#. **VPP Performance Tests**
- - **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 VPP releases.
-
- - **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.
-
- - **L2patch Tests**: Tests measure performance of VPP L2patch, the
- fastest L2 forwarding path implemented in VPP, that cross-links
- RX and TX of two physical interfaces.
-
- - **2-Node Tests**: A new baseline set of 2-node tests covering base
- ip4, ip6, l2patch, l2bd, l2xc, running on new Xeon Skylake
- testbeds.
-
- - **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.
-
- - **Simultaneous Multi-Threading**: SMT-aware detection of server
- processor operation mode (HyperThreading enabled/disabled) with
- associated compute resource configuration including thread
- affinity, number of Rx queues and DPDK I/O mbufs. Tests are
- automatically tagged during execution to indicate executed thread
- configuration.
-
- - **Intel Xeon Skylake Support**: Support for 2-Node and 3-Node
- physical testbed topologies based on the new SuperMirco servers
- each with two Intel Xeon Skylake Platinum processors. Full
- Ansible playbooks refactor for quick server (re)installation and
- reference pointers of configuration.
