[Snappi]- Support of IMIX profile on MACSEC enabled ingress and egress.

amitpawar12 commented 3 months ago

Issue Description

Following is the test topology:

IXIA acting as ingress and egress - Static MACSEC + MKA endpoint.
Configured 5 streams of traffic - Priority 3 and 4 as lossless traffic streams and Priority 0, 1 and 2 as lossy background traffic.
Ability to choose the Custom IMIX traffic profile.
Start the test.

IXIA does not allow usage of custom IMIX profile and errors out with message - 'only fixed frame-size supported'

Results you see

Custom IMIX profile is not allowed.

Results you expected to see

There should be capability on IXIA to allow and send IMIX profile packets over MACSEC.

Is it platform specific

generic

@abdosi , @vmittal-msft , Shawn,

Please do not close this issue. We can use this issue to track support of IMIX packet-profile over normal(non-MACSEC) lossless and lossy traffic streams using Snappi.

Currently, I am using RestPY to do the same.

Thanks, -A

IMIX is not supported on SW MACSEC. It is supported in HW MACSEC. For normal traffic, workaround is to use restpy for configuring IMIX traffic profiles. Support will be added for configuring IMIX profiles in later releases of snappi.
