Hi all,

We are doing some stress testing on OVN 2.7, and wanted to reproduce

results from the talk [1]. Looking at ovn-scale-test sources, I have two
questions:



Hi Valentine,

Thanks for picking this up.


- Do I get correctly that the benchmark always starts with the empty

northbound db. Then lswitches are added, then you add ports to each
lswitch?



Yes, the test result shown in the talk was started from empty to
gradually reach 20k lports on 200 lswitches.

- What is the batch size in port_create_args?


I remember it was 100. In addition, there were 5 jobs running in
parallel.
+Lei to confirm.

Could you recall how long (approximately) does it take to create and
bind 20K ports with these settings? This would be really helpful.


I don't have the raw data now, but it took around 1 - 2 hours.
We don't always run the full test, but after the full test is completed,
we can just run another task to create and bind 1k more lports to
evaluate the optimizations in each iteration on top of the existing scale.
Did you restart controllers or ovn-northd after running full tests before binding more ports. It would be interesting to learn how long does it take warm up IDL in controllers/northd in your setup.


One more thing, the graph shared also involved sandbox (simulated HV)
creation and lswitch creation. They were all created gradually during
the test run.
The flow was like:
1. create 50 sandboxes
2. (5 jobs in parallel) create 1 lswitch, create 100 lports, bind 100
lports, wait 100 lport up
3. if there are 100 sandboxes already on the BM, switch to another BM
4. goto step1, until it is done for all 20 BMs.

Moreover, in current ovs-scale-test code, the step "wait 100 lport up"
is updated utilizing a new feature (wait for HVs to catch up) that was
Are you referring to ovn-nbctl --wait-until, or something else? If you were not using it for the talk, what exactly does "create + bind" mean on the graph?

Many thanks again.

Valentine

added after the report, and we didn't run the test again yet with this
change. I would expect it impact the test result slightly negatively,
but it would more accurate.



In short: is it true that for the setup involving (say) 10000 ports

spanned over 100 lswitches in the aforementioned test, a Rally task
would look like this?
