+Release Notes
+=============
+
+Changes in |csit-release|
+-------------------------
+
+#. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
+
+   - **Regressions with DPDK drivers**: Change from DPDK v21.08 to DPDK
+     v21.11 introduced regression across all tests using dpdk
+     drivers (with dpdk_plugin loaded). Compared to previous VPP
+     release performance drop varies in the range of -15% to -6%,
+     depending on test. It is related to updated MTU checks within
+     DPDK code and associated VPP code changes. See
+     `VPP v2202 release notes <https://s3-docs.fd.io/vpp/22.02/aboutvpp/releasenotes/v22.02.html>`_
+     and :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
+
+   - **Number of CSIT 9000B frame tests failing**: tests with higher
+     encapsulation overhead are failing due to exceeding default
+     Ethernet Maximum Frame Size value that has been reduced by MTU
+     related VPP code changes. See

+   - **Intel Xeon Ice Lake**: Performance test data for these platforms
+     is now provided by testbeds newly installed in FD.io CSIT labs.

+
+   - **Reduction of tests**: Removed certain test variations executed

++====+=========================================+===========================================================================================================+
+|  1 | `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.                         |
++----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+|  2 | `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.                                       |
++----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+|  3 | `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>`_  |                                                                                                           |
++----+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+|  4 | `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.          |
