#. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
- - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
- service density tests focus on measuring total per server throughput at
- varied NFV service *packing* densities with vswitch providing host
- dataplane. The goal is to compare and contrast performance of a shared
- vswitch for different network topologies and virtualization technologies,
- and their impact on vswitch performance and efficiency in a range of NFV
- service configurations.
-
- - **Experimental Soak Tests**: Added performamce soak tests framework
+ - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added higher NF density tests with two
+ NFs' data-plane threads sharing a physical core. VPP IPv4 routing is now
+ used as a VNF payload similar to CNF tests.
+
+ - **Soak Tests**: Optimized performamce soak tests framework
code for extended time duration tests and throughput discovery
at given PLR and at give total test time e.g. minutes, hours,
- days, weeks, months, years. See updated
+ days, weeks. See updated
:ref:`test_methodology` section for more details.
#. TEST FRAMEWORK
- - **Container code optimizations**: Optimized container library allows to
- run containre_memif tests faster.
+ - **Qemu code refactor**: Complete code refactor of the key components of
+ QemuUtil.py and QemuManager.py (L1 and L2 KW counterparts). Added
+ implementation of kernel-image-kvm based VM replacing the previously used
+ NestedVM images. Added ability to run VPP as a payload in VNF.
- - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Continue converting existing VAT L1 keywords to
- PAPI L1 KWs in CSIT using VPP Python bindings. Required for migrating away
- from VAT.
+ - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Continued conversion of CSIT VAT L1 keywords to
+ PAPI L1 KWs in CSIT using VPP Python bindings. Redesign of key components
+ of PAPI Executor and PAPI history.
- **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing RF keywords optimizations,
removal of redundant RF keywords.
+ - **Test suite generator**: Added capability to generate suites for
+ different NIC models as well as throughput search algorithm types. Uses
+ base tests suites as source.
+
+ - **TOX verification**: Added verifications for test suite generator.
+
#. PRESENTATION AND ANALYTICS LAYER
- **Graphs Layout Improvements**: Improved performance graphs layout
for better readibility and maintenance: test grouping, axis
labels, descriptions, other informative decoration.
