3. Introduction

Welcome to QTIP’s documentation !

QTIP is an OPNFV Project.

QTIP aims to benchmark OPNFV platforms through a “Bottom up” approach, testing bare-metal components first.

The overall problem this project tries to solve is the general characterization of an OPNFV platform. It will focus on general performance questions that are common to the platform itself, or applicable to multiple OPNFV use cases. QTIP will provide the capability to quantify a platform’s performance behavior in a standardized, rigorous, and open way, and a well-documented methodology to reproduce the results by anyone interested.

The chapter 02-methodology describes the methodology implemented by the QTIP Project for NFVI performance benchmarking. The chapter 03-list-of-testcases includes a list of available Yardstick test cases.

The QTIP framework is deployed in the Dell OPNFV community lab. It is infrastructure and application independent.
