.. _vpp18.07: ############################### Features for Release VPP 18.07 ############################### This section lists those features that became available in VPP Release 18.07: Infrastructure +++++++++++++++ * DPDK 18.02.1 - Complete rework of the dpdk-input node - Display rx/tx burst function name in "show hardware detail" - Improve buffer alloc performance + This is ~50% improvement in buffer alloc performance. For a 256 buffer allocation, it was ~10 clocks/buffer, now is < 5 clocks. - Add per-numa page allocation info to 'show memory' - Vectorized bihash_{48,40,24,16}_8 key compare + bihash_48_8 case: * Scalar code: 6 clocks * SSE4.2 code: 3 clocks * AVX2 code: 2.27 clocks * AVX512 code: 1.5 clocks - Pollable Stats + Stats are now available to a client in a shared memory segment and in the form of a directory, allowing very high performance polling of stats without directly querying VPP. VNET & Plugins +++++++++++++++ * IGMP improvements - Enable/Disable an interface for IGMP - improve logging - refactor common code - no orphaned timers - IGMP state changes in main thread only - Large groups split over multiple state-change reports - SSM range configuration API. - more tests * IP: vectorized IP checksum * VXLAN : HW offload RX flow * Rework kube-proxy into LB plugin and add NATA66 * NAT: - Code refactor - Syslog - Multiple outside interfaces - Endpoint dependent filtering and mapping * ACL: - Tuple Merge algorithm cleanup and integration - Processing pipeline optimizations - Refactoring * Experimental AVF driver Host stack +++++++++++ * Session: performance improvements, add support for connectionless transports, datagram reception and transmission * TCP: congestion control improvements and overall fixes * UDP: datagram mode * TLS async support Known issues --------------- For the full list of issues please refer to fd.io `JIRA <https://jira.fd.io/>`_.
