4 Current vs. Previous Release
5 ----------------------------
6
7 Relative comparison of VPP packet throughput (NDR, PDR and MRR) between
8 |vpp-release| and |vpp-release-1| (measured for |csit-release| and
9 |csit-release-1| respectively) is calculated from results of tests
10 running on 2-node Intel Xeon Skylake (2n-skx), 3-node Intel Xeon Skylake
11 (3n-skx), 3-Node Intel Xeon Haswell (3n-hsw), 2-node Intel Atom Denverton
12 (2n-dnv), 3-node Intel Atom Denverton (3n-dnv), 3-node Arm TaiShan (3n-tsh)
13 testbeds, in 1-core, 2-core and 4-core (MRR only) configurations.
14
15 Listed mean and standard deviation values are computed based on a series
16 of the same tests executed against respective VPP releases to verify
17 test results repeatability, with percentage change calculated for mean
18 values. Note that the standard deviation is quite high for a small
19 number of packet throughput tests, what indicates poor test results
20 repeatability and makes the relative change of mean throughput value not
21 fully representative for these tests. The root causes behind poor
22 results repeatability vary between the test cases.
