-Performance
-===========
-
-One of the benefits of FD.io VPP is it's high performance on relatively low-power computing.
-Included are the following.
-
-* A high-performance user-space network stack designed for commodity hardware:
-
- - L2, L3 and L4 features and encapsulations.
-
-* Optimized packet interfaces supporting a multitude of use cases:
-
- - An integrated vhost-user backend for high speed VM-to-VM connectivity
- - An integrated memif container backend for high speed Container-to-Container connectivity
- - An integrated vhost based interface to punt packets to the Linux Kernel
-
-* The same optimized code-paths run execute on the host, and inside VMs and Linux containers
-* Leverages best-of-breed open source driver technology: `DPDK <https://www.dpdk.org/>`_
-* Tested at scale; linear core scaling, tested with millions of flows and mac addresses
-
-These features have been designed to take full advantage of common micro-processor optimization techniques, such as:
-
-* Reducing cache and TLS misses by processing packets in vectors
-* Realizing `IPC <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_cycle>`_ gains with vector instructions such as: SSE, AVX and NEON
-* Eliminating mode switching, context switches and blocking, to always be doing useful work
-* Cache-lined aligned buffers for cache and memory efficiency

-Continuous System Integration and Testing (CSIT)
-------------------------------------------------
-
-The Continuous System Integration and Testing (CSIT) project provides functional and performance
-testing for FD.io VPP. This testing is focused on functional and performance regressions. The results
-are posted to `CSIT Test Report <https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/report/>`_.

-CSIT Packet Throughput examples
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Following are pointers to a few of the CSIT test reports. The test's titles read like this:
-
-<packet size>-<number of threads><number of cores>-<test>-<interface type>
-
-For example the test with the title 64b-2t1c-l2switching-base-i40e is the
-test that does l2 switching using 64 byte packets, 2 threads, 1 core using an i40e
-interface.
-
-Here are a few examples:
-
-* `L2 Ethernet switching <https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/report/vpp_performance_tests/packet_throughput_graphs/l2.html>`_
-* `IPv4 Routing <https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/report/vpp_performance_tests/packet_throughput_graphs/ip4.html>`_
-* `IPv6 Routing <https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/report/vpp_performance_tests/packet_throughput_graphs/ip6.html>`_

-Trending Throughput Graphs
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-These are some of the trending packet throughput graphs from the CSIT `trending dashboard <https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/trending/introduction/index.html>`_. **Please note that**, performance in the trending graphs will change on a nightly basis in line with the software development cycle:
-
-* `L2 Ethernet Switching Trending <https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/trending/trending/l2.html>`_
-* `IPv4 Routing Trending <https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/trending/trending/ip4.html>`_
-* `IPv6 Routing Trending <https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/trending/trending/ip6.html>`_
