VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS - - - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added higher NF density tests with two - NFs' data-plane threads sharing a physical core. VPP IPv4 routing is now - used as a VNF payload similar to CNF tests. +.. + Changes in |csit-release| + ------------------------- - - **Soak Tests**: Optimized performamce soak tests framework - code for extended time duration tests and throughput discovery - at given PLR and at give total test time e.g. minutes, hours, - days, weeks. See updated - :ref:`test_methodology` section for more details. + #. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS -#. TEST FRAMEWORK + - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Network Function Virtualization (NFV) + service density tests focus on measuring total per server throughput at + varied NFV service *packing* densities with vswitch providing host + dataplane. The goal is to compare and contrast performance of a shared + vswitch for different network topologies and virtualization technologies, + and their impact on vswitch performance and efficiency in a range of NFV + service configurations. - - **Qemu code refactor**: Complete code refactor of the key components of - QemuUtil.py and QemuManager.py (L1 and L2 KW counterparts). Added - implementation of kernel-image-kvm based VM replacing the previously used - NestedVM images. Added ability to run VPP as a payload in VNF. + - **Experimental Soak Tests**: Added performamce soak tests framework + code for extended time duration tests and throughput discovery + at given PLR and at give total test time e.g. minutes, hours, + days, weeks, months, years. See updated + :ref:`test_methodology` section for more details. - - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Continued conversion of CSIT VAT L1 keywords to - PAPI L1 KWs in CSIT using VPP Python bindings. Redesign of key components - of PAPI Executor and PAPI history. + #. TEST FRAMEWORK - - **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing RF keywords optimizations, - removal of redundant RF keywords. + - **Container code optimizations**: Optimized container library allows to + run containre_memif tests faster. - - **Test suite generator**: Added capability to generate suites for - different NIC models as well as throughput search algorithm types. Uses - base tests suites as source. + - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Continue converting existing VAT L1 keywords to + PAPI L1 KWs in CSIT using VPP Python bindings. Required for migrating away + from VAT. - - **TOX verification**: Added verifications for test suite generator. + - **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing RF keywords optimizations, + removal of redundant RF keywords. -#.
