+VPP_Device Functional
+---------------------
+
+|csit-release| added new VPP_Device test environment for functional VPP
+device tests integrated into LFN CI/CD infrastructure. VPP_Device tests
+run on 1-Node testbeds (1n-skx, 1n-arm) and rely on Linux SRIOV Virtual
+Function (VF), dot1q VLAN tagging and external loopback cables to
+facilitate packet passing over exernal physical links. Initial focus is
+on few baseline tests. Existing CSIT VIRL tests can be moved to
+VPP_Device framework by changing L1 and L2 KW(s). RF test definition
+code stays unchanged with the exception of requiring adjustments from
+3-Node to 2-Node logical topologies. CSIT VIRL to VPP_Device migration
+is expected in the next CSIT release.
