OPNFV Jerma Release
===================
* The only supported test VNF in this release for dataplane benchmarking purposes is PROX
* PROX supporting up to DPDK:20.05
* Introducing ability to make test cloud-configured dataplane networking benchmarks using
  ETSI NFV TST009 standard methods
* Test automation using X-testing


OPNFV Hunter Release
======================

This Hunter release provides *SampleVNF* as a approx VNF repository for
VNF/NFVI testing, characterization and OPNFV feature testing, automated on
OPNFV platform, including:

* Documentation generated with Sphinx

  * User Guide

  * Developer Guide

  * Release notes (this document)

  * Results

* Automated SampleVNF test suit in OPNFV Yardstick_ Project

* SampleVNF source code

For Hunter release, the *SampleVNF* supported:

+----------------+---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+
| *VNF*          |                 *Name*                                  |    *version*      |

+----------------+---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+

.. note:: Highlevel Desgin and features supported by each of the VNFs is described in Developer
          and user guide.

For Hunter release, the *SampleVNF* is used for the following
testing:

* OPNFV platform testing - generic test cases to measure the categories:

  * NFVI Characterization:

    * Network

  * VNF Characterization:

    * Network - rfc2544, rfc3511, latency, http_test etc


The *SampleVNF* is developed in the OPNFV community, by the SampleVNF_ team.
The *Network Service Benchmarking* SampleVNF Characterization Testing tool is a part of the
Yardstick Project.

.. note:: The test case description template used for the SampleVNF in yardstick
  test cases is based on the document ETSI-ISG NFV-TST001_; the results report template
  used for the SampleVNF test results is based on the IEEE Std 829-2008.
