- - **BMRR Throughput**: MRR (Maximum Receive Rate) test code has been
- updated with a configurable burst MRR parameters: trial duration
- and number of trials in a single burst. Enables a new Burst MRR
- (BMRR for short) methodology for more precise performance
- trending. See updated :ref:`performance_test_methodology` section
- for more details.

-#. TEST FRAMEWORK
+ - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
+ service density tests focus on measuring total per server throughput at
+ varied NFV service *packing* densities with vswitch providing host
+ dataplane. The goal is to compare and contrast performance of a shared
+ vswitch for different network topologies and virtualization technologies,
+ and their impact on vswitch performance and efficiency in a range of NFV
+ service configurations.
