Overview
========
+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.
