trend compliance and detected anomalies, all on a per VPP test case
basis. Linked trendline graphs enable further drill-down into the
trendline compliance, sequence and nature of anomalies, as well as
-pointers to performance test builds/logs and VPP builds.

-Performance trending is currently based on the Maximum Receive Rate
-(MRR) tests. MRR tests measure the packet forwarding rate under the
-maximum load offered by traffic generator over a set trial duration,
-regardless of packet loss. See :ref:`trending_methodology` section for
-more detail including trend and anomaly calculations.

+Data samples are generated by the CSIT VPP (and DPDK) performance trending jobs
executed twice a day (target start: every 12 hrs, 02:00, 14:00 UTC). All
-trend and anomaly evaluation is based on a rolling window of <N=14> data
-samples, covering last 7 days.
+trend and anomaly evaluation is based on an algorithm which divides test runs
+into groups according to minimum description length principle.
+The trend value is the population average of the results within a group.
