 Changes in CSIT |release|
 -------------------------
 
-#. Test environment changes in VPP data plane performance tests:
-
-   - Further characterization and optimizations of VPP vhost-user and VM test
-     methodology and test environment;
-
-     - Tests with varying Qemu virtio queue (a.k.a. vring) sizes:
-       [vr256] default 256 descriptors, [vr1024] 1024 descriptors to
-       optimize for packet throughput;
-
-     - Tests with varying Linux :abbr:`CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler)`
-       settings: [cfs] default settings, [cfsrr1] :abbr:`CFS (Completely Fair
-       Scheduler)` RoundRobin(1) policy applied to all data plane threads
-       handling test packet path including all VPP worker threads and all Qemu
-       testpmd poll-mode threads;
-
-     - Resulting test cases are all combinations with [vr256,vr1024] and
-       [cfs,cfsrr1] settings;
