1 Release notes for VPP 18.07
2 ===========================
4 More than 533 commits since the 18.04 release.
14 - Complete rework of the dpdk-input node
15 - Display rx/tx burst function name in “show hardware detail”
16 - Improve buffer alloc perfomance
18 - This is ~50% improvement in buffer alloc performance. For a 256
19 buffer allocation, it was ~10 clocks/buffer, now is < 5 clocks.
21 - Add per-numa page allocation info to ‘show memory’
22 - Vectorized bihash_{48,40,24,16}_8 key compare
26 - Scalar code: 6 clocks
27 - SSE4.2 code: 3 clocks
28 - AVX2 code: 2.27 clocks
29 - AVX512 code: 1.5 clocks
33 - Stats are now available to a client in a shared memory segment
34 and in the form of a directory, allowing very high performance
35 polling of stats without directly querying VPP.
42 - Enable/Disable an interface for IGMP
44 - refactor common code
46 - IGMP state changes in main thread only
47 - Large groups split over multiple state-change reports
48 - SSM range configuration API.
51 - IP: vectorized IP checksum
52 - VXLAN : HW offload RX flow
53 - Rework kube-proxy into LB plugin and add NATA66
58 - Multiple outside interfaces
59 - Endpoint dependent filtering and mapping
63 - Tuple Merge algorithm cleanup and integration
64 - Processing pipeline optimizations
67 - Experimental AVF driver
72 - Session: performance improvements, add support for connectionless
73 transports, datagram reception and transmission
74 - TCP: congestion control improvements and overall fixes
