contrail_vnc_refactor_perf

Measure the time time for the port-list, net-list and subnet-list and other list commands by the contrail neutron plugin v2 and refactored v3.

Please follow the below steps to run this small crapy program

1. Cherry pick this patch - https://review.opencontrail.org/#/c/11280/ into the contrail-neutron-plugin repo.

2. Create lots of networks, ports, subnets, routers, fips, security groups/rules.

3. Make sure that neutron server can be started or stopped using the upstart/service command. If you are running devstack, then you create an upstart configuration by refering to the file "neutron-server-upstart.conf". This program switches between the v2 plugin and v3 plugin by stopping and starting the neutron server.

4. This repo has two programs - vnc_perf_server.py and vnc_perf_check.py vnc_perf_server.py should be run in the node where neutron server is run. vnc_perf_check.py can be run in any node as long as the neutron server and keystone is reachable. vnc_perf_check uses the neutron client to send the commands. So source the openstack credentials.

5. Run vnc_perf_server.py as shown below $sudo python vnc_perf_server.py --v2-config-file --v3-config-file --is_devstack True/False --host --port

   Eg.

   $sudo python vnc_perf_server.py --v2-config-file /etc/neutron/neutron_v2.conf --v3-config-file /etc/neutron/neutron_v3.conf --is_devstack True --host 10.43.100.3 --port 10002

   Set is_devstack to True if running in devstack environment. --v2-config-file --> This takes the path of the neutron.conf in which core_plugin is defined as "core_plugin=core_plugin = neutron_plugin_contrail.plugins.opencontrail.contrail_plugin.NeutronPluginContrailCoreV2"

   --v3-config-file --> This takes the path of the neutron.conf in which core_plugin is defined as "core_plugin=core_plugin = neutron_plugin_contrail.plugins.opencontrail.contrail_plugin_v3.NeutronPluginContrailCoreV3"

6. Run vnc_perf_check.py as $python vnc_perf_client.py --server_ip <NEUTRON_SERVER_IP> --port <VNC_PERF_SERVER_PORT> --output_file

   Eg. python vnc_perf_client.py --server_ip 10.43.100.09 --port 10002 --output_file out_file
