VNF Service Chains¶
In each test, a single service chain is added, the re-configuration contains all the steps the initial chains got, except the last step (starting VMs) is skipped.
Additional information about graph data:

X-axis Labels: indices of individual test suites as listed in Graph Legend.
Y-axis Labels: measured Effective Blocked Time [s] values.
Graph Legend: lists X-axis indices with associated CSIT test suites executed to generate graphed test results and the average value of packet loss (measured in packets).
Hover Information: lists minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum. If either type of outlier is present the whisker on the appropriate side is taken to 1.5×IQR from the quartile (the “inner fence”) rather than the max or min, and individual outlying data points are displayed as unfilled circles (for suspected outliers) or filled circles (for outliers). (The “outer fence” is 3×IQR from the quartile.)
