VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS - - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added higher density tests with dtc=0.5 - (2 NF each with 1 DT per physical core) with VPP as a VNF payload. + - **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. - - **Experimental Soak Tests**: Added performamce soak tests framework + - **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.

TEST FRAMEWORK - - **Qemu code refactor**: Complete code refactor of the key components + - **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 alongisde the previously used + 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.
