-# CSIT 24.06 - VPP Performance
+# CSIT 24.10 - VPP Performance
1. TEST FRAMEWORK
- - **CSIT test environment** version has been updated to ver. 15, see
+ - **CSIT test environment** version 15 is used, see
[Environment Versioning]({{< ref "../../../infrastructure/fdio_csit_testbed_versioning" >}}).
- **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing code optimizations and bug fixes.
2. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
- - Added tests:
- - Added memif+DMA tests; added 1518B and 4c memif testcases.
- - Added nginx+DMA tests; added 2048B testcases.
- - Added IPsec hwasync tests to 3n-icxd and 3n-snr.
- - Added IPsec tests to cover more encryption algorithms and other settings.
- - Added more SOAK tests.
- - Added selected 6-port tests for 3na-spr.
- - Edited tests:
- - Selected single-flow tests now use single worker even if SMT is on.
- - IPsecHW tests now use rxq ratio of 2.
- - This means one worker reads only from one of two ports.
- - This workaround avoids some inefficiencies,
- - but still does not reach the expected performance on 3nb-spr.
- - 1518B tests with encapsulation overhead now properly use no-multi-seg.
- - Added TX checksum offload to hoststack tests missing it.
+
3. PRESENTATION AND ANALYTICS LAYER
- - Detailed views added to comparison tables.
+ - Max value on time axis has been set to utc.now
