- - CSIT test environment is versioned, see
- :ref:`test_environment_versioning`.
-
- - To identify performance changes due to VPP code changes from
- v20.01.0 to v20.05.0, both have been tested in CSIT environment
- ver. 4 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`.
+ - **Regressions with DPDK drivers**: Change from DPDK v21.08 to DPDK
+ v21.11 introduced regression across all tests using dpdk
+ drivers (with dpdk_plugin loaded). Compared to previous VPP
+ release performance drop varies in the range of -15% to -6%,
+ depending on test. It is related to updated MTU checks within
+ DPDK code and associated VPP code changes. See
+ `VPP v2202 release notes <https://s3-docs.fd.io/vpp/22.02/aboutvpp/releasenotes/v22.02.html>`_
+ and :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
+
+ - **Number of CSIT 9000B frame tests failing**: tests with higher
+ encapsulation overhead are failing due to exceeding default
+ Ethernet Maximum Frame Size value that has been reduced by MTU
+ related VPP code changes. See
+ `VPP v2202 release notes <https://s3-docs.fd.io/vpp/22.02/aboutvpp/releasenotes/v22.02.html>`_
+ and :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
+
+ - **Intel Xeon Ice Lake**: Performance test data for these platforms
+ is now provided by testbeds newly installed in FD.io CSIT labs.
+ For details about the physical setup see
+ :ref:`physical_testbeds_2n_icx` and
+ :ref:`physical_testbeds_3n_icx`.
+
+ - **Reduction of tests**: Removed certain test variations executed
+ iteratively for the report (as well as in daily and weekly
+ trending) due to physical testbeds overload.
