In addition it also -covers baseline tests of DPDK sample applications. Tests are executed in -physical (performance tests) and virtual environments (functional -tests). - -Brief overview of test scenarios covered in this report: - -#. **VPP Performance**: VPP performance tests are executed in physical - FD.io testbeds, focusing on VPP network data plane performance in - NIC-to-NIC switching topologies. VPP application runs in - bare-metal host user-mode handling NICs. TRex is used as a traffic generator. - -#. **VPP Vhostuser Performance with KVM VMs**: VPP VM service switching - performance tests using vhostuser virtual interface for - interconnecting multiple NF-in-VM instances. VPP vswitch - instance runs in bare-metal user-mode handling NICs and connecting - over vhost-user interfaces to VM instances each running VPP with virtio - virtual interfaces. Similarly to VPP Performance, tests are run across a - range of configurations. TRex is used as a traffic generator. - -#. **VPP Memif Performance with LXC and Docker Containers**: VPP - Container service switching performance tests using memif virtual - interface for interconnecting multiple VPP-in-container instances. - VPP vswitch instance runs in bare-metal user-mode handling NICs and - connecting over memif (Slave side) interfaces to more instances of - VPP running in LXC or in Docker Containers, both with memif - interfaces (Master side). Similarly to VPP Performance, tests are - run across a range of configurations. TRex is used as a traffic - generator. - -#. **DPDK Performance**: VPP uses DPDK to drive the NICs and physical - interfaces. DPDK performance tests are used as a baseline to - profile performance of the DPDK sub-system. Two DPDK applications - are tested: Testpmd and L3fwd. DPDK tests are executed in the same - testing environment as VPP tests. DPDK Testpmd and L3fwd - applications run in host user-mode. TRex is used as a traffic - generator. - -#. **T-Rex Performance**: T-Rex perfomance tests are executed in physical - FD.io testbeds, focusing on T-Rex data plane performance in NIC-to-NIC - loopback topologies. - -#. **VPP Functional**: VPP functional tests are executed in virtual - FD.io testbeds, focusing on VPP packet processing functionality, - including both network data plane and in-line control plane. Tests - cover vNIC-to-vNIC vNIC-to-nestedVM-to-vNIC forwarding topologies. - Scapy is used as a traffic generator. - -All CSIT test data included in this report is auto- -generated from :abbr:`RF (Robot Framework)` :file:`output.xml` files -produced by :abbr:`LF (Linux Foundation)` FD.io Jenkins jobs executed -against |vpp-release| artifacts. References are provided to the -original FD.io Jenkins job results and all archived source files. - -FD.io CSIT system is developed using two main coding platforms: :abbr:`RF (Robot -Framework)` and Python. |csit-release| source code for the executed test -suites is available in CSIT branch |release| in the directory -:file:`./tests/<name_of_the_test_suite>`. A local copy of CSIT source code -can be obtained by cloning CSIT git repository - :command:`git clone -https://gerrit.fd.io/r/csit`. |
