Many open-source projects develop software for network data planes targetting a number of use cases for VM and cloud-native deployments. Implementing a range of network functions applied in many combinations and on different compute platforms and devices, calls for consistent performance validation against benchmarks set by the user base.
This talk explains how FD.io CSIT project aims to meet this need by developing and providing Continuous Performance Lab platform for benchmarking, validation, performance trending and regression detection. Founded on multi-vendor collaboration, CSIT leverages multi-platform knowledge and telemetry tools to analyze and correlate benchmarking results leading to consistent, repeatable and reliable performance validation the user base can rely on. Recent FD.io VPP release performance data is presented and discussed in this context.
