Changes in |csit-release|
-------------------------
-#. **DPDK release version change**
+#. DPDK PERFORMANCE TESTS
- - |csit-release| tested DPDK-18.05, as used by |vpp-release|.
+ - Refactor of CSIT initialization helper scripts for DPDK testpmd
+ and l3fwd. Removing obsolete parameters from DPDK testpmd and l3fwd
+ command line.
-#. **DPDK performance tests**
+ - Fixed 9000B L2 packet size tests not passing for all NICs.
- - **MRR Throughput**: MRR (Maximum Receive Rate) test code has now
- configurable trial duration and number of consecutive executions.
- Coverage of MRR tests has been extended across more test
- scenarios. MRR tests are used for continuous performance trending.
+ - Fixed DPDK compilation and test initialization of Mellanox NICs using
+ CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MLX5_PMD=y in compile configuration.
- - **MLRsearch Throughput**: MLRsearch algorithm has been introduced
- for all NDR and PDR throughput tests. All tests that previously
- used binary search got converted to MLRsearch. Coverage of NDR/PDR
- tests has been extended across more test scenarios.
+#. DPDK RELEASE VERSION CHANGE
- - **2-Node Tests**: A new set of 2-node tests covering DPDK Testpmd
- and L3fwd, running on new Xeon Skylake testbeds.
+ - |csit-release| tested |dpdk-release|, as used by |vpp-release|.
- - **More NICs**: Increased coverage of NIC models tested: Intel-
- xxv710-da2, Intel-x710-da4.
-
- - **Generated tests**: Simplified and unified test structure, semi-
- autogenerated by generator script. Test generator is currently
- able to create test combinations with various frame size and
- cores combinations. All existing test cases were converted to new
- format.
-
-#. **Presentation and Analytics Layer**
-
- - **Performance trending**: Added continuous performance trending with
- anomaly detection and analysis for DPDK.
