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 for\r
-this release are calculated against the test results listed in CSIT\r
-|release-1| report. The comparison is calculated between the mean values\r
-based on collected and archived test results' samples for involved VPP\r
-releases. Standard deviation has been also listed for CSIT |release|.\r
-VPP-16.09 and VPP-17.01 numbers are provided for reference.\r
