Changes in |csit-release|
-------------------------
-No code changes apart from bug fixes.
+#. DPDK RELEASE VERSION CHANGE
+
+ - |csit-release| tested |dpdk-release|, as used by |vpp-release|.
+
+#. DPDK PERFORMANCE TESTS
+
+ - **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
+ 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
+ used binary search got converted to MLRsearch. Coverage of NDR/PDR
+ tests has been extended across more test scenarios.
+
+ - **2-Node Tests**: A new set of 2-node tests covering DPDK Testpmd
+ and L3fwd, running on new Xeon Skylake testbeds.
+
+ - **More NICs**: Increased coverage of NIC models tested: Intel-
+ xxv710-da2, Intel-x710-da4.
+
+ - **Generated tests**: Simplified and unified test structure, semi-
+ autogenerated by generator script. Test generator is currently
+ able to create test combinations with various frame size and
+ cores combinations. All existing test cases were converted to new
+ format.
+
+#. PRESENTATION AND ANALYTICS LAYER
+
+ - **Performance trending**: Added regular performance trending,
+ anomaly detection and analysis for DPDK.
