VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS - - - CSIT test environment is versioned, see - :ref:`test_environment_versioning`. - - - To identify performance changes due to VPP code changes from - v20.05.0 to v20.09.0, both have been tested in CSIT environment - ver. 5 and compared against each other. All substantial - progressions has been marked up with RCA analysis. See - :ref:`vpp_compare_current_vs_previous_release` and - :ref:`vpp_known_issues`. - - - **NAT44 tests**: Adapted existing and added new tests. - - - 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. - - - 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. - - - **AMD 2n-zn2 testbed**: New physical testbed type installed in - FD.io CSIT, with VPP and DPDK performance data added to CSIT - trending and this report. - - - **AMD 2n-tx2 testbed**: New physical testbed type installed in - FD.io CSIT, with VPP and DPDK performance data added to CSIT - trending and this report. - -#. TEST FRAMEWORK - - - **TRex ASTF**: Added capability to run TRex in advanced stateful mode. - - - **CSIT PAPI support**: Due to issues with PAPI performance, VAT is - still used in CSIT for all VPP scale tests. See known issues below. - - - **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing RF keywords optimizations, - removal of redundant RF keywords and aligning of suite/test - setup/teardowns. - - - **Intel E810CQ 100G NIC**: Added configuration for Intel E810CQ 100G NIC. - No tests run for this NIC as it is not present in FD.io CSIT lab yet. - -#. PRESENTATION AND ANALYTICS LAYER - - - **Graphs improvements**: Added possibility to use Gbps on Y-axis in - Packet Throughput and Speedup Multi-Core graphs, added unidirectional - mode to the Latency graphs. - -.. raw:: latex - - \clearpage - -.. _vpp_known_issues: - -Known Issues ------------- - -List of known issues in |csit-release| for VPP performance tests: - -+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ -| # | JiraID | Issue Description | -+====+=========================================+===========================================================================================================+ -| 1 | `CSIT-570 | Sporadic (1 in 200) NDR discovery test failures on x520.
