Perf-Bench¶

Warning

Ostinato Perf-Bench is in early-access phase - feature-incomplete and limited testing.

You need docker to run Ostinato Perf-Bench.

Test Topology¶

Ostinato Performance Benchmarking Topology

PerfBench acts as a controller in the Ostinato Architecture and therefore can be run on a different host or on the same host running the drone. In case of the latter specify the tester device as localhost or 127.0.0.1in the test config YAML (see below).

How to Install¶

Un-archive the contents and import the docker image.

$ tar zxvf ostinato-perfbench-<VERSION>.tgz
$ cd ostinato-perfbench-<VERSION>
$ docker load -i docker-ostinato-perfbench-<VERSION>.tgz

How to Run¶

Create the test config YAML file perfbench.yml . A sample is shown below -

tester:
    # Specify the ostinato-agent (aka drone) details
    device:
        host: tg-drone
        description: 'Linux 1G drones'
        tx_port: 'enp0s8'
        rx_port: 'enp0s9'
    # Specify TX/RX IP and Gateway IP for the tester tx/rx_ports
    # If the DUT is directly connected to the tester, the gateway IPs should
    # be configured on the DUT
    tx_ip: '198.18.1.2'
    tx_gateway: '198.18.1.1'
    rx_ip: '198.19.1.2'
    rx_gateway: '198.19.1.1'

To run the Perf-Bench container, use the shell script -

$ ./perfbench.sh [optional params]

If running on Windows, use perfbench.bat instead.
