- - **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

+#. **Presentation and Analytics Layer**\r
\r
- - Added continuous performance measuring, trending and anomaly\r
- detection. Includes new PAL code and Jenkins jobs for Performance\r
- Trending (PT) and Performance Analysis (PA) producing performance\r
- trending dashboard and trendline graphs with summary and drill-\r
- down views across all specified tests that can be reviewed and\r
- inspected regularly by FD.io developers and users community.\r
+ - *Performance trending* - Added continuous performance trending and\r
+ analysis. New Performance Trending and Performance Analysis jobs\r
+ executed regular throughput tests, with results being subsequently\r
+ analysed and trend and anomalies summarized and presented in VPP\r
+ Performance Dashboard and trendline graphs.\r

#. **Test Framework Optimizations**\r
\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

+Throughput Trending\r
+-------------------\r
+\r
+In addition to reporting throughput changes between VPP releases, CSIT\r
+provides 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\r
+ detected anomalies.\r
+\r
+#. `Trending Methodology <https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/trending/methodology/index.html>`_\r
+ - throughput test metrics, trend calculations and anomaly\r
+ classification (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\r
+ with anomaly highlights, with associated CSIT test jobs.\r
