Does kvm-autotest have networking tests?
Yes and no...kvm autotest is able to run standard autotest tests - http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/KVM-Autotest/Tests#autotest autotest itself support various tests, netperf2 is one of them. So with a little effort it is doable.
We'll try to make it easy as possible to run these tests. Here's a list of some autotest tests:aborttest dacapo error_test_na iperf lsb_dtk profiler_test stress aio_dio_bugs dbench fio ipv6connect ltp reaim sysbench aiostress dbt2 fsdev isic memory_api real_time_tests tbench barriertest disktest fsfuzzer kernbench monotonic_time rmaptest tiobench bash_shared_mapping error_cleanup fs_mark kernelbuild netperf2 rttester tsc bonnie error_initialize fsstress kvm_runtest_2 netpipe scrashme unixbench btreplay error_setup fsx kvm_runtest_old parallel_dd selftest uptime compilebench error_skip_step hackbench kvmtest perfmon signaltest xmtest cpu_hotplug error_test_bug interbench libhugetlbfs pi_tests sleeptest cpuset_tasks error_test_error iosched_bugs linus_stress pktgen sparse cyclictest error_test_fail iozone lmbench posixtest spew
I know there's some concern about the time it takes for patches to get applied. IMHO, the best way to improve that it to get a stronger set of functional tests. I have a set I've been working on but it's on my other laptop which I cannot reach ATM :-/ As has been discussed before, I'm looking for finer grain functionaltests than the installation tests that kvm-autotest is providing now. I'm not saying that this series requires submitting a test suite first,but rather that if you're interested in seeing networking advance more rapidly, a good investment would be to build out a better test infrastructure for it.
