VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS - - **BMRR Throughput**: MRR (Maximum Receive Rate) test code has been - updated with a configurable burst MRR parameters: trial duration - and number of trials in a single burst. Enables a new Burst MRR - (BMRR for short) methodology for more precise performance - trending. See updated :ref:`performance_test_methodology` section - for more details. + - **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. - - **2n-skx tests**: Added performamce tests for 2n-skx (2-Node Xeon - Skylake) testbeds: focus on baseline and scale tests, including - VM vhost and Container memif tests. - - - **3n-skx tests**: Added performamce tests for 3n-skx (3-Node Xeon - Skylake) testbeds: VM vhost and Container memif tests. - - - **VXLAN Scale Tests**: Added performamce tests for VXLAN scale with - dot1q and VPP L2BD. - - - **AVF Driver Tests**: Added performamce tests for i40e AVF driver - on VPP, no DPDK required. - - - **QAT**: Fixed reoccuring issues with QAT crypto accelerator cards. - - - **VM Vhost Virtio Params Combinations**: Added performance tests - for VM vhost with different virtio parameters combinations: - indirect buffers, mergeable buffers. - - - **K8s/Ligato in Trending**: Added K8s/Ligato Container memif tests - to daily trending. - -#.

Manual trigger only. Not "marketed" to FD.io - community yet to avoid excessive LFN FD.io physical performance - testbed blocking. +#. TEST FRAMEWORK - - **Patch-on-Patch Infra**: Added capability to run performance tests - using CSIT gerrit patch code testing VPP gerrit patch code, i.e. - before any VPP and/or CSIT code is merged into git branch. + - **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**: Initial implementation of PAPI L1 KWs in - CSIT using VPP Python bindings. Required for migraing away from - VAT. Very few L1 KWs implemented ("show version", "show - interfaces"). + - **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. Master report - generated. 744 graphs(!) - - - - **Performance Trending**: Further improvements of continuous - performance trending, anomaly detection and analysis. + labels, descriptions, other informative decoration. #.
