VNF Service Chains

Throughput graphs for VNF service chains are generated by multiple executions of tests covering a range of VNF service densities defined as [Number of Service Chains] x [Number of VNFs per Service Chain]. The results are presented in the service density graph.

Additional information about graph data:

  1. Graph Title: describes tested packet path including VNF workload running in each VM.
  2. X-axis Labels: VNFs per service chain.
  3. Y-axis Labels: number of service chains.
  4. Z-axis Color Scale: lists 64B Packet Throughput (mean MRR/NDR/PDR value) in Mpps.
  5. Hover Information: specific test substring listing vhost-chain-vm combinations, number of runs executed, mean MRR/NDR/PDR throughput in Mpps, standard deviation.

Note

Test results have been generated by FD.io test executor vpp performance job 2n-skx with RF result files csit-vpp-perf-1901-*.zip archived here.
