- **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.
#. TEST FRAMEWORK
- - **Removed ASTF PPS tests**: They provide no real benefit
- compared to TPUT tests. The ip4base variants renamed to TPUT.
