> +PVP reference benchmark setup using testpmd
> +===========================================
> +
> +This guide lists the steps required to setup a PVP benchmark using
> +testpmd as a simple forwarder between NICs and Vhost interfaces. The
> +goal of this setup is to have a reference PVP benchmark without using
> +external vSwitches (OVS, VPP, ...) to make it easier to obtain
> +reproducible results and to facilitate continuous integration testing.
> +
> +The guide covers two ways of launching the VM, either by directly
> +calling the QEMU command line, or by relying on libvirt. It has been
> +tested with DPDK
> +v16.11 using RHEL7 for both host and guest.
> +
> +
> +Setup overview
> +--------------

> +.. _figure_pvp_2nics:
> +
> +.. figure:: img/pvp_2nics.*
> +
> + PVP setup using 2 NICs
> +
> +In this diagram, each red arrow represents one logical core. This
> +use-case requires 6 dedicated logical cores. A forwarding configuration
> +with a single NIC is also possible, requiring 3 logical cores.
> +
> +
> +Host setup
> +----------
> +
> +In this setup, we isolate 6 cores (from CPU2 to CPU7) on the same NUMA
> +node. Two cores are assigned to the VM vCPUs running testpmd and four
> +are assigned to testpmd on the host.

> +It can be used as follows, for example to pin 3 vCPUs to CPUs 1, 6 and

> + .. code-block:: console
> +
> + export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:<QEMU path>/scripts/qmp
> + ./qmp-vcpu-pin -s /tmp/qmp.socket 1 6 7
> +
> +#. Libvirt way:
> +
> +Some initial steps are required for libvirt to be able to connect to
> +testpmd's sockets.
> +
> +First, SELinux policy needs to be set to permissive, since testpmd is
> +generally run as root (note, as reboot is required):
> +
> + .. code-block:: console
> +
> + cat /etc/selinux/config
> +
> + # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
> + # SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
> + # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
> + # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
> + # disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
> + SELINUX=permissive
> +
> + # SELINUXTYPE= can take one of three two values:
> + # targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
> + # minimum - Modification of targeted policy.
> + # Only selected processes are protected.
> + # mls - Multi Level Security protection.
> + SELINUXTYPE=targeted
> +
> +
> +Also, Qemu needs to be run as root, which has to be specified in
> +``/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf``:
> +
> + .. code-block:: console
> +
> + user = "root"
