Changes in CSIT |release|\r
-------------------------\r
\r
-#. VPP performance test environment changes\r
+#. Added VPP performance tests\r
\r
- - Further optimizations of VM and vhost-user test environment - various\r
- Qemu virtio queue size testing with value of 256 and 1024. Applied\r
- Linux CFS optimization to run VPP worker threads and Qemu worker threads\r
- with highest priority.\r
+ - **Container Topologies Orchestrated by K8s with VPP memif tests**\r
\r
-#. VPP performance test framework changes\r
+ - Added tests with VPP in L2 Cross-Connect and Bridge-Domain\r
+ configurations containers, with service chain topologies orchestrated by\r
+ Kubernetes. Added following forwarding topologies: i) "Parallel" with\r
+ packets flowing from NIC via VPP to container and back to VPP and NIC;\r
+ ii) "Chained" a.k.a. "Snake" with packets flowing via VPP to container,\r
+ back to VPP, to next container, back to VPP and so on until the last\r
+ container in chain, then back to VPP and NIC; iii) "Horizontal" with\r
+ packets flowing via VPP to container, then via "horizontal" memif to\r
+ next container, and so on until the last container, then back to VPP and\r
+ NIC;.\r
\r
- - Full code review, optimization and refactor.\r
+ - **VPP TCP/IP stack**\r
\r
-#. T-rex changes\r
+ - Added tests for VPP TCP/IP stack using VPP built-in HTTP server.\r
+ WRK traffic generator is used as a client-side;\r
\r
- - Full refactor of T-rex driver and introduce of traffic profiles that\r
- improves readability, manageability of traffic profiles for various\r
- test scenarios.\r
+ - **SRv6 tests**\r
\r
-#. Added VPP performance tests\r
+ - Initial SRv6 (Segment Routing IPv6) tests verifying performance of\r
+ IPv6 and SRH (Segment Routing Header) encapsulation, decapsulation,\r
+ lookups and rewrites based on configured End and End.DX6 SRv6 egress\r
+ functions;\r
+\r
+ - **IPSecSW tests**\r
+\r
+ - SW computed IPSec encryption with AES-GCM, CBC-SHA1 ciphers, in\r
+ combination with IPv4 routed-forwarding;\r
\r
- - **LXC memif**\r
+#. Presentation and Analytics Layer\r
\r
- - Memif interface tests interconnecting two VPP instances on single SUT.\r
- Master VPP instance running on native OS with Intel x520 NIC and guest\r
- VPP instance running in Linux Container (LXC) doing the L2 cross\r
- connect loop. LXC running in privileged mode is pinned to dedicated\r
- cores. All VPP instances are same version.\r
+ - Added throughput speedup analysis for multi-core and multi-thread\r
+ VPP tests into Presentation and Analytics Layer (PAL) for automated\r
+ CSIT test results analysis;\r
\r
- - **Stateful Security Groups**\r
+#. Other improvements\r
\r
- - **VM vhost use cases**\r
+ - **Framework optimizations**\r
+\r
+ - Ability to run CSIT framework on ARM architecture;\r
+\r
+ - Overall stability improvements;\r

Performance Improvements\r
------------------------\r
\r
-Substantial improvements in measured packet throughput have been\r
-observed in a number of CSIT |release| tests listed below, with relative\r
-increase of double-digit percentage points. Relative improvements are\r
-calculated against the test results listed in CSIT |release-1| report.\r
-VPP-16.09 numbers are provided for reference.\r
+Substantial improvements in measured packet throughput have been observed in a\r
