9 * The only supported test VNF in this release for dataplane benchmarking purposes is PROX
10 * PROX supporting up to DPDK:20.05
11 * Introducing ability to make test cloud-configured dataplane networking benchmarks using
12 ETSI NFV TST009 standard methods
13 * Test automation using X-testing
19 This Hunter release provides *SampleVNF* as a approx VNF repository for
20 VNF/NFVI testing, characterization and OPNFV feature testing, automated on
21 OPNFV platform, including:
23 * Documentation generated with Sphinx
29 * Release notes (this document)
33 * Automated SampleVNF test suit in OPNFV Yardstick Project
35 * SampleVNF source code
37 For Hunter release, the *SampleVNF* supported:

54 .. note:: Highlevel Desgin and features supported by each of the VNFs is described in Developer
57 For Hunter release, the *SampleVNF* is used for the following
60 * OPNFV platform testing - generic test cases to measure the categories:
62 * NFVI Characterization:
66 * VNF Characterization:
68 * Network - rfc2544, rfc3511, latency, http_test etc
71 The *SampleVNF* is developed in the OPNFV community, by the SampleVNF team.
72 The *Network Service Benchmarking* SampleVNF Characterization Testing tool is a part of the
75 .. note:: The test case description template used for the SampleVNF in yardstick
76 test cases is based on the document `ETSI GS NFV-TST 001`_; the results report template
77 used for the SampleVNF test results is based on the IEEE Std 829-2008.
