 #. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
 
    - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added higher NF density tests with
-     802.1q (vlan) and VXLAN encapsulation from Traffic Generator.
+     IPSec encencryption between DUTs.
 
-   - **GBP tests**: Added GBP (Group Based Policy) routing test cases
-     with 802.1q (vlan) external traffic.
-
-   - **AVF IPv4 scale tests**: Increased coverage of AVF IPv4 base and
-     scale test cases (Fortville NICs only).
-
-   - **2n-skx tests**: Increased coverage of selected (COP, iACL,
-     Policer) test cases.
-
-   - **IPsec scale tests**: Added IPsec interface mode scale tests with
-     1, 40, 400, 1000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 40000, 60000 IPsec tunnels.
-     Removed DPDK backend dependency. Major IPsec test code
-     refactoring.
+   - **AVF tests**: Full test coveraged based on code changes in CSIT core
+     layer (driver/interface awareness) and generated by suite generator
+     (Fortville NICs only).
 
    - **Hoststack TCP/IP tests**: Major refactor of Hoststack TCP
      performance tests using WRK generator talking to the VPP HTTP
      static server plugin measuring connections per second and
      requests per second.
 
-   - **Changed methodology of dot1q tests in 2-Node testbeds**: dot1q
-     encapsulation is now used on both links of SUT. Previously dot1q
-     was used only on a single link with the other link carrying
-     untagged Ethernet frames. This change results in slightly lower
-     throughput in CSIT-1908 for all dot1q tests in all 2-Node
-     testbeds.
-
-   - **KVM VM vhost-user tests**: completed move to Kernel-VM for all
-     tests. In addition to running DPDK Testpmd as VM workload, new
-     tests created with VPP as VM workload. VPP in VM is the same
-     version as the DUT VPP (acting as vSwitch) and its configuration
-     depends on the test type. For all L2 Ethernet Switching tests
-     it's vpp-l2xc (L2 cross-connect), for all IPv4 Routing tests it's
-     vpp-ip4 (VPP IPv4 routing).

 #. TEST FRAMEWORK
 
+   - **CSIT Python3 Support**: Full migration of CSIT from Python2.7 to
+     Python3.6. This change includes library migration, PIP dependency upgrade,
+     CSIT container images, infrastructure packages ugrade/installation.
+
    - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Finished conversion of CSIT VAT L1 keywords
      to PAPI L1 KWs in CSIT using VPP Python bindings (VPP PAPI).
      Redesign of key components of PAPI Socket Executor and PAPI
