 #. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
 
    - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added higher NF density tests with
-     802.1q (vlan) and 802.1ad (vxlan) encapsulation from Traffic Generator.
+     IPSec encencryption between DUTs.
 
-   - **GBP tests**: Added GBP routing test cases with 802.1q (vlan) external
-     traffic.
+   - **AVF tests**: Full test coveraged based on code changes in CSIT core
+     layer (driver/interface awareness) and generated by suite generator
+     (Fortville NICs only).
 
-   - **AVF IPv4 scale tests**: Increased coverage of AVF IPv4 base and scale
-     test cases.
-
-   - **2n-skx tests**: Increased coverage of selected (COP, iACL, Policer)
-     test cases.
-
-   - **IPsec scale tests**: Added IPsec interface mode scale tests with
-     1, 40, 400, 1000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 40000, 60000 tunnels. Removed DPDK
-     backend dependency.
+   - **Hoststack TCP/IP tests**: Major refactor of Hoststack TCP
+     performance tests using WRK generator talking to the VPP HTTP
+     static server plugin measuring connections per second and
+     requests per second.
 
 #. TEST FRAMEWORK
 
-   - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Finished conversion of CSIT VAT L1 keywords to
-     PAPI L1 KWs in CSIT using VPP Python bindings. Redesign of key components
-     of PAPI Executor and PAPI history. Currently the only exception is
-     usage of VAT command for scale configuration.
+   - **CSIT Python3 Support**: Full migration of CSIT from Python2.7 to
+     Python3.6. This change includes library migration, PIP dependency upgrade,
+     CSIT container images, infrastructure packages ugrade/installation.
+
+   - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Finished conversion of CSIT VAT L1 keywords
+     to PAPI L1 KWs in CSIT using VPP Python bindings (VPP PAPI).
+     Redesign of key components of PAPI Socket Executor and PAPI
+     history. 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 RF keywords optimizations,
      removal of redundant RF keywords and aligning of suite/test
