#. **Added VPP performance tests**\r
\r
- - **MRR tests** : New MRR tests measure the packet forwarding rate\r
+ - *MRR tests :* New MRR tests measure the packet forwarding rate\r
under the maximum load offered by traffic generator over a set\r
trial duration, regardless of packet loss. Maximum load for\r
specified Ethernet frame size is set to the bi-directional link\r
rate. MRR tests are used for continuous performance trending and\r
for comparison between releases.\r
\r
- - **Service Chaining with SRv6** : SRv6 (Segment Routing IPv6) proxy tests\r
+ - *Service Chaining with SRv6 :* SRv6 (Segment Routing IPv6) proxy tests\r
verifying performance of Endpoint to SR-unaware appliance via\r
masquerading (End.AM), dynamic proxy (End.AD) or static proxy (End.AS)\r
functions.\r

#. **Test Framework Optimizations**\r
\r
- - **Performance tests efficiency** : Qemu build/install\r
+ - *Performance tests efficiency :* Qemu build/install\r
optimizations, warmup phase handling, vpp restart handling.\r
Resulted in improved stability and reduced total execution time by\r
30% for single pkt size e.g. 64B/78B.\r
\r
- - **General code housekeeping** : ongoing RF keywords\r
+ - *General code housekeeping :* ongoing RF keywords\r
optimizations, removal of redundant RF keywords.\r

+Throughput Trending\r
+-------------------\r
+\r
+In addition to reporting throughput changes between VPP releases, CSIT provides\r
+continuous performance trending for VPP master branch:\r
+\r
+#. `VPP Performance Dashboard <https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/trending/introduction/index.html>`_\r
+- per VPP test case throughput trend, trend compliance and summary of detected\r
+anomalies.\r
+\r
+#. `Trending Methodology <https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/trending/methodology/index.html>`_\r
+- throughput test metrics, trend calculations and anomaly classification\r
+(progression, regression, outlier).\r
+\r
+#. `Trendline Graphs <https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/trending/trending/index.html>`_\r
+- per VPP build MRR throughput measurements against the trendline with anomaly\r
+highlights, with associated CSIT test jobs.\r
