1 IPSec Crypto HW: IP4 Routed-Forwarding
2 ======================================
4 Following sections include summary graphs of VPP Phy-to-Phy performance with
5 IPSec encryption used in combination with IPv4 routed-forwarding,
6 including NDR throughput (zero packet loss) and PDR throughput (<0.5%
7 packet loss). VPP IPSec encryption is accelerated using DPDK cryptodev
8 library driving Intel Quick Assist (QAT) crypto PCIe hardware cards.
9 Performance is reported for VPP running in multiple configurations of
10 VPP worker thread(s), a.k.a. VPP data plane thread(s), and their
11 physical CPU core(s) placement.
13 Results are generated by multiple executions of the same CSIT tests.
14 In order to display variation in measured throughput values, Box-and-
15 whisker plots are used to show their quartiles (Min, 1st quartile / 25th
16 percentile, 2nd quartile / 50th percentile / mean, 3rd quartile / 75th
17 percentile, Max). Outliers are plotted as individual points.
19 *Title of each graph* is a regex (regular expression) matching all
20 throughput test cases plotted on this graph, *X-axis labels* are indices
21 of individual test suites executed by csit-vpp-perf-1704-all jobs that
22 created result output files used as data sources for the graph, *Y-axis
23 labels* are measured Packets Per Second [pps] values, and the *Graph
24 legend* lists the plotted test suites and their indices.
28 Test results have been generated by FD.io test executor jobs
