VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS - - **Experimental Soak Tests**: Added performamce soak tests framework + - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added higher NF density tests with two + NFs' data-plane threads sharing a physical core. VPP IPv4 routing is now + used as a VNF payload similar to CNF tests. + + - **Soak Tests**: Optimized 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 + days, weeks. See updated :ref:`test_methodology` section for more details. #. TEST FRAMEWORK - - **Container code optimizations**: Optimized container library allows to - run containre_memif tests faster. + - **Qemu code refactor**: Complete code refactor of the key components of + QemuUtil.py and QemuManager.py (L1 and L2 KW counterparts). Added + implementation of kernel-image-kvm based VM replacing the previously used + NestedVM images. Added ability to run VPP as a payload in VNF. - - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Continue converting existing VAT L1 keywords to - PAPI L1 KWs in CSIT using VPP Python bindings. Required for migrating away - from VAT. + - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Continued conversion of CSIT VAT L1 keywords to + PAPI L1 KWs in CSIT using VPP Python bindings. Redesign of key components + of PAPI Executor and PAPI history. - **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing RF keywords optimizations, removal of redundant RF keywords. + - **Test suite generator**: Added capability to generate suites for + different NIC models as well as throughput search algorithm types. Uses + base tests suites as source. + + - **TOX verification**: Added verifications for test suite generator. + #. PRESENTATION AND ANALYTICS LAYER - **Graphs Layout Improvements**: Improved performance graphs layout for better readibility and maintenance: test grouping, axis labels, descriptions, other informative decoration. -#. MISCELLANEOUS - - - **2n-dnv Tests (3rd Party)**: Published performance tests for 2n- - dnv (2-Node Atom Denverton) from 3rd party testbeds running FD.io - |csit-release| automated testing code. - Only graphs for Packet Throughput and Speedup Multi-core and not - for Packet Latency were published as there are no results for Packet - Latency available. - -.. note:: +.. + #. MISCELLANEOUS - The Report rls1901.1 was generated with only 1 run of performance tests, - ie. the data are not statistically significant. - The NFV tests were not run so this section has been removed from the - report. + - **2n-dnv Tests (3rd Party)**: Published performance tests for 2n- + dnv (2-Node Atom Denverton) from 3rd party testbeds running FD.io + |csit-release| automated testing code. + Only graphs for Packet Throughput and Speedup Multi-core and not + for Packet Latency were published as there are no results for Packet + Latency available. .. raw:: latex @@ -57,24 +63,24 @@ Known Issues List of known issues in |csit-release| for VPP performance tests: -+----+-----------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ -| # | JiraID | Issue Description | -+====+=========================================+=================================================================================================================================+ -| 1 | `CSIT-570 | Sporadic (1 in 200) NDR discovery test failures on x520.
