- - **Intel Xeon 2n-skx, 3n-skx and 2n-clx testbeds**: VPP test data is
- not included in this report version. This is due to performance
- and behaviour inconsistency following the upgrade to the latest
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS kernel version (4.15.0-72-generic) and
- associated microcode packages (skx ucode 0x2000064, clx ucode
- 0x500002c). 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.
