+Brief overview of test scenarios covered in this report:
#. **VPP Performance**: VPP performance tests are executed in physical
FD.io testbeds, focusing on VPP network data plane performance in
run across a range of configurations. TRex is used as a traffic
generator.
-#. **K8s Container/Pod Topologies Performance**: VPP container
- performance tests using memif for interconnecting VPP-in-
- Container/Pod instances orchestrated by K8s integrated with `Ligato
- <https://github.com/ligato>`_ for container networking. TRex is
- used as a traffic generator.
-
#. **DPDK Performance**: VPP uses DPDK to drive the NICs and physical
interfaces. DPDK performance tests are used as a baseline to
profile performance of the DPDK sub-system. Two DPDK applications
programming functionality of VPP. Tests cover a range of CRUD
operations executed against VPP.
-#. **NSH_SFC Functional**: NSH_SFC functional tests are executed in
- virtual FD.io testbeds focusing on VPP nsh-plugin data plane
- functionality. Scapy is used as a traffic generator.
-
#. **DMM Functional**: DMM functional tests are executed in virtual
FD.io testbeds demonstrating a single server (DUT1) and single
client (DUT2) scenario using DMM framework and Linux kernel TCP/IP
stack.
