Changes in |csit-release|
-------------------------
+#. TEST FRAMEWORK
+
+ - **CSIT test environment** version has been updated to ver. 10, see
+ :ref:`test_environment_versioning`.
+
#. DPDK PERFORMANCE TESTS
- - **Intel Xeon 2n-skx, 3n-skx and 2n-clx testbeds**: Testpmd and
- L3fwd performance test data is not included in this report
- version. This is due to the lower performance and behaviour
- inconsistency of these systems following the upgrade of processor
- microcode packages (skx ucode 0x2000064, clx ucode 0x500002c) as
- part of updating Ubuntu 18.04 LTS kernel version. Tested VPP and
- DPDK applications (L3fwd) are affected. Skx and Clx test data
- will be added in subsequent maintenance report version(s) once
- the issue is resolved. See :ref:`dpdk_known_issues`.
-

- // Alternative Note for 1st Bullet when bad microcode Skx, Clx results are published
- - **Intel Xeon 2n-skx, 3n-skx and 2n-clx testbeds**: Testpmd and
- L3fwd performance test data is included in this report version,
- but it shows lower performance and behaviour inconsistency of
- these systems following the upgrade of processor microcode
- packages (skx ucode 0x2000064, clx ucode 0x500002c) as part of
- updating Ubuntu 18.04 LTS kernel version. Tested VPP and DPDK
- applications (L3fwd) are affected. Skx and Clx test data will be
- corrected in subsequent maintenance report version(s) once the
- issue is resolved. See :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
+ - **Arm Ampere Altra**: 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_3n_alt`.
