#. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
- - **AF_XDP**: Added af_xdp driver support for all test cases. Test
- results will be added in sub-sequent CSIT-2106 report.
-
- - **GTPU tunnel**: Added GTPU HW Offload IPv4 routing 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.
+ - **Enhanced and added VPP hoststack tests** to daily and weekly
+ trending including: Quic VPP Echo, UDP+TCP LD_PRELOAD iPerf3,
+ LD_PRELOAD NGINX.
-#. TEST FRAMEWORK
+ - **Added Nvidia/Mellanox DPDK tests** to daily and weekly trending
+ and report, in addition to RDMA_CORE ones that were already
+ there.
- - **Telemetry retouch**: Refactored telemetry retrieval from DUTs and
- SUTs. Included VPP perfmon plugin telemetry with all perfmon
- bundles available in VPP release.
+ - **Jumbo frames tests** got fixed and re-added number of to report
+ coverage tests.
- - **Upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS**: Re-installed base operating system
- to Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS. Upgrade included also baseline Docker
- containers used for spawning topology.
+ - **Intel Xeon SKX performance testbeds** got decommissioned and
+ removed from FD.io performance lab.
- - **CSIT test environment** version has been updated to ver. 7, see
- :ref:`test_environment_versioning`.
+#. TEST FRAMEWORK
- - **CSIT in AWS environment**: Added CSIT support for AWS c5n
- instances environment. Test results will be added in sub-sequent
- CSIT-2106 report.
+ - **CSIT test environment** version has not changed from ver. 11 used
+ in previous release, see :ref:`test_environment_versioning`.
- - **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 optimizations for scale** got applied improving PAPI
+ programming speed especially for large scale tests. VAT has been
+ now completely deprecated from CSIT.
- **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing code optimizations and bug
- fixes.
+ fixes.
#. PRESENTATION AND ANALYTICS LAYER
- - **Graphs improvements**: Updated Packet Latency graphs,
- see :ref:`latency_methodology`.

+| # | JiraID | Issue Description |
+====+=========================================+===========================================================================================================+
| 1 | `CSIT-1782 | Multicore AVF tests are failing when trying to create interface. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1782>`_ | |
+| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1782>`_ | Frequency is reduced by CSIT workaround, but occasional failures do still happen. |
++----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| 2 | `CSIT-1785 | NAT44ED tests failing to establish all TCP sessions. |
+| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1785>`_ | At least for max scale, in allotted time (limited by session 500s timeout) due to worse |
+| +-----------------------------------------+ slow path performance than previously measured and calibrated for. |
+| | `VPP-1972 | CSIT removed the max scale NAT tests to avoid this issue. |
+| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/VPP-1972>`_ | |
++----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| 3 | `CSIT-1799 | All NAT44-ED 16M sessions CPS scale tests fail while setting NAT44 address range. |
+| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1799>`_ | |
++----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| 4 | `CSIT-1800 | All Geneve L3 mode scale tests (1024 tunnels) are failing. |
+| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1800>`_ | |
++----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| 5 | `CSIT-1801 | 9000B payload frames not forwarded over tunnels due to violating supported Max Frame Size (VxLAN, LISP, |
+| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1801>`_ | SRv6). |
++----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| 6 | `CSIT-1802 | all testbeds: AF-XDP - NDR tests failing from time to time. |
+| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1802>`_ | |
++----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| 7 | `CSIT-1804 | All testbeds: NDR tests failing from time to time. |
+| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1804>`_ | |
+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 2 | `CSIT-1763 | Adapt ramp-up phase of nat44 tests for different frame sizes. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1763>`_ | Currently ramp-up phase rate and duration values are correctly set for tests with 64B frame size. |
+| 8 | `CSIT-1808 | All tests with 9000B payload frames not forwarded over memif interfaces. |
+| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1808>`_ | |
+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 3 | `CSIT-1671 | All CSIT scale tests can not use PAPI due to much slower performance compared to VAT/CLI (it takes much |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1671>`_ | longer to program VPP). This needs to be addressed on the PAPI side. |
-| +-----------------------------------------+ The usual PAPI library spends too much time parsing arguments, so even with async processing (hundreds of |
-| | `VPP-1763 | commands in flight over socket), the VPP configuration for large scale tests (millions of messages) takes |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/VPP-1763>`_ | too long. |
+| 9 | `CSIT-1827 | 3n-icx, 3n-skx: all AVF crypto tests sporadically fail. 1518B with no traffic, IMIX with excessive |
+| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1827>`_ | packet loss. |

-| 4 | `CSIT-1789 | AVF driver does not perform RSS in a deterministic way. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1789>`_ | This increases standard deviation of tests with small number of flows (mainly ipsec). |
+| 10 | `CSIT-1835 | 3n-icx: QUIC vppecho BPS tests failing on timeout when checking hoststack finished. |

Root Cause Analysis for Performance Changes
-------------------------------------------
List of RCAs in |csit-release| for VPP performance changes:
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| # | JiraID | Issue Description |
-+====+=========================================+===========================================================================================================+
-| 1 | `VPP-1972 | One VPP change has decreased performance of NAT44ed processing, both slow path and fast path. |

+| 1 | `CSIT-1887 | rls2210 RCA: ASTF tests |
+| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1887>`_ | TRex upgrade decreased TRex performance. NAT results not affected, |
+| | | except on Denverton due to interference from VPP-2010. |
++----+-----------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| 2 | `CSIT-1888 | rls2210 RCA: testbed differences, especially for ipsec |
+| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1888>`_ | Not caused by VPP code nor CSIT code. |
+| | | Most probable cause is clang-14 behavior. |

+| 3 | `CSIT-1889 | rls2210 RCA: policy-outbound-nocrypto |
+| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1889>`_ | When VPP added spd fast path matching (Gerrit 36097), |
+| | | it decreased MRR of the corresponding tests, at least on 3-alt. |
