 #. **VPP performance tests**
 
-   - *MRR tests* - New Maximum Receive Rate tests measure the packet
-     forwarding rate under the maximum load offered by traffic
-     generator over a set trial duration, regardless of packet loss.
-     MRR tests are used for continuous performance trending and for
-     comparison between releases.

-   - *Service Chaining with SRv6* - New SRv6 (Segment Routing IPv6) proxy
-     tests measure performance of SRv6 Endpoint fronting SR-unaware
-     appliance via masquerading (End.AM), dynamic proxy (End.AD) or
-     static proxy (End.AS) SR functions.
+   - *MLR tests* - NDR and PDR tests measure the packet forwarding rate using
+     MLRsearch library by traffic generator. All tests that previously used
+     binary search were converted to MLRsearch.
+
+   - *L2patch tests* - Tests measure performance of L2patch, cross linking
+     RX and TX of two physical interfaces.
+
+   - *2-node tests* - Baseline set of 2-node tests covering base ip4, ip4,
+     l2patch, l2bd, l2xc.
+
+   - *Generated tests* - Simplified and unified test structure,
+     semi-autogenerated by generator script. Test generator is currently able
+     to create test combinations with various frame size and cores combinations.
+     All existing test cases were converted to new format.
+
+   - *Simultaneous multithreading* - SMT-aware automatic detection and
+     resource configuration including thread affinity, number of rx queues and
+     DPDK I/O mbufs. Tests are automatically tagged during execution indicating
+     configuration.
+
+  - *Intel Skylake* - Topologies consisting of 2-node and 3-node using
+    SuperMirco servers each equipped with two Intel Xeon Skylake Platinum
+    processors.
