- *L2patch tests* - Tests measure performance of L2patch, cross linking
RX and TX of two physical interfaces.
- - *2-node tests* - Baseline set of 2-node tests covering base ip4, ip4,
+ - *2-node tests* - Baseline set of 2-node tests covering base ip4, ip6,
l2patch, l2bd, l2xc.
- *Generated tests* - Simplified and unified test structure,
DPDK I/O mbufs. Tests are automatically tagged during execution indicating
configuration.
- - *Intel Skylake* - Topologies consisting of 2-node and 3-node using
- SuperMirco servers each equipped with two Intel Xeon Skylake Platinum
- processors.

#. **Presentation and Analytics Layer**
#. **Test Framework Optimizations**
- - *Performance tests efficiency* - Qemu build/install optimizations,
- warmup phase handling, vpp restart handling. Resulted in improved
- stability and reduced total execution time by 30% for single pkt
- size e.g. 64B/78B.
-
- *General code housekeeping* - ongoing RF keywords optimizations,
removal of redundant RF keywords.
