- - *MRR tests :* New MRR tests measure the packet forwarding rate
- under the maximum load offered by traffic generator over a set
- trial duration, regardless of packet loss. Maximum load for
- specified Ethernet frame size is set to the bi-directional link
- rate. MRR tests are used for continuous performance trending and
- for comparison between releases.

- - *Service Chaining with SRv6 :* SRv6 (Segment Routing IPv6) proxy tests
- verifying performance of Endpoint to SR-unaware appliance via
- masquerading (End.AM), dynamic proxy (End.AD) or static proxy (End.AS)
- functions.

+#. **Presentation and Analytics Layer**
- - Added continuous performance measuring, trending and anomaly
- detection. Includes new PAL code and Jenkins jobs for Performance
- Trending (PT) and Performance Analysis (PA) producing performance
- trending dashboard and trendline graphs with summary and drill-
- down views across all specified tests that can be reviewed and
- inspected regularly by FD.io developers and users community.
+ - *Performance trending* - Added continuous performance trending and
+ analysis. New Performance Trending and Performance Analysis jobs
+ executed regular throughput tests, with results being subsequently
+ analysed and trend and anomalies summarized and presented in VPP
+ Performance Dashboard and trendline graphs.
#. **Test Framework Optimizations**
- - *Performance tests efficiency :* Qemu build/install
- optimizations, warmup phase handling, vpp restart handling.
- Resulted in improved stability and reduced total execution time by
- 30% for single pkt size e.g. 64B/78B.
