2.4.9. Container Orchestrated Topologies

Following sections include summary graphs of VPP Phy-to-Phy performance with Container Orchestrated Topologies, including NDR throughput (zero packet loss) and PDR throughput (<0.5% packet loss). Performance is reported for VPP running in multiple configurations of VPP worker thread(s), a.k.a. VPP data plane thread(s), and their physical CPU core(s) placement.

2.4.9.1. NDR Throughput

VPP NDR 64B packet throughput in 1t1c setup (1thread, 1core) is presented in the graph below.

Figure 1. VPP 1thread 1core - NDR Throughput for Phy-to-Phy L2 Ethernet Switching (base).

CSIT source code for the test cases used for above plots can be found in CSIT git repository.

VPP NDR 64B packet throughput in 2t2c setup (2thread, 2core) is presented in the graph below.

CSIT source code for the test cases used for above plots can be found in CSIT git repository.

2.4.9.2. PDR Throughput

VPP PDR 64B packet throughput in 1t1c setup (1thread, 1core) is presented in the graph below. PDR measured for 0.5% packet loss ratio.
