+VEB Switch and floating VEB Test Plan 
+=====================================
+
+VEB Switching Introduction
+==========================
+
+IEEE EVB tutorial: http://www.ieee802.org/802_tutorials/2009-11/evb-tutorial-draft-20091116_v09.pdf
+
+Virtual Ethernet Bridge (VEB) - This is an IEEE EVB term. A VEB is a VLAN Bridge internal to Fortville that bridges the traffic of multiple VSIs over an internal virtual network. 
+
+Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator (VEPA) - This is an IEEE EVB term. A VEPA multiplexes the traffic of one or more VSIs onto a single Fortville Ethernet port. The biggest difference between a VEB and a VEPA is that a VEB can switch packets internally between VSIs, whereas a VEPA cannot. 
+
+Virtual Station Interface (VSI) - This is an IEEE EVB term that defines the properties of a virtual machine's (or a physical machine's) connection to the network. Each downstream v-port on a Fortville VEB or VEPA defines a VSI. A standards-based definition of VSI properties enables network management tools to perform virtual machine migration and associated network re-configuration in a vendor-neutral manner.
+
+My understanding of VEB is that it's an in-NIC switch(MAC/VLAN), and it can support VF->VF, PF->VF, VF->PF packet forwarding according to the NIC internal switch. It's similar as Niantic's SRIOV switch.
+
+Floating VEB Introduction
+=========================
+
+Floating VEB is based on VEB Switching. It will address 2 problems:
+
+Dependency on PF: When the physical port is link down, the functionality of the VEB/VEPA will not work normally. Even only data forwarding between the VF is required, one PF port will be wasted to create the related VEB.
+
+Ensure all the traffic from VF can only forwarding within the VFs connect to the floating VEB, cannot forward to the outside world.
+
+Prerequisites for VEB testing
+=============================
+
+1. Get the pci device id of DUT, for example::
+
+    ./dpdk-devbind.py --st
+
+    0000:05:00.0 'Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+' if=ens785f0 drv=i40e unused=
+    
+2.1  Host PF in kernel driver. Create 2 VFs from 1 PF with kernel driver, and set the VF MAC address at PF::
+
+    echo 2 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:05\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
+    ./dpdk-devbind.py --st
+
+    0000:05:02.0 'XL710/X710 Virtual Function' unused=
+    0000:05:02.1 'XL710/X710 Virtual Function' unused=
+
+    ip link set ens785f0 vf 0 mac 00:11:22:33:44:11
+    ip link set ens785f0 vf 1 mac 00:11:22:33:44:12
+
+2.2  Host PF in DPDK driver. Create 2VFs from 1 PF with dpdk driver:: 
+    
+    ./dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 05:00.0 
+    echo 2 >/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:05:00.0/max_vfs
+    ./dpdk-devbind.py --st
+    0000:05:02.0 'XL710/X710 Virtual Function' unused=i40evf,igb_uio
+    0000:05:02.1 'XL710/X710 Virtual Function' unused=i40evf,igb_uio
+
+3. Bind the VFs to dpdk driver::
+
+    ./tools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 05:02.0 05:02.1
+
+4. Reserve huge pages memory(before using DPDK)::
+
+     echo 4096 > /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages 
+     mkdir /mnt/huge  
+     mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/huge    
+
+
+Test Case1: VEB Switching Inter VF-VF MAC switch
+===================================================
+
+Summary: Kernel PF, then create 2VFs. VFs running dpdk testpmd, send traffic to VF1, and set the packet's DEST MAC to VF2, check if VF2 can receive the packets. Check Inter          VF-VF MAC switch.
+ 
+Details::
+
+1. In VF1, run testpmd::
+
+   ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd -c 0x3 -n 4 --socket-mem 1024,1024 -w 05:02.0 --file-prefix=test1 -- -i --crc-strip --eth-peer=0,00:11:22:33:44:12
+   testpmd>set fwd mac
+   testpmd>set promisc all off
+   testpmd>start
+   
+   In VF2, run testpmd::
+
+   ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd -c 0xa -n 4 --socket-mem 1024,1024 -w 05:02.1 --file-prefix=test2 -- -i --crc-strip
+   testpmd>set fwd mac
+   testpmd>set promisc all off 
+   testpmd>start
+
+   
+2. Send 100 packets to VF1's MAC address, check if VF2 can get 100 packets. Check the packet content is no corrupted.
+
+Test Case2: VEB Switching Inter VF-VF MAC/VLAN switch
+========================================================
+
+Summary: Kernel PF, then create 2VFs, assign VF1 with VLAN=1 in, VF2 with VLAN=2. VFs are running dpdk testpmd, send traffic to VF1 with VLAN=1, then let it forwards to VF2,it should not work since they are not in the same VLAN; set VF2 with VLAN=1, then send traffic to VF1 with VLAN=1, and VF2 can receive the packets. Check inter VF MAC/VLAN switch.
+
+Details: 
+1. Set the VLAN id of VF1 and VF2:: 
+
+    ip link set ens785f0 vf 0 vlan 1
+    ip link set ens785f0 vf 1 vlan 2 
+
+2. In VF1, run testpmd::
+
+   ./testpmd -c 0xf -n 4 --socket-mem 1024,1024 -w 0000:05:02.0 --file-prefix=test1 -- -i --crc-strip --eth-peer=0,00:11:22:33:44:12
+   testpmd>set fwd mac
+   testpmd>set promisc all off
+   testpmd>start
+   
+   In VF2, run testpmd::
+
+   ./testpmd -c 0xf0 -n 4 --socket-mem 1024,1024 -w 0000:05:02.1 --file-prefix=test2 -- -i --crc-strip
+   testpmd>set fwd rxonly                         //need to set rxonly, or the Vf2 will count the fwd packet num
+   testpmd>set promisc all off
+   testpmd>start
+
+   
+4. Send 100 packets with VF1's MAC address and VLAN=1, check if VF2 can't get 100 packets since they are not in the same VLAN.
+ 
+5. Change the VLAN id of VF2::
+
+    ip link set ens785f0 vf 1 vlan 1
+
+6. Send 100 packets with VF1's MAC address and VLAN=1, check if VF2 can get 100 packets since they are in the same VLAN now. Check the packet content is not corrupted::
+
+    sendp([Ether(dst="00:11:22:33:44:11")/Dot1Q(vlan=1)/IP()/Raw('x'*40)],iface="ens785f1")
+
+
