Overview
========
-VPP performance test results are reported for all three physical testbed
-types present in FD.io labs: 3-Node Xeon Haswell (3n-hsw), 3-Node Xeon
-Skylake (3n-skx), 2-Node Xeon Skylake (2n-skx) and installed NIC models.
+VPP performance test results are reported for a range of processors.
For description of physical testbeds used for VPP performance tests
please refer to :ref:`tested_physical_topologies`.
- One-Way Packet Latency: measured at different offered packet loads:
- - 100% of discovered NDR throughput.
- - 100% of discovered PDR throughput.
+ - 90% of discovered PDR throughput.
+ - 50% of discovered PDR throughput.
+ - 10% of discovered PDR throughput.
+ - Minimal offered load.
- Maximum Receive Rate (MRR): measure packet forwarding rate under the
maximum load offered by traffic generator over a set trial duration,
regardless of packet loss. Maximum load for specified Ethernet frame
- size is set to the bi-directional link rate.
+ size is set to the bi-directional link rate, unless there is a known
+ limitation preventing Traffic Generator from achieving the line rate.
|csit-release| includes following VPP data plane functionality
performance tested across a range of NIC drivers and NIC models:
