#. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
- **Intel Xeon 2n-skx, 3n-skx testbeds**: VPP performance test data
- is not included in this report version. This is due to the lower
- performance and behaviour inconsistency of these systems
- following the upgrade of processor microcode packages (skx ucode
- 0x2000064), done as part of updating Ubuntu 18.04 LTS kernel
- version. Tested VPP and DPDK applications (L3fwd) are affected.
- Skx test data will be added in subsequent maintenance report
- version(s) once the issue is resolved. See
- :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
+ is now included in this report version. Due to substantial impact
+ of test environment changes (applied during the CSIT-2001
+ development cycle) on the performance of VPP software, a new
+ approach to performance comparison and progression/regression
+ root cause analysis (RCA) has been applied.
+
+ - CSIT test environment is now versioned, with ver. 1 associated
+ with CSIT rls1908 git branch as of 2019-08-21, and ver. 2
+ associated with CSIT rls2001 git branch as of 2020-03-27.
+
+ - To identify performance changes due to CSIT test environment
+ changes from ver. 1 to ver. 2, VPP v19.08.1 has been re-tested in
+ ver. 2 and compared against the past results obtained with
+ testing in ver. 1. Separate RCA1 analysis has been applied to
+ this part. See :ref:`vpp_compare_current_vs_previous_release` and
+ :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
+
+ - To identify performance changes due to VPP code changes from
+ v19.08.1 to v20.01.0, the latter has been tested in CSIT
+ environment ver. 2 and compared against the former tested in CSIT
+ environment ver. 1. Separate RCA2 analysis has been applied to
+ this part. See :ref:`vpp_compare_current_vs_previous_release` and
+ :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
- **Intel Xeon 2n-clx testbeds**: VPP performance test data is now
- included in this report, after resolving the issue of lower
- performance and behaviour inconsistency of these systems due to
- the Linux kernel driven upgrade of processor microcode packages
- to 0x500002c. The resolution is to use latest SuperMicro BIOS 3.2
- (for X11DPG-QT motherboards used) that upgrades processor
- microcode to 0x500002c, AND NOT kernel provided ucode package as
- it does put system into sub-optimal state. Subset of 2n-clx VPP
- tests are failing due to clx system behaviour change: i) all ip4
- tests with xxv710 and avf driver and ii) some cx556a rdma tests.
- See :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
+ included in this report. See :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
- **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added new NF density tests with
IPsec encryption between DUTs.
