SAI Challenger

SAI testing and integration framework that is based on SONiC sairedis project.

SAI Challenger can be executed in two modes:

1. standalone mode - both syncd and pytest are running in the same Docker container;
2. client-server mode - syncd and pytest are running in the separate Docker containers;

The standalone mode SHOULD be used in case of:

• running TCs on vslib SAI implementation;
• running TCs without traffic (without --traffic option) on HW;
• running TCs with/without traffic on ASIC simulator when it also runs inside the same Docker container as syncd;

The client-server mode MUST be used in case of:

• running TCs with traffic (with --traffic option) on HW;
• running TCs with traffic on ASIC simulator when it also runs inside the same Docker container as syncd but exposes ports outside the container;

The client-server mode CAN be used in all the cases defined for the standalone mode.
