-Tests to be Added - Cryptodev\r
------------------------------\r
-\r
-DPDK Cryptodev functionality support for both SW and HW crypto devices has\r
-been introduced in VPP-17.01 release. CSIT functional and performance tests\r
-have been also developed and merged. However due to the factors beyond CSIT\r
-project control execution of those tests within the LF FD.io test environment\r
-still need to complete. Once the results become available, they will be\r
