Packet Throughput
=================
-Plotted results are generated by multiple executions of the same CSIT
-performance tests across three physical testbeds within LF FD.io labs.
-To provide a descriptive summary view, Box-and-Whisker plots are used to
-display variation in measured throughput values, without making any
-assumptions of the underlying statistical distribution.
-
-For each plotted test case, Box-and-Whisker plots show the quartiles
-(Min, 1st quartile / 25th percentile, 2nd quartile / 50th percentile /
-mean, 3rd quartile / 75th percentile, Max) across collected data set
-(data set size stated in the note below). Outliers are plotted as
-individual points. Min and max values are plotted as bottom and top
-Whiskers respectively. 2nd and 3rd quartiles are plotted as bottom and
-top edge of the box. If multiple samples match only two values, and all
-samples fall between them, then no whiskers are plotted. If all samples
-have the same value, only a horizontal line is plotted.
-
-*Title of each graph* describes the packet path, testbed topology, processor
-architecture, packet size, number of cores and threads used by workers and
-DUT configuration, *X-axis labels* are indices of individual test suites
-executed by FD.io test executor vpp performance jobs that created result output
-files used as data sources for the graph, *Y-axis labels* are measured Packets
-Per Second [pps] values, and the *Graph legend* lists the plotted test suites
-and their indices.
+Throughput graphs are generated by multiple executions of the same
+performance tests across physical testbeds hosted LF FD.io labs: 3n-hsw,
+2n-skx, 2n-skx. Box-and-Whisker plots are used to display variations in
+measured throughput values, without making any assumptions of the
+underlying statistical distribution.
+
+For each test case, Box-and-Whisker plots show the quartiles (Min, 1st
+quartile / 25th percentile, 2nd quartile / 50th percentile / mean, 3rd
+quartile / 75th percentile, Max) across collected data set. Outliers are
+plotted as individual points.
+
+Additional information about graph data:
+
+#. **Graph Title**: describes tested packet path, testbed topology,
+ processor model, NIC model, packet size, number of cores and
+ threads used by data plane workers and indication of VPP DUT
+ configuration.
+
+#. **X-axis Labels**: indices of individual test suites as listed in
+ Graph Legend.
+#. **Y-axis Labels**: measured Packets Per Second [pps] throughput
+ values.
+
+#. **Graph Legend**: lists X-axis indices with associated CSIT test
+ suites executed to generate graphed test results.
+
+#. **Hover Information**: lists minimum, first quartile, median,
+ third quartile, and maximum. If either type of outlier is present the
+ whisker on the appropriate side is taken to 1.5×IQR from the quartile
+ (the "inner fence") rather than the max or min, and individual outlying
+ data points are displayed as unfilled circles (for suspected outliers)
+ or filled circles (for outliers). (The "outer fence" is 3×IQR from the
+ quartile.)
.. note::
Test results have been generated by
`FD.io test executor vpp performance job 3n-hsw`_,
`FD.io test executor vpp performance job 3n-skx`_ and
- `FD.io test executor vpp performance job 2n-skx`_ with Robot Framework
+ `FD.io test executor vpp performance job 2n-skx`_ with RF
result files csit-vpp-perf-|srelease|-\*.zip
`archived here <../../_static/archive/>`_.
- Plotted data set size per test case is equal to the number of job executions
- presented in this report version: **10**.
+ Required per test case data set size is **10**, but for VPP tests
+ the actual size varies per test case and is <=10.
