#. 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`.
+ - Refactor of CSIT initialization helper scripts for DPDK testpmd
+ and l3fwd. Removing obsolete parameters from DPDK testpmd and l3fwd
+ command line.
+
+ - Fixed 9000B L2 packet size tests not passing for all NICs.
+
+ - Fixed DPDK compilation and test initialization of Mellanox NICs using
+ CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MLX5_PMD=y in compile configuration.
#. DPDK RELEASE VERSION CHANGE
- |csit-release| tested |dpdk-release|, as used by |vpp-release|.
-..
- // 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`.

-| 8 | `CSIT-1675 | Intel Xeon 2n-skx, 3n-skx and 2n-clx testbeds behaviour and performance became inconsistent following |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1675>`_ | the upgrade to the latest Ubuntu 18.04 LTS kernel version (4.15.0-72-generic) and associated microcode |
-| | | packages (skx ucode 0x2000064, clx ucode 0x500002c). VPP as well as DPDK L3fwd tests are affected. |
+| 1 | `CSIT-1701 | DPDK L3fwd tests with 9000B L2 packet size are not passing with Mellanox NICs. |
+| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1701>`_ | L3fwd application does not accept parameter for increasing -mbuf-size in same way DPDK testpmd does. |
