#. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
- - **AF_XDP**: Added af_xdp driver support for all test cases. Test
- results will be added in sub-sequent CSIT-2106 report.
-
- - **GTPU tunnel**: Added GTPU HW Offload IPv4 routing tests.
-
- - **Intel Xeon Ice Lake**: Added initial test data for these
- platforms. Current CSIT-2106 report data for Intel Xeon Ice Lake
- comes from an external source (Intel labs running CSIT code on
- "8360Y D Stepping" and "6338N" processors). For details about the
- physical setup see :ref:`tested_physical_topologies`. Tested
- VPP and CSIT versions are pre-release, VPP
- 21.06-rc0~779-gd640ae52f.
+ - **Intel Xeon Ice Lake**: Added test data for these platforms. Current
+ CSIT-2110 report data for Intel Xeon Ice Lake comes from an external source
+ (Intel labs running CSIT code on "8360Y D Stepping" and "6338N"
+ processors). For details about the physical setup see
+ :ref:`tested_physical_topologies`.
- **MLRsearch improvements**: Added support for multiple packet
throughput rates in a single search, each rate is associated
#. TEST FRAMEWORK
- - **Telemetry retouch**: Refactored telemetry retrieval from DUTs and
- SUTs. Included VPP perfmon plugin telemetry with all perfmon
- bundles available in VPP release.
-
- - **Upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS**: Re-installed base operating system
- to Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS. Upgrade included also baseline Docker
- containers used for spawning topology.
-
- - **TRex upgrade v2.86 to v2.88**: Included move to DPDK 21.02 and
- changed the way egress low latency queues are used in FVL NICs.
- This broke latency measurements for majority of FVL NICs in
- CSIT. Latency values look better after upgrading FVL FW on TRex
- servers, but still somewhat higher than before the TRex upgrade.
- Tracked by `CSIT-1790 <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1790>`_.
-
- - **CSIT test environment** version has been updated to ver. 7, see
+ - **CSIT test environment** version has been updated to ver. 8, see
:ref:`test_environment_versioning`.
- **CSIT in AWS environment**: Added CSIT support for AWS c5n
- instances environment. Test results will be added in sub-sequent
- CSIT-2106 report.
+ instances environment.
- **CSIT PAPI support**: Due to issues with PAPI performance, VAT is
still used in CSIT for all VPP scale tests. See known issues
below.
- **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing code optimizations and bug
- fixes.
