13. Fortville Granularity Configuration of RSS and 32-bit GRE key Tests

13.1. Description

This document provides test plan for testing the function of Fortville:

  1. Support granularity configuration of RSS

    By default Fortville uses hash input set preloaded from NVM image which includes all fields IPv4/v6+TCP/UDP port. Potential problem for this is global configuration per device and can affect all ports. It is required that hash input set can be configurable, such as using IPv4 only or IPv6 only or IPv4/v6+TCP/UDP.

  2. support 32-bit GRE keys

    By default Fortville extracts only 24 bits of GRE key to FieldVector (NVGRE use case) but for Telco use cases full 32-bit GRE key is needed. It is required that both 24-bit and 32-bit keys for GRE should be supported. the test plan is to test the API to switch between 24-bit and 32-bit keys

13.1.1. Prerequisites

  1. Hardware:
    • 1x Fortville_eagle NIC (4x 10G)
    • 1x Fortville_spirit NIC (2x 40G)
    • 2x Fortville_spirit_single NIC (1x 40G)
  2. software:

13.2. Test Case 1: test with flow type ipv4-tcp

  1. config testpmd on DUT

    1. set up testpmd with Fortville NICs:

      ./testpmd -c 0x1ffff -n 4 -- -i --coremask=0x1fffe --portmask=0x3  --rxq=16 --txq=16 --tx-offloads=0x8fff
      
    2. Reta Configuration(optional, if not set, will use default):

      testpmd> port config 0 rss reta (hash_index,queue_id)
      
    3. PMD fwd only receive the packets:

      testpmd> set fwd rxonly
      
    4. rss received package type configuration:

      testpmd> port config all rss tcp
      
    5. set hash function:

      testpmd>set_hash_global_config 0 toeplitz ipv4-tcp enable
      
    6. verbose configuration:

      testpmd> set verbose 8
      
    7. start packet receive:

      testpmd> start
      
  2. using scapy to send packets with ipv4-tcp on tester:

    sendp([Ether(dst="%s")/IP(src="192.168.0.%d", dst="192.168.0.%d")/TCP(sport=1024,dport=1025)], iface="%s")
    

    then got hash value and queue value that output from the testpmd on DUT.

  3. set hash input set to “none” by testpmd on dut:

    testpmd> set_hash_input_set 0 ipv4-tcp none select
    

    send packet as step 2, got hash value and queue value that output from the testpmd on DUT, the values should be different from the values in step 2.

  4. set hash input set by testpmd on dut, enable src-ipv4 & dst-ipv4:

    testpmd> set_hash_input_set 0 ipv4-tcp src-ipv4 add
    testpmd> set_hash_input_set 0 ipv4-tcp dst-ipv4 add
    

    send packet as step 2, got hash value and queue value that output from the testpmd on DUT, the values should be different from the values in step 2.

  5. set hash input set by testpmd on dut, enable src-ipv4, dst-ipv4, tcp-src-port, tcp-dst-port:

    testpmd> set_hash_input_set 0 ipv4-tcp tcp-src-port add
    testpmd> set_hash_input_set 0 ipv4-tcp tcp-dst-port add
    

    send packet as step 2, got hash value and queue value that output from the testpmd on DUT, the values should be different with the values from step 3 & step 4, should be same as step 2.

  6. set hash input set by testpmd on dut, enable tcp-src-port, tcp-dst-port:

    testpmd> set_hash_input_set 0 ipv4-tcp none select
    testpmd> set_hash_input_set 0 ipv4-tcp tcp-src-port add
    testpmd> set_hash_input_set 0 ipv4-tcp tcp-dst-port add
    

    send packet as step 2, got hash value and queue value that output from the testpmd on DUT, the values should be should be different with the values from step2 & step 3 & step 4 & step 5.

    So it can be approved that with flow type ipv4-tcp, rss hash can be calculated by only included IPv4 fields or only included TCP fields or both IPv4+TCP fields.

13.3. Test Case 2: test with flow type ipv4-udp

  1. config testpmd on DUT

    send packet as step 2, got hash value and queue value that output from the testpmd on DUT, the values should be different from the values in step 2 & step 3.

  5. set hash input set by testpmd on dut, enable src-ipv4, dst-ipv4, udp-src-port, udp-dst-port:

    testpmd> set_hash_input_set 0 ipv4-udp udp-src-port add
    testpmd> set_hash_input_set 0 ipv4-udp udp-dst-port add
    

    send packet as step 2, got hash value and queue value that output from the testpmd on DUT, the values should be should be different with the values from step 3 & step 4, should be same as step 2.

    testpmd> set_hash_input_set 0 ipv4-udp udp-dst-port add
    

    send packet as step 2, got hash value and queue value that output from the testpmd on DUT, the values should be should be different with the values from step2 & step 3 & step 4 & step 5.

    So it can be approved that with flow type ipv4-udp, rss hash can be calculated by only included IPv4 fields or only included UDP fields or both IPv4+UDP fields.

    5. set hash function:

      testpmd>set_hash_global_config 0 toeplitz ipv4-other enable
      
    6. verbose configuration:

      testpmd> set verbose 8
      
    7. start packet receive:

      testpmd> start
      
  2. using scapy to send packets with GRE header on tester:

    sendp([Ether(dst="%s")/IP(src="192.168.0.1",dst="192.168.0.2",proto=47)/GRE(key_present=1,proto=2048,key=67108863)/IP()], iface="%s")
    

    then got hash value and queue value that output from the testpmd on DUT.

  3. set hash input set to “none” by testpmd on dut:

    testpmd> set_hash_input_set 0 ipv4-other none select
    

    send packet as step 2, got hash value and queue value that output from the testpmd on DUT, the value should be different with the values in step 2.

  4. set hash input set by testpmd on dut, enable src-ipv4, dst-ipv4:

    testpmd> set_hash_input_set 0 ipv4-other src-ipv4 add
    testpmd> set_hash_input_set 0 ipv4-other dst-ipv4 add
    

    send packet as step 2, got hash value and queue value that output from the testpmd on DUT, the value should be same with the values in step 2.

  5. set hash input set and gre-key-len=3 by testpmd on dut, enable gre-key:

    testpmd> global_config 0 gre-key-len 3
    testpmd> set_hash_input_set 0 ipv4-other gre-key add
    

    send packet as step 2, got hash value and queue value that output from the testpmd on DUT, the values should be different with the values in step 2.

  1. set gre-key-len=4 by testpmd on dut, enable gre-key:

    testpmd> global_config 0 gre-key-len 4
    

    send packet as step 2, got hash value and queue value that output from the testpmd on DUT, the values should be different with the values in step 4.

    So with gre-key-len=3 (24bit gre key) or gre-key-len=4 (32bit gre key), different rss hash value and queue value can be got, it can be proved that 32bit & 24bit gre key are supported by Fortville.
