Intel IPU - IPDK

Project Description :

This project aimed to collect the Throughput performance of Linux Namespace with p4 configuration on Intel IPU Ethernet Network adapters.

Roles and Responsbilites :

Reseting BIOS configuration to default values and applying tunned BIOS configuration manually
Bringing up Test system: By installing OS (Linux RHEL)
Configuring and installing required depedenices, package libs, P4-DPDK rules, microVMs, Namespace VMs to bring up the IPDK test setup
Executing Throughput performance test by manullay or using automated scripts using iperf or Netperf traffic generator to collect following performance data sets with CPU utilization of the SUT test system:

TCP Traffic Buffer Size = 32 to 65535
UDP Traffic Buffer Size = 32 to MAX MTU Size
Number of Traffic Threads = 1 to MAX Number of Test system CPU Cores
Number of Test ports in Ethernet Adapter = 1 to MAX number of PF ports supported in Network Adapter
Traffic Directions = UX (TX , RX) and BX

Executing Latency Test by manuall or using automated scripts using netperf tool
Analyse collected results, prepare a report for it and share it to team and management

Technologies and Tools Used :

iPerf2 and Netperf	:	used for collecting TCP and UDP Traffic Throughput Performance Data
Bash Shell script	:	used for Configuring and bringing up Test system and executed iperf netperf traffic tests
