 #. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
 
-   - **Intel Xeon 2n-skx, 3n-skx testbeds**: VPP performance test data
-     is now included in this report version. Due to substantial impact
-     of test environment changes (applied during the CSIT-2001
-     development cycle) on the performance of VPP software, a new
-     approach to performance comparison and progression/regression
-     root cause analysis (RCA) has been applied.
-
-     - CSIT test environment is now versioned, with ver. 1 associated
-       with CSIT rls1908 git branch as of 2019-08-21, and ver. 2
-       associated with CSIT rls2001 git branch as of 2020-03-27.
-
-     - To identify performance changes due to CSIT test environment
-       changes from ver. 1 to ver. 2, VPP v19.08.1 has been re-tested in
-       ver. 2 and compared against the past results obtained with
-       testing in ver. 1. Separate RCA1 analysis has been applied to
-       this part. See :ref:`vpp_compare_current_vs_previous_release` and
-       :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
-
-     - To identify performance changes due to VPP code changes from
-       v19.08.1 to v20.01.0, the latter has been tested in CSIT
-       environment ver. 2 and compared against the former tested in CSIT
-       environment ver. 1. Separate RCA2 analysis has been applied to
-       this part. See :ref:`vpp_compare_current_vs_previous_release` and
-       :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
-
-   - **Intel Xeon 2n-clx testbeds**: VPP performance test data is now
-     included in this report. See :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
-
-   - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added new NF density tests with
-     IPsec encryption between DUTs.
-
-   - **AVF tests**: Full test coveraged based on code changes in CSIT
-     core layer (driver/interface awareness) and generated by suite
-     generator (Intel Fortville NICs only).
-
-   - **Hoststack tests**: Major refactor of VPP Hoststack TCP/IP
-     performance tests using WRK generator talking to the VPP HTTP
-     static server plugin measuring connections per second and
-     requests per second. Added new iperf3 with LDPreload tests,
-     iperf3/LDPreload tests with packet loss induced via the VPP NSIM
-     (Network Simulator) plugin, and QUIC/UDP/IP transport tests.
-     All of the new tests measure goodput through the VPP Hoststack
-     from client to server.
-
-   - **Latency HDRHistogram**: Added High Dynamic Range Histogram
-     latency measurements based on the new capability in TRex traffic
-     generator. HDRH latency data presented in latency packet
-     percentile graphs and in detailed results tables.
-
-   - **Mellanox CX556A-EDAT tests**: Added tests with Mellanox
-     ConnectX5-2p100GE NICs in 2n-clx testbeds using VPP native rdma
-     driver.
-
-   - **IPsec reconfiguration tests**: Added tests measuring the impact
-     of IPsec tunnels creations and removals.
-
-   - **Load Balancer tests**: Added VPP performance tests for Maglev,
-     L3DSR (Direct Server Return), Layer 4 Load Balancing NAT Mode.
-
-#. TEST FRAMEWORK
+   - **Enhanced and added VPP hoststack tests** to daily and weekly

+     LD_PRELOAD NGINX.
 
-   - **CSIT Python3 support**: Full migration of CSIT from Python2.7 to

-     ugrade/installation.
+   - **Added Nvidia/Mellanox DPDK tests** to daily and weekly trending
+     and report, in addition to RDMA_CORE ones that were already
+     there.
 
-   - **CSIT PAPI support**: Finished conversion of CSIT VAT L1 keywords

-     replaced with packet latency percentile distributon at different
-     background packet loads based on TRex latency hdrhistogram
-     measurements.

-    // Alternative Note for 1st Bullet when bad microcode Skx, Clx results are published
-    - **Intel Xeon 2n-skx, 3n-skx and 2n-clx testbeds**: VPP performance
-      test data is included in this report version, but it shows lower
-      performance and behaviour inconsistency of these systems
-      following the upgrade of processor microcode packages (skx ucode
-      0x2000064, clx ucode 0x500002c) as part of updating Ubuntu 18.04
-      LTS kernel version. Tested VPP and DPDK applications (L3fwd) are
-      affected. Skx and Clx test data will be corrected in subsequent
-      maintenance report version(s) once the issue is resolved. See
-      :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
+   - `Performance dashboard <http://csit.fd.io/>`_ got updated with
+     addition of VPP telemetry trending across all VPP tests. A number
