- **MRR Throughput**: MRR (Maximum Receive Rate) test code has now
configurable trial duration and number of consecutive executions.
Coverage of MRR tests has been extended across more test

- and for comparison between DPDK releases.
+ scenarios. MRR tests are used for continuous performance trending.
- **MLRsearch Throughput**: MLRsearch algorithm has been introduced
for all NDR and PDR throughput tests. All tests that previously
cores combinations. All existing test cases were converted to new

-Performance Changes
--------------------
-
-Relative performance changes in measured NDR, PDR and MRR packet
-throughput in |csit-release| are calculated against the test results
-from |csit-release-1| report, for 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 VPP releases to verify
-test results repeatability, with percentage change calculated for mean
-values.
