OpenNetVM Version v19.02 is a major release which introduces several new features that require API changes to all NFs. Please read the release note for a detailed list of changes: ONVM Release v19.02.

A CloudLab template is available with the latest release here: https://www.cloudlab.us/p/GWCloudLab/onvm

Summary of release:

Major updates:

  • Manager Assigned NF Cores--The onvm_mgr will now handle NF core assignment. This adds a new argument to the onvm_mgr, the NF_CORE_MASK, in turn the NFs don't require a CORELIST argument to start. The default core assignment is 1 core per NF, which can be changed with new NF args.
  • Global Launch Script--Instead of maintaining a go.sh script for every NF we now have a global start_nf.sh script that can run any NF.
    • This changes the way we run example NFs
  • DPDK 18.11 Update--Updates DPDK version to DPDK18.11. Also updated Pktgen to v3.6.5
  • Web Stats Overhaul--Adds a new event logging system to webstats. Contains a complete rewrite of the web frontend.
  • Load Generator NF--Adds a NF that generates traffic with specified rate and size to measures tx and rx throughput (pps) and latency.
  • CI (Internal repo only)--Adds continuous integration to the internal repo. CI currently reports the linter output and the Speed Tester NF performance.
    • For now its internal, but will be added to the public repo once ready.

Minor improvements and bug fixes:

  • Fix how NF_STOPPED message is sent/processed. This fixes the double shutdown bug, the fast ctrl-c exit bug and the invalid arguments bug.
  • Add out of bounds checks for NF service ids.
  • Fix the Speed Tester NF to properly exit when passed an invalid MAC addr argument.

Testbed:

  • The aforementioned CloudLab template, and on a host with the following configuration:
* Tested on: Ubuntu 14.04.01 LTS, DPDK 18.11, GCC 4.8.4, Linux 3.13.0-117-generic
