   1 VM vhost Connections
   2 ====================

   4 Following sections include summary graphs of VPP Phy-to-VM(s)-to-Phy
   5 performance with VM virtio and VPP vhost-user virtual interfaces,
   6 including NDR throughput (zero packet loss) and PDR throughput (<0.5%
   7 packet loss). Performance is reported for VPP running in multiple
   8 configurations of VPP worker thread(s), a.k.a. VPP data plane thread(s),
   9 and their physical CPU core(s) placement.
  10
  11 Results are generated by multiple executions of the same CSIT
  12 performance tests across three physical testbeds within LF FD.io labs.
  13 To provide a descriptive summary view, Box-and-Whisker plots are used to
  14 display variation in measured throughput values, without making any
  15 assumptions of the underlying statistical distribution. For each plotted
  16 test case, Box-and-Whisker plots show the quartiles (Min, 1st quartile
  17 / 25th percentile, 2nd quartile / 50th percentile / mean, 3rd quartile /
  18 75th percentile, Max) across collected data set (data set size stated in
  19 the note below). Outliers are plotted as individual points.
  20
  21 *Title of each graph* is a regex (regular expression) matching all
  22 throughput test cases plotted on this graph, *X-axis labels* are indices
  23 of individual test suites executed by csit-vpp-perf-1704-all jobs that
  24 created result output files used as data sources for the graph, *Y-axis
  25 labels* are measured Packets Per Second [pps] values, and the *Graph
  26 legend* lists the plotted test suites and their indices.

  30     Test results have been generated by FD.io test executor jobs
