4 Relative comparison of DPDK Testpmd and L3fwd packet throughput (NDR,
5 PDR and MRR) between |dpdk-release| and DPDK-18.02 (measured for
6 |csit-release| and |csit-release-1| respectively) is calculated from
7 results of tests running on 3-Node Intel Xeon Haswell testbeds (3n-hsw)
8 in 1-core and 2-core configurations.
9
10 Listed mean and standard deviation values are computed based on a series
11 of the same tests executed against respective DPDK releases to verify
12 test results repeatability, with percentage change calculated for mean
13 values.
