+Current vs. Previous Release
+----------------------------
+
+Relative comparison of DPDK Testpmd and L3fwd packet throughput (NDR,
+PDR and MRR) between |dpdk-release| and DPDK-18.02 (measured for |csit-
+release| and |csit-release-1| respectively) is calculated from results
+of tests running on 3-Node Intel Xeon Haswell testbeds (3n-hsw) in
+1-core, 2-core and 4-core (MRR only) configurations.
+
+Listed mean and standard deviation values are computed based on a series
+of the same tests executed against respective DPDK releases to verify
+test results repeatability, with percentage change calculated for mean
+values.
