#. **DPDK performance tests**
- - *MRR tests* - Maximum Receive Rate tests measure the packet forwarding rate
- under the maximum load offered by traffic generator over a set trial
- duration, regardless of packet loss. MRR tests are used for continuous
- performance trending and for comparison between releases.
+ - **MRR Throughput**: MRR (Maximum Receive Rate) test code has now
+ configurable trial duration and number of consecutive executions.
+ Coverage of MRR tests has been extended across more test
+ scenarios. MRR tests are used for continuous performance trending
+ and for comparison between DPDK releases.
- - *MLR tests* - NDR and PDR tests measure the packet forwarding rate using
- MLRsearch library by traffic generator. All tests that previously used
- binary search were converted to MLRsearch.
+ - **MLRsearch Throughput**: MLRsearch algorithm has been introduced
+ for all NDR and PDR throughput tests. All tests that previously
+ used binary search got converted to MLRsearch. Coverage of NDR/PDR
+ tests has been extended across more test scenarios.
- - *2-node tests* - Set of 2-node tests covering testpmd and l3fwd.
+ - **2-Node Tests**: A new set of 2-node tests covering DPDK Testpmd
+ and L3fwd, running on new Xeon Skylake testbeds.
- - Increased coverage of NIC specific tests (Intel-xxv710-da2, Intel-x710)
+ - **More NICs**: Increased coverage of NIC models tested: Intel-
+ xxv710-da2, Intel-x710-da4.
- - *Generated tests* - Simplified and unified test structure,
- semi-autogenerated by generator script. Test generator is currently able
- to create test combinations with various frame size and cores combinations.
- All existing test cases were converted to new format.

+ - **Performance trending**: Added continuous performance trending with
+ anomaly detection and analysis for DPDK.
