VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS - - **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. + - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added higher NF density tests with + IPSec encencryption between DUTs. - - **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. See updated - :ref:`test_methodology` section for more details. + - **AVF tests**: Full test coveraged based on code changes in CSIT core + layer (driver/interface awareness) and generated by suite generator + (Fortville NICs only). + + - **Hoststack TCP/IP tests**: Major refactor of Hoststack TCP + performance tests using WRK generator talking to the VPP HTTP + static server plugin measuring connections per second and + requests per second. #. TEST FRAMEWORK - - **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 Python3 Support**: Full migration of CSIT from Python2.7 to + Python3.6. This change includes library migration, PIP dependency upgrade, + CSIT container images, infrastructure packages ugrade/installation. - - **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. + - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Finished conversion of CSIT VAT L1 keywords + to PAPI L1 KWs in CSIT using VPP Python bindings (VPP PAPI). + Redesign of key components of PAPI Socket Executor and PAPI + history. Due to issues with PAPI performance, VAT is still used + in CSIT for all VPP scale tests. See known issues below. - **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. + removal of redundant RF keywords and aligning of suite/test + setup/teardowns. - - **TOX verification**: Added verifications for test suite generator. #.
