4 Changes in |csit-release|
5 -------------------------
7 #. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
9 - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added higher NF density tests with
10 802.1q (vlan) and 802.1ad (vxlan) encapsulation from Traffic Generator.
12 - **GBP tests**: Added GBP routing test cases with 802.1q (vlan) external
15 - **AVF IPv4 scale tests**: Increased coverage of AVF IPv4 base and scale
18 - **2n-skx tests**: Increased coverage of selected (COP, iACL, Policer)
21 - **IPsec scale tests**: Added IPsec interface mode scale tests with
22 1, 40, 400, 1000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 40000, 60000 tunnels. Removed DPDK
25 - **Hoststack TCP tests**: Added Hoststack TCP performance tests
26 using WRK to the HTTP static server plugin measuring connections
27 per second and requests per second.
29 - **Changed methodology of dot1q 2n tests**: dot1q encapsulation is now used
30 on both links of SUT. Previously dot1q was used only on a single link with
31 the other link carrying untagged Ethernet frames. This change results in
32 slightly lower throughput in CSIT-1908 for these tests.
36 - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Finished conversion of CSIT VAT L1 keywords to
37 PAPI L1 KWs in CSIT using VPP Python bindings. Redesign of key components
38 of PAPI Executor and PAPI history. Currently the only exception is
39 usage of VAT command for scale configuration.
41 - **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing RF keywords optimizations,
42 removal of redundant RF keywords and aligning of suite/test
46 #. PRESENTATION AND ANALYTICS LAYER
48 - **Graphs Layout Improvements**: Improved performance graphs layout
49 for better readibility and maintenance: test grouping, axis
50 labels, descriptions, other informative decoration.
