hpcap-test.cfg.sample

# Sample configuration file for the hpcap-test script.
# This file contains settings that manage the testing of the
# driver.
# Uses bash syntax.

### Basic testing facilities ###

# Space-separated list of the drivers that will be tested.
# Note: all drivers are tested for successful compilation.
use_drivers="hpcap"

# If "true", the testing script will try to remove and reinstall
# the driver to ensure that it works perfectly. The bad part is that
# it makes the test session last a little bit more.
test_rmmod=true

# Test the driver installlation procedure. It's obviously required to
# install the driver in order to test it. However, if you just want
# to do traffic tests and you are sure that HPCAP is always installed,
# you can set this to false to make tests faster.
test_insmod=true

### Traffic capture & generation tests ###

# These tests ensure that HPCAP can receive traffic at the desired rates
# and that losses don't occur. Optionally, the test can also be configured
# to send and receive traffic and ensure that the capture files are equal.

# Test traffic reception without writing to disk.
test_traffic_rx=false

# HPCAP port that will receive the traffic
receiver_port=3

## Parameters to control the traffic generator.

# SSH host specification of the machine that will generate the traffic.
generator_ssh_host="myuser@myhost"

# Application used to generate the traffic.
# Supported values:
# 	- moongen: https://github.com/emmericp/MoonGen
# 	- fpga: José Fernando's FPGA traffic generator
# 	- hpcn_latency: Rafa Leira's DPDK-based generator
generator_mode="moongen"

# Binaries for the FPGA generator
fpga_path=""

# Path of the hpcn_latency application
hpcn_latency_path=""

# MAC target for the hpcn_latency app
hpcn_latency_dstmac="ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff"

# Port to use when sending traffic.
generator_port=3

# Rate, in Mbps, of the traffic generator.
generation_rate_Mbps=8500

# Size, in bytes, of the frames to send through the generator.
generation_frame_size=88

generation_duration_seconds=60

# Frames that we accept losing. If the number of lost frames is
# greater than this, we will fail the test.
loss_margin=1000

# Test traffic reception and write to disk.
test_traffic_store=false

# Where to save the the traffic
traffic_store_dir=/disco_capturas_0

# Generation rate for the storage test
generation_storage_rate_Mbps=8500

# Test the reception with small, non-hugepage buffers.
# These may help to discover issues with counters that overflow
test_small_buffer=true

# The size of the buffer for small size tests, in megabytes.
small_buffer_size_MB=32

# Generation rate for the small buffer tests
small_buffer_genrate_Mbps=6000

# Maximum loss percentage for the small buffer tests
small_buffer_max_loss_pctg=20

# Duration of the generation for the small buffer tests
small_buffer_gen_duration_seconds=100

# Test for correct paddings even with strange/forced situations
test_bad_padding=true

# Duration of the generation for the bad padding test. With only a few seconds it's enough.
bad_padding_gen_duration_seconds=20

### Benchmarking specific settings (application scripts/hpcap-benchmark) ###

# Configuration data such as receiver/generator_port, generator_ssh_host, generator_mode
# and generation_duration_seconds are read from the section above.

# Frame sizes to test
benchmark_framesizes="64 68 72 76 80 84 88 92 96 100 110 120 150 200 300 500 1500"

# Throughput rates to test (in Mbps)
benchmark_rates_Mbps="10000"

# Rates for the duplicate capture benchmark
benchmark_duplicate_rates="5 20 100 300 1000"
