-CSIT Release Notes\r
-==================\r
-\r
-Changes in CSIT |release|\r
--------------------------\r
-\r
-#. VPP performance test environment changes\r
-\r
-   - Further optimizations of VM and vhost-user test environment - various\r
-     Qemu virtio queue size testing with value of 256 and 1024. Applied\r
-     Linux CFS optimization to run VPP worker threads and Qemu worker threads\r
-     with highest priority.\r
-\r
-#. VPP performance test framework changes\r
-\r
-   - Full code review, optimization and refactor.\r
-\r
-#. T-rex changes\r
-\r
-   - Full refactor of T-rex driver and introduce of traffic profiles that\r
-     improves readability, manageability of traffic profiles for various\r
-     test scenarios.\r
-\r
-#. Added VPP performance tests\r
-\r
-   - **LXC memif**\r
-\r
-     - Memif interface tests interconnecting two VPP instances on single SUT.\r
-       Master VPP instance running on native OS with Intel x520 NIC and guest\r
-       VPP instance running in Linux Container (LXC) doing the L2 cross\r
-       connect loop. LXC running in privileged mode is pinned to dedicated\r
-       cores. All VPP instances are same version.\r
-\r
-   - **Stateful Security Groups**\r
-\r
-   - **VM vhost use cases**\r
-\r
-Performance Improvements\r
-------------------------\r
-\r
-Substantial improvements in measured packet throughput have been\r
-observed in a number of CSIT |release| tests listed below, with relative\r
-increase  of double-digit percentage points. Relative improvements are\r
-calculated against the test results listed in CSIT |release-1| report.\r
-VPP-16.09 numbers are provided for reference.\r

+
+Changes in |csit-release|
+-------------------------
+
+#. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
+
+   - CSIT test environment is now versioned, with ver. 1 associated
+     with CSIT rls1908 git branch as of 2019-08-21, and ver. 2
+     associated with CSIT rls2001 and master git branches as of
+     2020-03-27.
+
+   - To identify performance changes due to VPP code changes from
+     v20.01.0 to v20.05.0, both have been tested in CSIT environment
+     ver. 2 and compared against each other. All substantial
+     progressions has been marked up with RCA analysis. See
+     :ref:`vpp_compare_current_vs_previous_release` and
+     :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
+
+#. TEST FRAMEWORK
+
+   - **CSIT PAPI support**: Due to issues with PAPI performance, VAT is
+     still used in CSIT for all VPP scale tests. See known issues below.
+
+   - **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing RF keywords optimizations,
+     removal of redundant RF keywords and aligning of suite/test
+     setup/teardowns.
+
+#. PRESENTATION AND ANALYTICS LAYER
+
+   - **Graphs layout improvements**: Improved performance graphs layout
+     for better readibility and maintenance: test grouping, axis
+     labels, descriptions, other informative decoration.

++====+=========================================+===========================================================================================================+
+| 1  | `CSIT-570                               | Sporadic (1 in 200) NDR discovery test failures on x520. DPDK reporting rx-errors, indicating L1 issue.   |
+|    | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-570>`_  | Suspected issue with HW combination of X710-X520 in LF testbeds. Not observed outside of LF testbeds.     |
++----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| 2  | `VPP-662                                | 9000B packets not supported by NICs VIC1227 and VIC1387.                                                  |
+|    | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/VPP-662>`_   |                                                                                                           |
++----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| 3  | `CSIT-1498                              | Memif tests are sporadically failing on initialization of memif connection.                               |
+|    | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1498>`_ |                                                                                                           |

+| 4  | `VPP-1677                               | 9000B ip4 nat44: VPP crash + coredump.                                                                    |
+|    | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/VPP-1677>`_  | VPP crashes very often in case that NAT44 is configured and it has to process IP4 jumbo frames (9000B).   |
++----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| 5  | `CSIT-1591                              | All CSIT scale tests can not use PAPI due to much slower performance compared to VAT/CLI (it takes much   |
+|    | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1499>`_ | longer to program VPP). This needs to be addressed on the PAPI side.                                      |
