VNF Service Chains
==================
-.. important::
-
- **DISCLAIMER**: Presented test results should be taken with a pinch of
- salt as they may not represent correctly the system behaviour due
- to experimental nature of used test methodology (see :ref:`reconf_tests`).
-
In each test, a single service chain is added, the re-configuration
contains all the steps the initial chains got, except the last step
(starting VMs) is skipped.
#. **Graph Title**: describes tested VPP packet path. Format:
- - wire encapsulation ``dot1qip4vlxan``,
- - VPP forwarding mode ``l2bd``,
- - total number {Y} of service chains ``{Y}ch``,
- - total number of chains being reconfigured ``1ach``,
- - total number of vhost-user interfaces forwarding packets on VPP with {Y}
- chains and {X} VMs per chain ``{2XY}vh`` (2 interfaces per {X} VMs per {Y}
- chains),
- total number {XY} of VNF VMs forwarding packets ``{XY}vm`` and finally
- - VNF workload in VM ``testpmd``.
