#. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
- - **Intel Xeon Ice Lake**: Added initial test data for these
- platforms. Current CSIT-2106 report data for Intel Xeon Ice Lake
- comes from an external source (Intel labs running CSIT code on
- "8360Y D Stepping" and "6338N" processors). For details about the
- physical setup see :ref:`tested_physical_topologies`. Tested
- VPP and CSIT versions are pre-release, VPP
- 21.06-rc0~779-gd640ae52f.
-
- - **MLRsearch improvements**: Added support for multiple packet
- throughput rates in a single search, each rate is associated
- with a distinct Packet Loss Ratio (PLR) criterion. Previously
- only Non Drop Rate (NDR) (PLR=0) and single Partial Drop Rate
- (PDR) (PLR<0.5%) were supported. Implemented number of
- optimizations improving rate discovery efficiency.
-
- - **Reduction of tests**: Removed obsolete VPP use cases and
- superfluous test combinations from continuous and report test
- executions, including:
-
- - All vts tests, obsolete use cases.
- - dot1q tests apart from dot1q-l2bd, superfluous combinations.
- - -100flows, -100kflows in all acl tests.
- - nat44 tests
-
- - -pps tests, replaced by -tput tests.
- - h1-p1-s1 single session tests, unessential combination.
- - h4096-p63-s258048 tests, unessential scale combination.
-
- - ipsec tests
-
- - ethip4ipsectptlispgpe.
- - policy-aes128gcm.
- - policy-aes128cbc-hmac256sha.
- - policy-aes128cbc-hmac512sha.
- - int-aes128cbc-hmac256sha.
- - scale of
-
- - 400tnlsw.
- - 5000tnlsw.
- - 20000tnlsw.
- - 60000tnlsw.
+ - **Intel Xeon Ice Lake**: Performance test data for these platforms
+ continues to be provided by external Intel benchmarking labs
+ executing |csit-release| tests. For details about the physical
+ setup see :ref:`tested_physical_topologies`.
+
+ - **AWS EC2 c5n**: Performance test data for AWS c5n instances has
+ been added to report for ip4, ip6 and ipsec tests.
+
+ - **Reduction of tests**: Removed certain test variations executed
+ iteratively for the report (as well as in daily and weekly
+ trending) due to physical testbeds overload.
#. TEST FRAMEWORK
- **CSIT test environment** version has been updated to ver. 8, see
:ref:`test_environment_versioning`.
- - **CSIT in AWS environment**: Added CSIT support for AWS c5n
- instances environment.
+ - **CSIT in AWS environment**: Completed CSIT automation support for
+ AWS c5n instances environment, including weekly performance
+ trending tests execution.
- - **CSIT PAPI support**: Due to issues with PAPI performance, VAT is
- still used in CSIT for all VPP scale tests. See known issues
- below.
+ - **CSIT PAPI support**: Due to issues with PAPI performance, and
+ deprecation of VAT, CLI is used in CSIT for many VPP scale tests.
+ See known issues below.
- **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing code optimizations and bug
fixes.
