 #. Added VPP performance tests
 
-   - **L2BD MAC scale tests**
+   - **Container Topologies Orchestrated by K8s with VPP memif tests**
 
-     - VPP L2 Bridge-Domain with MAC learning and large size L2FIB (10k,
-       100k, 1M MACs), tested in NIC-to-NIC and VM vhost topologies.
+   - Added tests with VPP in L2 Cross-Connect and Bridge-Domain
+     configurations containers, with service chain topologies orchestrated by
+     Kubernetes. Added following forwarding topologies: i) "Parallel" with
+     packets flowing from NIC via VPP to container and back to VPP and NIC;
+     ii) "Chained" a.k.a. "Snake" with packets flowing via VPP to container,
+     back to VPP, to next container, back to VPP and so on until the last
+     container in chain, then back to VPP and NIC; iii) "Horizontal" with
+     packets flowing via VPP to container, then via "horizontal" memif to
+     next container, and so on until the last container, then back to VPP and
+     NIC;.
 
-   - **Linux Container VPP memif tests**
+   - **VPP TCP/IP stack**
 
-     - Tests with VPP in L2 Bridge-Domain configuration connecting over
-       memif virtual interfaces to VPPs running in LXCs;
+     - Added tests for VPP TCP/IP stack using VPP built-in HTTP server.
+       WRK traffic generator is used as a client-side.
 
-   - **Docker Container VPP memif tests**
+   - **SRv6 tests**
 
-     - Tests with VPP in L2 Cross-Connect configuration connecting over
-       memif virtual interfaces VPPs running in Docker containers;
+     - Initial SRv6 tests verifying performance of SRv6 encapsulation and
+       decapsulation and SID lookups.
 
-   - **Container Topologies Orchestrated by K8s with VPP memif tests**
+   - **IPSecSW tests**
 
-     - Tests with VPP in L2 Cross-Connect and Bridge-Domain configurations
-       connecting over memif virtual interfaces VPPs running in Docker
-       containers, with service chain topologies orchestrated by Kubernetes;
+     - SW computed IPSec encryption with AES-GCM, CBC-SHA1 ciphers, in
+       combination with IPv4 routed-forwarding.
 
-   - **Stateful Security Groups**
+#. Presentation and Analytics Layer
 
-     - m-thread m-core VPP stateful and stateless security-groups tests;
+     - Added throughput speedup analysis for multi-core and multi-thread
+       VPP tests into Presentation and Analytics Layer (PAL) for automated
+       CSIT test results analysis;
 
-   - **MAC-IP binding**
+#. Other improvements
 
-     - MACIP input access-lists, single-thread single-core and m-thread
-       m-core tests;
+     - **Framework optimizations**
 
-#. Presentation and Analytics Layer
+       - Ability to run CSIT framework on ARM architecture.
 
-     - New Presentation and Analytics Layer (PAL) for automated CSIT test
-       results analysis and presentation, including statistical analysis
-       of results repeatibility and test report auto-generation;
+       - Overall stability improvements.
