?
• What are teh Setup Challenges?
• OVS-DPDK, VPP, and SR-IOV: How do they compare with various options:
  • VPP with memif outperform vhost user
• Need Binary Search WITH Loss-verification (ETSI NFV TST009)
• Also run RFC 2544 Back 2 Back Frame Benchmark for buffer size measurement (see Internet Draft that updates 2544)
• CPU Count -
• NUMA placement -

NEXT STEPS

• OVS -DPDK with memif
• others
• HW Traffic Generator is most reliable.
• Other CNIs? requests (and help appreciated).

Cedric Ollivier - comments on results, need separate session on deploying the tests in other labs
  A: we are using the X-testing framework with VSPERF, need a separate session to cover this.  Also sharing the results with testdb so that the results are more widely available.
