 #. **Added VPP performance tests**

 

-   - **MRR tests** : New MRR tests measure the packet forwarding rate

+   - *MRR tests :* New MRR tests measure the packet forwarding rate

        under the maximum load offered by traffic generator over a set

        trial duration, regardless of packet loss. Maximum load for

        specified Ethernet frame size is set to the bi-directional link

        rate. MRR tests are used for continuous performance trending and

        for comparison between releases.

        verifying performance of Endpoint to SR-unaware appliance via

        masquerading (End.AM), dynamic proxy (End.AD) or static proxy (End.AS)

        functions.

+Throughput Trending

+-------------------

+

+In addition to reporting throughput changes between VPP releases, CSIT provides

+continuous performance trending for VPP master branch:

+

+#. `VPP Performance Dashboard <https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/trending/introduction/index.html>`_

+- per VPP test case throughput trend, trend compliance and summary of detected

+anomalies.

+

+#. `Trending Methodology <https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/trending/methodology/index.html>`_

+- throughput test metrics, trend calculations and anomaly classification

+(progression, regression, outlier).

+

+#. `Trendline Graphs <https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/trending/trending/index.html>`_

+- per VPP build MRR throughput measurements against the trendline with anomaly

+highlights, with associated CSIT test jobs.
