6 .. _VPP_Packet_Throughput:
11 Throughput graphs are generated by multiple executions of the same
12 performance tests across physical testbeds hosted LF FD.io labs: 3n-hsw,
13 2n-skx, 2n-skx. Box-and-Whisker plots are used to display variations in
14 measured throughput values, without making any assumptions of the
15 underlying statistical distribution.
17 For each test case, Box-and-Whisker plots show the quartiles (Min, 1st
18 quartile / 25th percentile, 2nd quartile / 50th percentile / mean, 3rd
19 quartile / 75th percentile, Max) across collected data set. Outliers are
20 plotted as individual points.
22 Additional information about graph data:
24 #. **Graph Title**: describes tested packet path, testbed topology,
25 processor model, NIC model, packet size, number of cores and
26 threads used by data plane workers and indication of VPP DUT
29 #. **X-axis Labels**: indices of individual test suites as listed in
32 #. **Y-axis Labels**: measured Packets Per Second [pps] throughput
35 #. **Graph Legend**: lists X-axis indices with associated CSIT test
36 suites executed to generate graphed test results.
41 Test results have been generated by
42 `FD.io test executor vpp performance job 3n-hsw`_,
43 `FD.io test executor vpp performance job 3n-skx`_ and
44 `FD.io test executor vpp performance job 2n-skx`_ with RF
45 result files csit-vpp-perf-|srelease|-\*.zip

47 Required per test case data set size is **10**, but for VPP tests
48 the actual size varies per test case and is <=10.
