-Release Notes
-=============
-
-Changes in |csit-release|
--------------------------
-
-#. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
-
- - **Intel Xeon Ice Lake**: Performance test data for these platforms
- continues to be provided by external Intel benchmarking labs
- executing |csit-release| tests. For details about the physical
- setup see :ref:`tested_physical_topologies`.
-
- - **AWS EC2 c5n**: Performance test data for AWS c5n instances has
- been added to report for ip4, ip6 and ipsec tests.
-
- - **Reduction of tests**: Removed certain test variations executed
- iteratively for the report (as well as in daily and weekly
- trending) due to physical testbeds overload.
-
-#. TEST FRAMEWORK
-
- - **CSIT test environment** version has been updated to ver. 8, see
- :ref:`test_environment_versioning`.
-
- - **CSIT in AWS environment**: Completed CSIT automation support for
- AWS c5n instances environment, including weekly performance
- trending tests execution.
-
- - **CSIT PAPI support**: Due to issues with PAPI performance, and
- deprecation of VAT, CLI is used in CSIT for many VPP scale tests.
- See known issues below.
-
- - **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing code optimizations and bug
- fixes.
-
-#. PRESENTATION AND ANALYTICS LAYER
-
- - **Graphs improvements**: Updated Packet Latency graphs,
- see :ref:`latency_methodology`.

-List of known issues in |csit-release| for VPP performance tests:
-
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| # | JiraID | Issue Description |
-+====+=========================================+===========================================================================================================+
-| 1 | `CSIT-1782 | Multicore AVF tests are failing when trying to create interface. The issue persists after FVL FW upgrade. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1782>`_ | |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 2 | `CSIT-1763 | Adapt ramp-up phase of nat44 tests for different frame sizes. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1763>`_ | Currently ramp-up phase rate and duration values are correctly set for tests with 64B frame size. |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 3 | `CSIT-1671 | All CSIT scale tests can not use PAPI due to much slower performance compared to VAT/CLI (it takes much |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1671>`_ | longer to program VPP). This needs to be addressed on the PAPI side. |
-| +-----------------------------------------+ The usual PAPI library spends too much time parsing arguments, so even with async processing (hundreds of |
-| | `VPP-1763 | commands in flight over socket), the VPP configuration for large scale tests (millions of messages) takes |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/VPP-1763>`_ | too long. |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 4 | `CSIT-1789 | AVF driver does not perform RSS in a deterministic way. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1789>`_ | This increases standard deviation of tests with small number of flows (mainly ipsec). |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 5 | `CSIT-1780 | IPSEC SW async scheduler MRR tests failing with no traffic forwarded. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1780>`_ | |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 6 | `CSIT-1786 | IP4 and IP6 scale tests failing with no traffic forwarded. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1786>`_ | Issue reported to VPP devs. |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 7 | `CSIT-1785 | NAT44ED tests failing to establish all TCP sessions. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1785>`_ | |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 8 | `CSIT-1791 | Performance regression in RDMA tests, due to CSIT environment changes. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1791>`_ | |
