-# GENEVE
+# Tunnel Encapsulations
-## GENEVE Prefix Bindings
+Tunnel encapsulations testing is grouped based on the type of outer
+header: IPv4 or IPv6.
+
+## IPv4 Tunnels
+
+VPP is tested in the following IPv4 tunnel baseline configurations:
+
+- *ip4vxlan-l2bdbase*: VXLAN over IPv4 tunnels with L2 bridge-domain MAC
+ switching.
+- *ip4vxlan-l2xcbase*: VXLAN over IPv4 tunnels with L2 cross-connect.
+- *ip4lispip4-ip4base*: LISP over IPv4 tunnels with IPv4 routing.
+- *ip4lispip6-ip6base*: LISP over IPv4 tunnels with IPv6 routing.
+- *ip4gtpusw-ip4base*: GTPU over IPv4 tunnels with IPv4 routing.
+
+In all cases listed above low number of MAC, IPv4, IPv6 flows (253 or 254 per
+direction) is switched or routed by VPP.
+
+In addition selected IPv4 tunnels are tested at scale:
+
+- *dot1q--ip4vxlanscale-l2bd*: VXLAN over IPv4 tunnels with L2 bridge-
+ domain MAC switching, with scaled up dot1q VLANs (10, 100, 1k),
+ mapped to scaled up L2 bridge-domains (10, 100, 1k), that are in turn
+ mapped to (10, 100, 1k) VXLAN tunnels. 64.5k flows are transmitted per
+ direction.
+
+## IPv6 Tunnels
+
+VPP is tested in the following IPv6 tunnel baseline configurations:
+
+- *ip6lispip4-ip4base*: LISP over IPv4 tunnels with IPv4 routing.
+- *ip6lispip6-ip6base*: LISP over IPv4 tunnels with IPv6 routing.
+
+In all cases listed above low number of IPv4, IPv6 flows (253 or 254 per
+direction) is routed by VPP.
+
+## GENEVE
+
+### GENEVE Prefix Bindings
GENEVE prefix bindings should be representative to target applications, where
a packet flows of particular set of IPv4 addresses (L3 underlay network) is
Private address ranges to be used in tests:
- East hosts ip address range: 10.0.1.0 - 10.127.255.255 (10.0/9 prefix)
-
- Total of 2^23 - 256 (8 388 352) of usable IPv4 addresses
- Usable in tests for up to 32 767 GENEVE tunnels (IPv4 underlay networks)
-
- West hosts ip address range: 10.128.1.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10.128/9 prefix)
-
- Total of 2^23 - 256 (8 388 352) of usable IPv4 addresses
- Usable in tests for up to 32 767 GENEVE tunnels (IPv4 underlay networks)
-## GENEVE Tunnel Scale
+### GENEVE Tunnel Scale
If N is a number of GENEVE tunnels (and IPv4 underlay networks) then TG sends
256 packet flows in every of N different sets:
- i = 1,2,3, ... N - GENEVE tunnel index
-
- East-West direction: GENEVE encapsulated packets
-
- Outer IP header:
-
- src ip: 1.1.1.1
-
- dst ip: 1.1.1.2
-
- GENEVE header:
-
- vni: i
-
- Inner IP header:
-
- src_ip_range(i) = 10.(0 + rounddown(i/255)).(modulo(i/255)).(0-to-255)
-
- dst_ip_range(i) = 10.(128 + rounddown(i/255)).(modulo(i/255)).(0-to-255)
-
- West-East direction: non-encapsulated packets
-
- IP header:
-
- src_ip_range(i) = 10.(128 + rounddown(i/255)).(modulo(i/255)).(0-to-255)
-
- dst_ip_range(i) = 10.(0 + rounddown(i/255)).(modulo(i/255)).(0-to-255)
