 \r
-    - vhost-user tests with VM\r
+     - For more detail see performance results observations section in\r
+       this report;\r
 \r
-      - L2 Bridge Domain switched-forwarding with Intel x710 NIC\r

-Performance Improvements - to be updated\r
+#. Changes to CSIT driver for TRex Traffic Generator:\r
+\r
+   - Complete refactor of TRex CSIT driver;\r
+\r
+   - Introduction of packet traffic profiles to improve usability and\r
+     manageability of traffic profiles for a growing number of test\r
+     scenarios.\r
+\r
+   - Support for packet traffic profiles to test IPv4/IPv6 stateful and\r
+     stateless DUT data plane features;\r
+\r
+#. Added VPP performance tests\r
+\r
+   - **Linux Container VPP memif virtual interface tests**\r
+\r
+     - VPP Memif virtual interface (shared memory interface) tests\r
+       interconnecting VPP instances over memif. VPP vswitch\r
+       instance runs in bare-metal user-mode handling Intel x520 NIC\r
+       10GbE interfaces and connecting over memif (Master side) virtual\r
+       interfaces to another instance of VPP running in bare-metal Linux\r
+       Container (LXC) with memif virtual interfaces (Slave side). LXC\r
+       runs in a priviliged mode with VPP data plane worker threads\r
+       pinned to dedicated physical CPU cores per usual CSIT practice.\r
+       Both VPP run the same version of software. This test topology is\r
+       equivalent to existing tests with vhost-user and VMs.\r
+\r
+   - **Stateful Security Groups**\r
+\r
+     - New tests of VPP stateful security-groups a.k.a. acl-plugin\r
+       functionally compatible with networking-vpp OpenStack;\r
+\r
+     - New tested security-groups access-control-lists (acl)\r
+       configuration variants include: [iaclNsl] input acl stateless,\r
+       [oaclNsl] output acl stateless, [iaclNsf] input acl stateful\r
+       a.k.a. reflect, [oaclNsf] output acl stateful a.k.a. reflect,\r
+       where N is number of access-control-entries (ace) in the acl.\r
+\r
+     - Testing packet flows transmitted by TG: 100, 10k, 100k, always\r
+       hitting the last permit entry in acl.\r
+\r
+   - **VPP vhost and VM tests**\r
+\r
+     - New VPP vhost-user and VM test cases to benchmark performance of\r
+       VPP and VM topologies with Qemu and CFS policy combinations of\r
+       [vr256,vr1024] x [cfs,cfsrr1];\r
+\r
+     - Statistical analysis of repeatibility of results;\r
