- - **Intel Xeon 2n-skx, 3n-skx and 2n-clx testbeds**: VPP performance
- test data is not included in this report version. This is due to
- the lower performance and behaviour inconsistency of these
- systems following the upgrade of processor microcode packages
- (skx ucode 0x2000064, clx ucode 0x500002c), done as part of
- updating Ubuntu 18.04 LTS kernel version. Tested VPP and DPDK
- applications (L3fwd) are affected. Skx and Clx test data will be
- added in subsequent maintenance report version(s) once the issue
- is resolved. See :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
-
- - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added new NF density tests with
- IPsec encryption between DUTs.
-
- - **AVF tests**: Full test coveraged based on code changes in CSIT
- core layer (driver/interface awareness) and generated by suite
- generator (Intel Fortville NICs only).
-
- - **Hoststack TCP/IP tests**: Major refactor of VPP Hoststack TCP/IP
- performance tests using WRK generator talking to the VPP HTTP
- static server plugin measuring connections per second and
- requests per second. Added iperf3 tests with LDPreload.
-
- - **Latency HDRHistogram**: Added High Dynamic Range Histogram
- latency measurements based on the new capability in TRex traffic
- generator. HDRH latency data presented in latency packet
- percentile graphs and in detailed results tables.
-
- - **Mellanox MCX556A-EDAT tests**: Added tests with Mellanox
- ConnectX5-2p100GE NICs in 2n-clx testbeds using VPP native rdma
- driver.
-
- - **IPsec reconfiguration tests**: Added tests measuring the impact
- of IPsec tunnels creations and removals.
-
- - **Load Balancer tests**: Added VPP performance tests for Maglev,
- L3DSR (Direct Server Return), Layer 4 Load Balancing NAT Mode.

- - **Intel Xeon 2n-skx, 3n-skx and 2n-clx testbeds**: VPP performance
- test data is included in this report version, but it shows lower
- performance and behaviour inconsistency of these systems
- following the upgrade of processor microcode packages (skx ucode
- 0x2000064, clx ucode 0x500002c) as part of updating Ubuntu 18.04
- LTS kernel version. Tested VPP and DPDK applications (L3fwd) are
- affected. Skx and Clx test data will be corrected in subsequent
- maintenance report version(s) once the issue is resolved. See
- :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
+ - **Added new performance testbed 3n-snr** (3 Node SnowRidge, with Intel
+ Atom processors).
+
+ - **Added GTPU HW offload tests** using VPP GTPU hardware offload
+ with Intel e810 4p25ge NICs (3n-icx testbeds only). These tests
+ were already there in CSIT-2206, but were yielding invalid
+ results due to using TRex v2.97 that was incompatible with e810
+ NICs used for those tests.
+
+ - **Added Wireguard tests** using VPP software crypto (3n-icx, 3n-snr
+ testbeds) and using built-in hardware crypto QAT device (3n-snr testbed
+ only).
+
+ - **Reduction of tests**: Removed certain test variations executed
+ iteratively for the report (as well as in daily and weekly
+ trending) due to physical testbeds overload.
