DPDK GRO lib test plan
======================
Generic Receive Offload (GRO) is a widely used SW-based offloading
technique to reduce per-packet processing overheads. By reassembling
small packets into larger ones, GRO enables applications to process
fewer large packets directly, thus reducing the number of packets to
be processed. To benefit DPDK-based applications, like Open vSwitch,
DPDK also provides own GRO implementation. In DPDK, GRO is implemented
as a standalone library. Applications explicitly use the GRO library to
reassemble packets.
In the GRO library, there are many GRO types which are defined by packet
types. One GRO type is in charge of process one kind of packets. For
example, TCP/IPv4 GRO processes TCP/IPv4 packets.
Each GRO type has a reassembly function, which defines own algorithm and
table structure to reassemble packets. We assign input packets to the
corresponding GRO functions by MBUF->packet_type.
The GRO library doesn't check if input packets have correct checksums and
doesn't re-calculate checksums for merged packets. The GRO library
assumes the packets are complete (i.e., MF==0 && frag_off==0), when IP
fragmentation is possible (i.e., DF==0). Additionally, it complies RFC
6864 to process the IPv4 ID field.
Currently, the GRO library provides GRO supports for TCP/IPv4 packets and
VxLAN packets which contain an outer IPv4 header and an inner TCP/IPv4
packet.
This test plan includes dpdk gro lib test with TCP/IPv4 traffic and VxLAN traffic,
also cover lightmode and heavymode test.
