-Release Notes
-=============
-
-Changes in |csit-release|
--------------------------
-
-#. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
-
- - CSIT test environment is versioned, see
- :ref:`test_environment_versioning`.
-
- - **Upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS**: Reinstall base operating system to
- Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS. Upgrade includes also baseline Docker
- containers used for spawning topology.
-
- - Initial test data for Intel Xeon Ice Lake platforms. Current
- CSIT-2106 report data for Intel Xeon Ice Lake comes from an
- external source (Intel labs running CSIT code on 8360Y D Stepping
- and 6338N processors). For detail about the physical setup
- see :ref:`tested_physical_topologies`. Tested VPP and CSIT
- versions are pre-release, VPP 21.06-rc0~779-gd640ae52f.
-
- - **AF_XDP**: Added af_xdp driver testing for all testcases.
-
- - **GTPU tunnel**: Added GTPU HW Offload IPv4 routing tests.
-
- - **Telemetry retouch**: Redesign telemetry retrieval from DUT.
- Include VPP perfmon plugin telemetry.
-
-#. TEST FRAMEWORK
-
- - **CSIT PAPI support**: Due to issues with PAPI performance, VAT is
- still used in CSIT for all VPP scale tests. See known issues below.
-
- - **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing code optimizations,
- speed ups 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. |
-| | <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. |

-| 1 | `VPP-1972 | One VPP change has decreased performance of NAT44ed processing, both slow path and fast path. |
