- - CSIT test environment is versioned, see
- :ref:`test_environment_versioning`.
-
- - To identify performance changes due to VPP code changes from
- v20.05.0 to v20.09.0, both have been tested in CSIT environment
- ver. 5 and compared against each other. All substantial
- progressions has been marked up with RCA analysis. See
- :ref:`vpp_compare_current_vs_previous_release` and
- :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
-
- - **NAT44 tests**: Adapted existing and added new tests.
-
- - Refactored NAT44 deterministic mode (nat44det) tests to use separate
- det44 vpp plugin and to use the same scheme of inside and outside
- addresses and ports, as used in new NAT44 endpoint-dependent mode tests.
-
- - Added new NAT44 endpoint-depended mode uni-directional (nat44ed-udir)
- tests that measure packet throughput in one direction with usage of TRex
- in stateless mode.
+ - **Intel Xeon Ice Lake**: Performance test data for these platforms
+ continues to be provided by external Intel benchmarking labs
+ executing |csit-release| tests. For details about the physical
+ setup see :ref:`tested_physical_topologies`.
