-CSIT Release Notes
-==================
-
-Changes in CSIT |release|
--------------------------
-
-#. Added Testpmd tests
-
-    - new NICs - Intel x520
-
-Multi-Thread and Multi-Core Measurements
-----------------------------------------
-
-**HyperThreading** - CSIT |release| performance tests are executed with SUT
-servers' Intel XEON CPUs configured in HyperThreading Disabled mode (BIOS
-settings). This is the simplest configuration used to establish baseline
-single-thread single-core SW packet processing and forwarding performance.
-Subsequent releases of CSIT will add performance tests with Intel
-HyperThreading Enabled (requires BIOS settings change and hard reboot).
-
-**Multi-core Test** - CSIT |release| multi-core tests are executed in the
-following Testpmd thread and core configurations:
-
-#. 1t1c - 1 Testpmd pmd thread on 1 CPU physical core.
-#. 2t2c - 2 Testpmd pmd threads on 2 CPU physical cores.
-#. 4t4c - 4 Testpmd pmd threads on 4 CPU physical cores.
-
-Note that in many tests running Testpmd reaches tested NIC I/O bandwidth
-or packets-per-second limit.
-
-Packet Throughput Measurements
-------------------------------
-
-Following values are measured and reported for packet throughput tests:
-
-- NDR binary search per RFC2544:
-
-  - Packet rate: "RATE: <aggregate packet rate in packets-per-second> pps
-    (2x <per direction packets-per-second>)"
-  - Aggregate bandwidth: "BANDWIDTH: <aggregate bandwidth in Gigabits per
-    second> Gbps (untagged)"
-
-- PDR binary search per RFC2544:
-
-  - Packet rate: "RATE: <aggregate packet rate in packets-per-second> pps (2x
-    <per direction packets-per-second>)"
-  - Aggregate bandwidth: "BANDWIDTH: <aggregate bandwidth in Gigabits per
-    second> Gbps (untagged)"
-  - Packet loss tolerance: "LOSS_ACCEPTANCE <accepted percentage of packets
-    lost at PDR rate>""
-
-- NDR and PDR are measured for the following L2 frame sizes:
-
-  - IPv4: 64B, 1518B, 9000B.
-
-
-Packet Latency Measurements
----------------------------
-
-TRex Traffic Generator (TG) is used for measuring latency of Testpmd DUTs.
-Reported latency values are measured using following methodology:
-
-- Latency tests are performed at 10%, 50% of discovered NDR rate (non drop rate)
-  for each NDR throughput test and packet size (except IMIX).
-- TG sends dedicated latency streams, one per direction, each at the rate of
-  10kpps at the prescribed packet size; these are sent in addition to the main
-  load streams.
-- TG reports min/avg/max latency values per stream direction, hence two sets
-  of latency values are reported per test case; future release of TRex is
-  expected to report latency percentiles.
-- Reported latency values are aggregate across two SUTs due to three node
-  topology used for all performance tests; for per SUT latency, reported value
-  should be divided by two.
-- 1usec is the measurement accuracy advertised by TRex TG for the setup used in
-  FD.io labs used by CSIT project.
-- TRex setup introduces an always-on error of about 2*2usec per latency flow -
-  additonal Tx/Rx interface latency induced by TRex SW writing and reading
-  packet timestamps on CPU cores without HW acceleration on NICs closer to the
-  interface line.
-
-
-Report Addendum Tests - Additional NICs
----------------------------------------
-
-Adding test cases with more NIC types. Once the results become available, they
-will be published as an addendum to the current version of CSIT |release|
-report.
