4 Current vs. Previous Release
5 ----------------------------

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 3-Node Intel Xeon Haswell testbeds (3n-hsw) in 1-core, 2-core
11 and 4-core (MRR only) configurations.
12
13 Listed mean and standard deviation values are computed based on a series
14 of the same tests executed against respective VPP releases to verify
15 test results repeatability, with percentage change calculated for mean
16 values. Note that the standard deviation is quite high for a small
17 number of packet throughput tests, what indicates poor test results
18 repeatability and makes the relative change of mean throughput value not
19 fully representative for these tests. The root causes behind poor
20 results repeatability vary between the test cases.
21
22 .. note::
23
24     Test results have been generated by
25     `FD.io test executor vpp performance job 3n-hsw`_,
26     with RF result
27     files csit-vpp-perf-|srelease|-\*.zip
