- See :ref:`geneve_methodology` for more details.
- - **NAT44 tests**: Adapted existing and added new tests.
+ - **NAT44 tests**: Added new test type, pure throughput tests.
+ They are similar to PPS tests, but they employ ramp-up trials
+ to ensure all sessions are created (and not timing out)
+ for performance trials.
- - Refactored NAT44 deterministic mode (nat44det) tests to use separate
- det44 vpp plugin and to use the same scheme of inside and outside
- addresses and ports, as used in new NAT44 endpoint-dependent mode tests.
+ - **Jumbo for ipsec**: Test cases with 9000 byte frames are re-enabled
+ in ipsec suites.
- - Added new NAT44 endpoint-depended mode uni-directional (nat44ed-udir)
- tests that measure packet throughput in one direction with usage of TRex
- in stateless mode.
-
- - Added new NAT44 endpoint-dependent mode CPS tests that measure
- connections per second with usage of TRex in stateful mode.
- UPD packet size is 64 bytes. Size of TCP control packets
- is not configurable, please ignore the -64b- part of test names.
-
- - Added new NAT44 endpoint-dependent mode PPS tests that measure
- packets per second (control and data together) with usage of TRex
- in stateful mode. UPD packet size is 64 bytes. Size of TCP
- data packets is governed by the default MSS value, so most data packets
- are 1460 bytes long, please ignore the -64b- part of test names.
-
- - See :ref:`nat44_methodology` for more details.
-
- - **IPSec async mode tests**: Added VPP performance tests for async crypto
- engine.
+ - **Randomized profiles**: Improved repeatability and cycle length.
+ For details, see :ref:`packet_flow_ordering`.
- **AMD 2n-tx2 testbed**: New physical testbed type installed in
FD.io CSIT, with VPP and DPDK performance data added to CSIT
