-# Per-patch performance tests
+# Per-patch Testing
Updated for CSIT git commit id: 72b45cfe662107c8e1bb549df71ba51352a898ee.
Currently only one test type is supported by the performance comparison jobs:
"mrr".
-The nic_driver options depend on nic_model. For Intel cards "drv_avf" (AVF plugin)
-and "drv_vfio_pci" (DPDK plugin) are popular, for Mellanox "drv_rdma_core".
-Currently, the performance using "drv_af_xdp" is not reliable enough, so do not use it
-unless you are specifically testing for AF_XDP.

The most popular nic_model is "nic_intel-xxv710", but that is not available
on all testbed types.
-It is safe to use "1c" for cores (unless you are suspection multi-core performance
-is affected differently) and "64b" for frame size ("78b" for ip6

"1518b" is popular for ipsec and other payload-bound tests).
### Shortening triggers
-Advanced users may use the following tricks to avoid writing long trigger comments.

-Robot supports glob matching, which can be used to select multiple suite tags at once.

Not specifying one of 6 parts of the recommended expression pattern
will select all available options. For example not specifying nic_driver
