++---+-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ +| 2 | Vic1385 and Vic1227 NICs jumbo frames test | Suspected issue with VIC DPDK drivers that do not support jumbo | +| | failures (9000B) | frames (dropped rx-miss). Observed frequency: 100%. | ++---+-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ +| 3 | Vic1385 and Vic1227 performance | Low performance of NDR results. Big difference between NDR and | +| | | PDR. . | ++---+-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ +| 4 | Sporadic NDR discovery test failures on x520 | Suspected issue with HW settings (BIOS, FW) in LF | +| | | infrastructure. Issue can't be replicated outside LF. | ++---+-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ +| 5 | Non-repeatible zig-zagging NDR throughput | Suspected NIC driver issue in multi-thread multi-core operation | +| | results for multi-thread multi-core tests | affectin NDR throughput. Applies to XL710 and X710 NICs tested. | +| | - 2t2c, 4t4c - for some tested NICs. | | ++---+-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ + +Tests to be Added - Cryptodev +----------------------------- + +DPDK Cryptodev functionality support for both SW and HW crypto devices has +been introduced in VPP-17.01 release. CSIT functional and performance tests +have been also developed and merged. However due to the factors beyond CSIT +project control execution of those tests within the LF FD.io test environment +still need to complete. Once the results become available, they will be +published as an addendum to the current version of CSIT |release| report. + +Tests to be Added - SNAT44 +-------------------------- + +VPP SNAT44 functionality has been introduced in VPP-17.01 release. CSIT +performance tests are still in development and integration into LFD FD.io test +environment. Once the tests are fully integrated and results become available, +they will be published as an addendum to the current version of CSIT |release| +report. -- cgit 1.2.3-korg
