Below are some considerations and questions, where "the present document" refers to TST009:
- The number of VMs in the setup is a parameter for Throughput, Latency and Delay Variation.
- The number of VMs in series on each parallel path through the DUT (PVVP means 2, see Figure 6.2-1 of the present document).
- The number of simultaneous L2/L3/L4 flows is a parameter of Throughput, Latency, and Delay Variation benchmark testing. This implies a fourth dimension. Good to clarify this in the present doc.
- All of the Test setups in clause 6.2 employ 2 physical NICs. Are there any single NIC or single vNIC VNFs envisioned (for “telco” deployment) that are critical/need to be tested immediately?
- For the VMs themselves, should the testing employ reference VNFs/VNF-Cs with specific workload profiles, as described in ETSI NFV TST001, Clause 6? Table 6.2 has VNF to workload mapping, See table 6.3 below:
