| 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 perfomance | |
| + 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 | |
