- **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing code optimizations and bug fixes.
2. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
- **Added iterative and coverage performance tests** for 3n-oct testbed.
+3. HOSTSTACK TEST EDITS
+ - Iperf3 invocation was tweaked to accomodate multi-thread usage after ubuntu2404 migration.
# Known Issues
as long as they caused some results to be missing (or performance wrong).
