#. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
- - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
- service density tests focus on measuring total per server throughput at
- varied NFV service *packing* densities with vswitch providing host
- dataplane. The goal is to compare and contrast performance of a shared
- vswitch for different network topologies and virtualization technologies,
- and their impact on vswitch performance and efficiency in a range of NFV
- service configurations.
-
- - **Experimental Soak Tests**: Added performamce soak tests framework
- code for extended time duration tests and throughput discovery
- at given PLR and at give total test time e.g. minutes, hours,
- days, weeks, months, years. See updated
- :ref:`test_methodology` section for more details.
+ - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added higher NF density tests with
+ 802.1q (vlan) and 802.1ad (vxlan) encapsulation from Traffic Generator.
-#. TEST FRAMEWORK
+ - **GBP tests**: Added GBP routing test cases with 802.1q (vlan) external
+ traffic.
+
+ - **AVF IPv4 scale tests**: Increased coverage of AVF IPv4 base and scale
+ test cases.
+
+ - **2n-skx tests**: Increased coverage of selected (COP, iACL, Policer)
+ test cases.
+
+ - **IPsec scale tests**: Added IPsec interface mode scale tests with
+ 1, 40, 400, 1000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 40000, 60000 tunnels. Removed DPDK
+ backend dependency.
- - **Container code optimizations**: Optimized container library allows to
- run containre_memif tests faster.
+#. TEST FRAMEWORK
- - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Continue converting existing VAT L1 keywords to
- PAPI L1 KWs in CSIT using VPP Python bindings. Required for migrating away
- from VAT.
+ - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Finished conversion of CSIT VAT L1 keywords to
+ PAPI L1 KWs in CSIT using VPP Python bindings. Redesign of key components
+ of PAPI Executor and PAPI history. Currently the only exception is
+ usage of VAT command for scale configuration.
- **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing RF keywords optimizations,
- removal of redundant RF keywords.
+ removal of redundant RF keywords and aligning of suite/test
+ setup/teardowns.

-#. MISCELLANEOUS
-
- - **2n-dnv Tests (3rd Party)**: Published performance tests for 2n-
- dnv (2-Node Atom Denverton) from 3rd party testbeds running FD.io
- |csit-release| automated testing code.
- Only graphs for Packet Throughput and Speedup Multi-core and not
- for Packet Latency were published as there are no results for Packet
- Latency available.
