#. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
- - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added higher NF density tests with two
- NFs' data-plane threads sharing a physical core. VPP IPv4 routing is now
- used as a VNF payload similar to CNF tests.
+ - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added higher NF density tests with
+ IPSec encencryption between DUTs.
- - **Soak Tests**: Optimized 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. See updated
- :ref:`test_methodology` section for more details.
+ - **AVF tests**: Full test coveraged based on code changes in CSIT core
+ layer (driver/interface awareness) and generated by suite generator
+ (Fortville NICs only).
+
+ - **Hoststack TCP/IP tests**: Major refactor of Hoststack TCP
+ performance tests using WRK generator talking to the VPP HTTP
+ static server plugin measuring connections per second and
+ requests per second.
#. TEST FRAMEWORK
- - **Qemu code refactor**: Complete code refactor of the key components of
- QemuUtil.py and QemuManager.py (L1 and L2 KW counterparts). Added
- implementation of kernel-image-kvm based VM replacing the previously used
- NestedVM images. Added ability to run VPP as a payload in VNF.
+ - **CSIT Python3 Support**: Full migration of CSIT from Python2.7 to
+ Python3.6. This change includes library migration, PIP dependency upgrade,
+ CSIT container images, infrastructure packages ugrade/installation.
- - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Continued 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.
+ - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Finished conversion of CSIT VAT L1 keywords
+ to PAPI L1 KWs in CSIT using VPP Python bindings (VPP PAPI).
+ Redesign of key components of PAPI Socket Executor and PAPI
+ history. 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 RF keywords optimizations,
- removal of redundant RF keywords.
-
- - **Test suite generator**: Added capability to generate suites for
- different NIC models as well as throughput search algorithm types. Uses
- base tests suites as source.
+ removal of redundant RF keywords and aligning of suite/test
+ setup/teardowns.
- - **TOX verification**: Added verifications for test suite generator.

- #. 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.
