5GTANGO VNF/NS Benchmarking Framework

This repository contains the tng-sdk-benchmark component that is part of the European H2020 project 5GTANGO NFV SDK. This component is responsible to automatically execute performance benchmarks of NFV network services and functions.

The seed code of this component is based on the son-cli toolbox, specifically the son-profile tool, which was developed as part of the European H2020 project SONATA.

Installation

Please follow this guide to install and setup tng-sdk-benchmark and a corresponding execution environment.

Usage

Run a benchmarking experiment

Before you can run your first benchmarking experiment, you need to install tng-bench and an execution platform following this guide.

tng-bench -p examples/peds/ped_suricata_tp_small.yml

Manually re-run the result processing

Runs the result processing module using existing results. This step is also automatically performed once at the end of an experiment execution.

# manually trigger result processing of generated results (to create *.csv files)
tng-bench-result -rd results/
