-Release Notes
-=============
-
-Changes in |csit-release|
--------------------------
-
-#. VPP PERFORMANCE 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
-
- - **Removed ASTF PPS tests**: They provide no real benefit
- compared to TPUT tests. The ip4base variants renamed to TPUT.
-
- - **Changed TCP TPUT profiles**: The previous ones were found to be faulty.
- The new ones do not use bursts of packets to avoid CSIT-1830 and CSIT-1846.
-
- - **CSIT test environment** version has been updated to ver. 10, see
- :ref:`test_environment_versioning`.
-
- - **CSIT PAPI support**: Due to issues with PAPI performance, and
- deprecation of VAT, VPP CLI is used in CSIT for many VPP scale
- tests. See :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
-
- - **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing code optimizations and bug
- fixes.
-
-#. PRESENTATION AND ANALYTICS LAYER
-
- - **Graphs improvements**: Updated Packet Latency graphs,
- see :ref:`latency_methodology`.

-| # | JiraID | Issue Description |
-+====+=========================================+===========================================================================================================+
-| 1 | `CSIT-1799 | All NAT44-ED 16M scale tests fail while setting NAT44 address range. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1799>`_ | |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 2 | `CSIT-1800 | All Geneve L3 mode scale tests (1024 tunnels) are failing. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1800>`_ | |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 3 | `CSIT-1802 | AF-XDP - NDR tests failing from time to time. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1802>`_ | |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 4 | `CSIT-1803 | 3n-icx testbeds (Icelake): all IMIX aes128cbc-hmac512sha tests are failing due to excessive packet loss. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1803>`_ | |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 5 | `CSIT-1804 | 3n-tsh, 3n-alt testbed (Taishan, Altra): NDR tests failing from time to time. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1804>`_ | |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 6 | `CSIT-1812 | All IMIX NAT44DET 4m 16m scale tests fail due to not creating required session count. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1812>`_ | |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 7 | `CSIT-1782 | Multicore AVF tests are failing when trying to create interface. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1782>`_ | Frequency is reduced by CSIT workaround, but occasional failures do still happen. |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 8 | `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. |
-| +-----------------------------------------+ Currently, the time critical code uses VAT running large files with exec statements and CLI commands. |
-| | `VPP-1763 | Still, we needed to reduce the number of scale tests run to keep overall duration reasonable. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/VPP-1763>`_ | More improvements needed to achieve sufficient configuration speed. |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 9 | `CSIT-1785 | NAT44ED tests failing to establish all TCP sessions. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1785>`_ | At least for max scale, in allotted time (limited by session 500s timeout) due to worse |
-| +-----------------------------------------+ slow path performance than previously measured and calibrated for. |
-| | `VPP-1972 | CSIT removed the max scale NAT tests to avoid this issue. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/VPP-1972>`_ | |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 10 | `CSIT-1801 | 9000B payload frames not forwarded over tunnels due to violating supported Max Frame Size (VxLAN, LISP, |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1801>`_ | SRv6). |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 11 | `CSIT-1808 | All tests with 9000B payload frames not forwarded over memif interfaces. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1808>`_ | |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 12 | `CSIT-1809 | All tests with 9000B payload frames not forwarded over vhostuser interfaces. |

-Issues reported in previous releases which were fixed in this release:
-
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| # | JiraID | Issue Description |
-+====+=========================================+===========================================================================================================+
-| 1 | `CSIT-1810 | DPDK - performance regression with DPDK driver when Max Frame Size is set to less than 2023. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1810>`_ | |
-| +-----------------------------------------+ |
-| | `VPP-1876 | Worse performance with DPDK driver when MTU is set to 2022 or less. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/VPP-1876>`_ | |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 2 | `CSIT-1811 | All 9000B NAT44DET 64k 1m scale tests fail due to bps rate set to high on TRex. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1811>`_ | |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 3 | `CSIT-1791 | Performance regression in RDMA tests, due to CSIT environment changes. |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1791>`_ | Two symptoms: 1. 10-20% regression across most tests. 2. DUT performance cap just below 38 Mpps. |

-
-List of RCAs in |csit-release| for VPP performance changes:
-
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| # | JiraID | Issue Description |
-+====+=========================================+=====================================================================================+
-| 1 | `CSIT-1851 | trending regression: various icelake tests around 2202-04-15 |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1851>`_ | Somewhat expected consequence of a VPP usability fix, |
-| | | the previous VPP compiler version was too new for the OS used. |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 2 | `VPP-2030 | regression: ip6base on ICX around 2022-03-23 |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/VPP-2030>`_ | "Loads blocked due to overlapping with a preceding store that cannot be forwarded." |
-| | | started happening in ip6-lookup graph node. |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 3 | `CSIT-1852 | 2n-zn2 mellanox performance cap |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1852>`_ | Old issue, only now distinguished from CSIT-1751. |
-| | | This testbed+nic combination is capped below 28 Mpps, cause not identified yet. |
-+----+-----------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| 4 | `CSIT-1853 | trending regression: nat44ed cps around 2202-04-01 |
-| | <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1853>`_ | VPP change added more computation to slow path (in order to support multiple VRFs). |
-| | | Not clear if the VPP implementation is optimized enough. |
