Release Notes
=============
@@ -6,46 +8,46 @@ Changes in |csit-release|
#. 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.
+ - **Enhanced and added VPP hoststack tests** to daily and weekly
+ trending including: Quic VPP Echo, UDP+TCP LD_PRELOAD iPerf3,
+ LD_PRELOAD NGINX.
+
+ - **Added Nvidia/Mellanox DPDK tests** to daily and weekly trending
+ and report, in addition to RDMA_CORE ones that were already
+ there.
+
+ - **Jumbo frames tests** got fixed and re-added number of to report
+ coverage tests.
- - **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.
+ - **Intel Xeon SKX performance testbeds** got decommissioned and
+ removed from FD.io performance lab.
#. TEST FRAMEWORK
- - **Container code optimizations**: Optimized container library allows to
- run containre_memif tests faster.
+ - **CSIT test environment** version has not changed from ver. 11 used
+ in previous release, see :ref:`test_environment_versioning`.
- - **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 optimizations for scale** got applied improving PAPI
+ programming speed especially for large scale tests. VAT has been
+ now completely deprecated from CSIT.
- - **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing RF keywords optimizations,
- removal of redundant RF keywords.
+ - **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing code optimizations and bug
+ fixes.
#. PRESENTATION AND ANALYTICS LAYER
- - **Graphs Layout Improvements**: Improved performance graphs layout
- for better readibility and maintenance: test grouping, axis
- labels, descriptions, other informative decoration.
+ - `Performance dashboard `_ got updated with
+ addition of VPP telemetry trending across all VPP tests. A number
+ of code and AWS resource usage optimizations got applied to the
+ data processing pipeline and UI frontend and backend.
-#. MISCELLANEOUS
+ - Examples of release iterative data visualisation:
- - **3n-dnv Tests (3rd Party)**: Published performance tests for 3n-
- dnv (3-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.
+ - `Packet throughput 2n-icx-e810cq-ip4-base-scale-pdr `_
+ - `Speedup Multi-Core throughput graph for 2n-icx-e810cq-ip4-base-pdr `_
+ - `MRR, NDR and PDR comparison for 2n-icx-e810cq-ip4-base `_
+ - `Normalized throughput architecture comparison for 2n-[icx|clx]-e810cq-ip4-base-pdr `_
+ - `NICs comparison for 2n-icx-ip4-base-pdr `_

+Root Cause Analysis for Performance Changes
+-------------------------------------------
+
+List of RCAs in |csit-release| for VPP performance changes:
+
++----+-----------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| # | JiraID | Issue Description |
++====+=========================================+====================================================================+
+| 1 | `CSIT-1887 | rls2210 RCA: ASTF tests |
+| | `_ | TRex upgrade decreased TRex performance. NAT results not affected, |
+| | | except on Denverton due to interference from VPP-2010. |
++----+-----------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| 2 | `CSIT-1888 | rls2210 RCA: testbed differences, especially for ipsec |
+| | `_ | Not caused by VPP code nor CSIT code. |
+| | | Most probable cause is clang-14 behavior. |
++----+-----------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| 3 | `CSIT-1889 | rls2210 RCA: policy-outbound-nocrypto |
+| | `_ | When VPP added spd fast path matching (Gerrit 36097), |
+| | | it decreased MRR of the corresponding tests, at least on 3-alt. |
