1 Current vs. Previous Release
2 ----------------------------
3
4 Relative comparison of DPDK Testpmd and L3fwd packet throughput (NDR,
5 PDR and MRR) between |dpdk-release| and DPDK-18.02 (measured for |csit-
6 release| and |csit-release-1| respectively) is calculated from results
7 of tests running on 3-Node Intel Xeon Haswell testbeds (3n-hsw) in
8 1-core, 2-core and 4-core (MRR only) 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.
