#. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
- - **BMRR Throughput**: MRR (Maximum Receive Rate) test code has been
- updated with a configurable burst MRR parameters: trial duration
- and number of trials in a single burst. Enables a new Burst MRR
- (BMRR for short) methodology for more precise performance
- trending. See updated :ref:`performance_test_methodology` section
- for more details.
+ - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added higher NF density tests with
+ 802.1q (vlan) and 802.1ad (vxlan) encapsulation from Traffic Generator.
- - **2n-skx tests**: Added performamce tests for 2n-skx (2-Node Xeon
- Skylake) testbeds: focus on baseline and scale tests, including
- VM vhost and Container memif tests.
+ - **GBP tests**: Added GBP routing test cases with 802.1q (vlan) external
+ traffic.
- - **3n-skx tests**: Added performamce tests for 3n-skx (3-Node Xeon
- Skylake) testbeds: VM vhost and Container memif tests.
+ - **AVF IPv4 scale tests**: Increased coverage of AVF IPv4 base and scale
+ test cases.
- - **VXLAN Scale Tests**: Added performamce tests for VXLAN scale with
- dot1q and VPP L2BD.
+ - **2n-skx tests**: Increased coverage of selected (COP, iACL, Policer)
+ test cases.
- - **AVF Driver Tests**: Added performamce tests for i40e AVF driver
- on VPP, no DPDK required.
+ - **IPsec scale tests**: Added IPsec interface mode scale tests with
+ 1, 40, 400, 1000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 40000, 60000 tunnels. Removed DPDK
+ backend dependency.
- - **QAT**: Fixed reoccuring issues with QAT crypto accelerator cards.
-
- - **VM Vhost Virtio Params Combinations**: Added performance tests
- for VM vhost with different virtio parameters combinations:
- indirect buffers, mergeable buffers.
-
- - **K8s/Ligato in Trending**: Added K8s/Ligato Container memif tests
- to daily trending.
+ - **Hoststack TCP tests**: Added Hoststack TCP performance tests
+ using WRK to the HTTP static server plugin measuring connections
+ per second and requests per second.
#. TEST FRAMEWORK
- - **Experimental Soak Tests**: Added 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
- :ref:`performance_test_methodology` section for more details.
-
- - **Trending Tests BMRR**: Used new Burst MRR (BMRR) tests for daily
- trending.
-
- - **Per VPP Patch Performance Checks**: Per VPP gerrit patch vs.
- parent performance tests, anomaly detection and no verify voting
- (-1/0/+1) yet. Manual trigger only. Not "marketed" to FD.io
- community yet to avoid excessive LFN FD.io physical performance
- testbed blocking.
-
- - **Patch-on-Patch Infra**: Added capability to run performance tests
- using CSIT gerrit patch code testing VPP gerrit patch code, i.e.
- before any VPP and/or CSIT code is merged into git branch.
-
- - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Initial implementation of PAPI L1 KWs in
- CSIT using VPP Python bindings. Required for migraing away from
- VAT. Very few L1 KWs implemented ("show version", "show
- interfaces").
+ - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Finished 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. Currently the only exception is
+ usage of VAT command for scale configuration.
- **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing RF keywords optimizations,
- removal of redundant RF keywords.
+ removal of redundant RF keywords and aligning of suite/test
+ setup/teardowns.
+
#. PRESENTATION AND ANALYTICS LAYER
- **Graphs Layout Improvements**: Improved performance graphs layout
for better readibility and maintenance: test grouping, axis
- labels, descriptions, other informative decoration. Master report
- generated. 744 graphs(!)
-
-
- - **Performance Trending**: Further improvements of continuous
- performance trending, anomaly detection and analysis.
-
-#. MISCELLANEOUS
-
- - **3n-dnv Tests (3rd Party)**: Published performance tests for 3n-
- dnv (3-Node Atom Denverton) from 3rd party testbeds running FD.io
- |csit-release| automated testing code.
- Only graphs for Packet Throughput and Speedup Multi-core and not
- for Packet Latency were published as there are no results for Packet
- Latency available.
+ labels, descriptions, other informative decoration.
