-\r
-Changes in CSIT |release|\r
--------------------------\r
-\r
-#. Added VPP performance tests\r
-\r
- - **Container Topologies Orchestrated by K8s with VPP memif tests**\r
-\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
- - **VPP TCP/IP stack**\r
-\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
- - **SRv6 tests**\r
-\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
-#. Presentation and Analytics Layer\r
-\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
-#. Other improvements\r
-\r
- - **Framework optimizations**\r
-\r
- - Ability to run CSIT framework on ARM architecture;\r
-\r
- - Overall stability improvements;\r
-\r
-Performance Changes\r
--------------------\r
-\r
-Substantial changes in measured packet throughput have been observed in a\r
-number of CSIT |release| tests listed below. Relative changes for this release\r
-are calculated against the test results listed in CSIT |release-1| report. The\r
-comparison is calculated between the mean values based on collected and\r
-archived test results' samples for involved VPP releases. Standard deviation\r
-has been also listed for CSIT |release|.\r

-| # | Issue | Jira ID | Description |\r
-+---+-------------------------------------------------+------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+\r
-| 1 | Vic1385 and Vic1227 low performance. | VPP-664 | Low NDR performance. |\r
-| | | | |\r
-+---+-------------------------------------------------+------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+\r
-| 2 | Sporadic NDR discovery test failures on x520. | CSIT-750 | Suspected issue with HW combination of X710-X520 in LF |\r
-| | | | infrastructure. Issue can't be replicated outside LF. |\r
-+---+-------------------------------------------------+------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+\r
-| 3 | VPP in 2t2c setups - large variation | CSIT-568 | Suspected NIC firmware or DPDK driver issue affecting NDR |\r
-| | of discovered NDR throughput values across | | throughput. Applies to XL710 and X710 NICs, x520 NICs are fine. |\r
-| | multiple test runs with xl710 and x710 NICs. | | |\r
-+---+-------------------------------------------------+------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+\r
-| 4 | Lower than expected NDR throughput with | CSIT-569 | Suspected NIC firmware or DPDK driver issue affecting NDR and |\r
-| | xl710 and x710 NICs, compared to x520 NICs. | | PDR throughput. Applies to XL710 and X710 NICs. |\r
