VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS - - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Network Function Virtualization (NFV) - service density tests focus on measuring total per server throughput at - varied NFV service *packing* densities with vswitch providing host - dataplane. The goal is to compare and contrast performance of a shared - vswitch for different network topologies and virtualization technologies, - and their impact on vswitch performance and efficiency in a range of NFV - service configurations. - - - **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.
