Upgrade includes also baseline Docker containers used for + spawning topology. + - **AF_XDP**: Added af_xdp driver testing for all testcases. - - **GSO tests**: Added VPP performance tests for GSOtap and GSOvirtio. - All tested topologies are compared with GSO enabled and disabled. - In |csit-release| there is only 1t1c tests running. - See :ref:`gso_methodology` for more details. + - **GTPU tunnel**: Added GTPU HW Offload IPv4 routing 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. - - - **Jumbo for ipsec**: Test cases with 9000 byte frames are re-enabled - in ipsec suites. - - - **Randomized profiles**: Improved repeatability and cycle length. - For details, see :ref:`packet_flow_ordering`. - - - **Arm 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. - - - **Framework speedup**: Shortened overall test job duration - by using a different test selection mechanism (using --test - instead of --include) and by avoiding unnecessary PAPI reconnects. + - **Telemetry retouch**: Redesign telemetry retrieval from DUT. Include + VPP perfmon plugin telemetry. #. TEST FRAMEWORK - - **TRex ASTF**: Improved 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.
