#opnfv-cperf: cperf

Meeting summary

1. 1. Veryx tech rep on the call today, gives intro (dfarrell07, 18:37:37)
   2. Bhuvan/Veryx has been working with ODL Int/Test for a while to iterate on SDN perf testing, they have a tool for this (dfarrell07, 18:37:47)
   3. Looking at adding this tool to OPNFV tests (dfarrell07, 18:37:51)
   4. Test tool can follow CBench hello world example (dfarrell07, 18:37:57)
   5. Jamo and Bhuvan talk about OPNFV testing, overview of how OPNFV testing works (dfarrell07, 18:38:01)
   6. First step is likely to install test tool in tools container (dfarrell07, 18:38:07)
   7. Jamo got back to CBench test patches yesterday, has pushed some updated patches, needs feedback (dfarrell07, 18:38:16)
   8. LuisGomez talks about questions about OPNFV network layout, jamoluhrsen thinks it's fixed/okay for now, tools can live on jumphost (dfarrell07, 18:38:22)
   9. Bhuvan says that their tool has been tested on bare metal and VMs, not containers so far but should work (dfarrell07, 18:38:28)
   10. Bhuvan asks about access (dfarrell07, 18:38:34)
   11. https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/#/c/11973/ patch that added initial Dockerfile for test tools, would wnat to add here (dfarrell07, 18:38:43)
   12. https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/DEV/Developer+Getting+Started OPNFV dev getting started guide (dfarrell07, 18:38:52)
   13. quick way to access running code version of test tools container: `docker run -it opnfv/cperf bash` (dfarrell07, 18:38:58)
   14. Al asks about Bhuvan's work on IETF SDN controller draft, how many are implemented in this tool (dfarrell07, 18:39:07)
   15. Most tests can be done using the tool, about 50% are tested automatically by the tool perf draft, others are manual (dfarrell07, 18:39:14)
   16. Nikos not here today, some internal deadlines, working on logic to get nstat building on containers, some bugs in latte (dfarrell07, 18:39:20)
   17. dfarrell07 has conversations going on with Ericsson perf testing people about collaboration (dfarrell07, 18:39:27)
   18. dfarrell07 has been traveling for OPNFV Summit, ODL Hackfest and now LinuxCon Tokyo (dfarrell07, 18:39:34)
   19. Al and Bhuvan talk about tests, test methods, test metrics (dfarrell07, 18:39:49)
   20. Bhuvan gives background on test methods (dfarrell07, 18:41:19)
   21. LuisGomez talks about realistic tests focus of CPerf, vs artificial load on subsystems (dfarrell07, 18:41:41)
   22. Summery of steps for Bhuvan: 1) Get accounts configured, as described in OPNFV Dev Getting Started Guide 2) Send patches to add tool to test tools container 2) Work with team to get test running (will likely follow jamoluhrsen's work on getting hello world CBench test running) (dfarrell07, 18:45:41)
   23. continued discussion about test methods, NSTAT, reactive vs proactive, etc (dfarrell07, 18:46:14)
   24. Discussion about failure tests, reprogramming networks-style tests (dfarrell07, 18:47:30)
   25. Al talks about it being interesting that controller has view of topo, can say "okay, this part of topo is gone, fix it" and see how long it takes from a high level perspective (dfarrell07, 18:48:20)
   26. That^^ type of test would be nicely controller agnostic, dfarrell07 and LuisGomez say (dfarrell07, 18:48:37)
