 Changes in CSIT |release|

 -------------------------

 

-#. Test environment changes in VPP data plane performance tests:

-

-   - Further characterization and optimizations of VPP vhost-user and VM test

-     methodology and test environment;

-

-     - Tests with varying Qemu virtio queue (a.k.a. vring) sizes:

-       [vr256] default 256 descriptors, [vr1024] 1024 descriptors to

-       optimize for packet throughput;

-

-     - Tests with varying Linux :abbr:`CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler)`

-       settings: [cfs] default settings, [cfsrr1] :abbr:`CFS (Completely Fair

-       Scheduler)` RoundRobin(1) policy applied to all data plane threads

-       handling test packet path including all VPP worker threads and all Qemu

-       testpmd poll-mode threads;

-

-     - Resulting test cases are all combinations with [vr256,vr1024] and

-       [cfs,cfsrr1] settings;
