Changes in |csit-release|
-------------------------
-#. **DPDK performance tests**
-
- - *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.
-
- - *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.
-
- - *2-node tests* - Set of 2-node tests covering testpmd and l3fwd.
-
- - Increased coverage of NIC specific tests (Intel-xxv710-da2, Intel-x710)
-
- - *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.

-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.
-
