+ #. 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
- 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:`test_methodology` section for more details.

- **3n-dnv Tests (3rd Party)**: Published performance tests for 3n-
for Packet Latency were published as there are no results for Packet
Latency available.

+ |csit-release| report was generated with a single run of selected
+ 64B frame performance tests on 3n-skx test bed
+ in order to spot-check the main data plane paths.
+ NFV service density and soak tests were not run and do not feature in
+ this report.
