VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS - - - **Added new performance testbed 3n-snr** (3 Node SnowRidge, with Intel - Atom processors). - - - **Added GTPU HW offload tests** using VPP GTPU hardware offload - with Intel e810 4p25ge NICs (3n-icx testbeds only). These tests - were already there in CSIT-2206, but were yielding invalid - results due to using TRex v2.97 that was incompatible with e810 - NICs used for those tests. - - - **Added Wireguard tests** using VPP software crypto (3n-icx, 3n-snr - testbeds) and using built-in hardware crypto QAT device (3n-snr testbed - only). - - - **Reduction of tests**: Removed certain test variations executed - iteratively for the report (as well as in daily and weekly - trending) due to physical testbeds overload. - -#. TEST FRAMEWORK - - - CSIT-2210 executes all VPP v22.10 performance tests using vpp ubuntu2204 - images, due to CSIT execution environment change as noted below. This - applies to all performance testbeds except Denverton. Consequently, VPP - v22.06 has not been re-tested in CSIT-2210 environment, as no ubuntu204 - images are available for that VPP version. Performance comparison - between VPP v22.10 (current version) vs VPP v22.06 (previous version) - may be impacted by VPP build environment change (ubuntu2004 to ubuntu - 2204) change and CSIT environment change. See :ref:`vpp_rca` for - details. - - - **CSIT test environment** version has been updated to ver. 11, see - :ref:`test_environment_versioning`. - - - **TCP TPUT profiles** had to be changed, as newer TRex versions - are not deterministic enough when deciding when to send an ACK. - - - **CSIT PAPI support**: Due to issues with PAPI performance, and - deprecation of VAT, VPP CLI is used in CSIT for many VPP scale - tests. See :ref:`vpp_known_issues`. - - - **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing code optimizations and bug - fixes. - -#. PRESENTATION AND ANALYTICS LAYER - - - **C-Dash** `performance dashboard `_ got updated UI and - updated backend increasing its performance and robustness. - -.. raw:: latex - - \clearpage - -.. _vpp_known_issues: - -Known Issues ------------- - -New -___ - -+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ -| # | JiraID | Issue Description | -+====+=========================================+===========================================================================================================+ -| 1 | `CSIT-1864 | 2n-clx: half of the packets lost on PDR tests. | -| | `_ | | -+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ -| 2 | `CSIT-1868 | 2n-clx: ALL ldpreload-nginx tests fails when trying to start nginx. | -| | `_ | | -+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ -| 3 | `CSIT-1871 | 3n-snr: 25GE interface between SUT and TG/TRex goes down randomly. | -| | `_ | | -+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ -| 4 | `CSIT-1877 | 3n-alt, 3n-tsh: VM tests failing to boot VM. | -| | `_ | | -+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ -| 5 | `CSIT-1883 | 3n-snr: All hwasync wireguard tests failing when trying to verify device. | -| | `_ | | -+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ -| 6 | `CSIT-1884 | 2n-clx, 2n-icx: All NAT44DET NDR PDR IMIX over 1M sessions BIDIR tests failing to create enough sessions. | -| | `_ | | -+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ -| 7 | `CSIT-1885 | 3n-icx: 9000b ip4 ip6 l2 NDRPDR AVF tests are failing to forward traffic. | -| | `_ | | -+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ -| 8 | `CSIT-1886 | 3n-icx: Wireguard tests with 100 and more tunnels are failing PDR criteria. | -| | `_ | | -+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ - -Previous -________ - -Issues reported in previous releases which still affect the current results. - -+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ -| # | JiraID | Issue Description | -+====+=========================================+===========================================================================================================+ -| 1 | `CSIT-1671 | All CSIT scale tests can not use PAPI due to much slower performance compared to VAT/CLI (it takes much | -| | `_ | longer to program VPP).
