+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
+ `VPP v2202 release notes <https://s3-docs.fd.io/vpp/22.02/aboutvpp/releasenotes/v22.02.html>`_
+ and :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
+
+ - **Intel Xeon Ice Lake**: Performance test data for these platforms
+ is now provided by testbeds newly installed in FD.io CSIT labs.
+ For details about the physical setup see
+ :ref:`physical_testbeds_2n_icx` and
+ :ref:`physical_testbeds_3n_icx`.
+
+ - **Arm Ampere Altra**: Performance test data for these platforms
+ is now provided by testbeds newly installed in FD.io CSIT labs.
+ For details about the physical setup see
+ :ref:`physical_testbeds_3n_alt`.
+
+ - **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.
+
+ - **RC2 coverage test data is used for 2n-icx test bed**: There is only
+ one 2n-icx test bed and the amount of tests is large (same as 2n-skx with 4
+ test beds), so we decided to use test data already available from RC2
+ testing.
+
+#. TEST FRAMEWORK
+
+ - **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-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. |
