#. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
- **Added new performance testbed 3n-snr** (3 Node SnowRidge, with Intel
- Atom processors), to later replace 3n-dnv and 2n-dnv (3 and 2 Node
- Denverton) testbeds.
+ Atom processors).
- - **Added GTPU HW offload tests** for Intel e810 4p25ge NICs on 2n-icx
- testbeds.
+ - **Added GTPU HW offload tests** using VPP GTPU hardware offload
+ with Intel e810 4p25ge NICs (3n-icx testbeds only). These tests
+ were already there in CSIT-2206, but were yielding invalid
+ results due to using TRex v2.97 that was incompatible with e810
+ NICs used for those tests.
+
+ - **Added Wireguard tests** using VPP software crypto (3n-icx, 3n-snr
+ testbeds) and using built-in hardware crypto QAT device (3n-snr testbed
+ only).
- **Reduction of tests**: Removed certain test variations executed
iteratively for the report (as well as in daily and weekly
#. TEST FRAMEWORK
+ - CSIT-2210 executes all VPP v22.10 performance tests using vpp ubuntu2204
+ images, due to CSIT execution environment change as noted below. This
+ applies to all performance testbeds except Denverton. Consequently, VPP
+ v22.06 has not been re-tested in CSIT-2210 environment, as no ubuntu204
+ images are available for that VPP version. Performance comparison
+ between VPP v22.10 (current version) vs VPP v22.06 (previous version)
+ may be impacted by VPP build environment change (ubuntu2004 to ubuntu
+ 2204) change and CSIT environment change. See :ref:`vpp_rca` for
+ details.
+
- **CSIT test environment** version has been updated to ver. 11, see
:ref:`test_environment_versioning`.
- - **TCP tput profiles** have to be changed, as newer TRex versions
+ - **TCP TPUT profiles** had to be changed, as newer TRex versions
are not deterministic enough when deciding when to send an ACK.
- **CSIT PAPI support**: Due to issues with PAPI performance, and
#. PRESENTATION AND ANALYTICS LAYER
- - **`C-Dash <http://csit.fd.io/>`** performance dashboard got updated UI and
+ - **C-Dash** `performance dashboard <http://csit.fd.io/>`_ got updated UI and
updated backend increasing its performance and robustness.
