Changes in |csit-release|
-------------------------
-#. **DPDK performance tests**
+#. TEST FRAMEWORK
- - *MRR tests* - Maximum Receive Rate tests measure the packet forwarding rate
- under the maximum load offered by traffic generator over a set trial
- duration, regardless of packet loss. MRR tests are used for continuous
- performance trending and for comparison between releases.
+ - **CSIT test environment** version has been updated to ver. 10, see
+ :ref:`test_environment_versioning`.
- - *MLR tests* - NDR and PDR tests measure the packet forwarding rate using
- MLRsearch library by traffic generator. All tests that previously used
- binary search were converted to MLRsearch.
+#. DPDK PERFORMANCE TESTS
- - *2-node tests* - Set of 2-node tests covering testpmd and l3fwd.
+ - **Arm Ampere Altra**: Performance test data for these platforms
+ is now provided by testbeds newly installed in FD.io CSIT labs.
+ For details about the physical setup see
+ :ref:`physical_testbeds_3n_alt`.
- - Increased coverage of NIC specific tests (Intel-xxv710-da2, Intel-x710)
+#. DPDK RELEASE VERSION CHANGE
- - *Generated tests* - Simplified and unified test structure,
- semi-autogenerated by generator script. Test generator is currently able
- to create test combinations with various frame size and cores combinations.
- All existing test cases were converted to new format.
+ - |csit-release| tested |dpdk-release|, as used by |vpp-release|.

-Performance Changes
--------------------
-
-Relative performance changes in measured packet throughput in |csit-release|
-are calculated against the results from |csit-release-1|
-report. Listed mean and standard deviation values are computed based on
-a series of the same tests executed against respective DPDK releases to
-verify test results repeatability, with percentage change calculated for
-mean values.
-
-NDR Changes
-~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-NDR throughput changes between releases are available in a CSV and pretty ASCII
-formats:
-
- - `csv format for 1t1c <../_static/dpdk/performance-changes-1t1c-ndr.csv>`_,
- - `csv format for 2t2c <../_static/dpdk/performance-changes-2t2c-ndr.csv>`_,

-are calculated against the results measured on 3-Node Hsw testbed.
