 #. DPDK PERFORMANCE TESTS
 
-   - **Intel Xeon 2n-skx, 3n-skx testbeds**: Testpmd and L3fwd
-     performance test data is not included in this report version.
-     This is due to the lower performance and behaviour inconsistency
-     of these systems following the upgrade of processor microcode
-     packages (skx ucode 0x2000064) as part of updating Ubuntu 18.04
-     LTS kernel version. Tested VPP and DPDK applications (L3fwd) are
-     affected. Skx test data will be added in subsequent maintenance
-     report version(s) once the issue is resolved. See
-     :ref:`dpdk_known_issues`.
+   - Refactor of CSIT initialization helper scripts for DPDK testpmd
+     and l3fwd. Removing obsolete parameters from DPDK testpmd and l3fwd
+     command line.
 
-   - **Intel Xeon 2n-clx testbeds**: DPDK performance test data is now
-     included in this report, after resolving the issue of lower
-     performance and behaviour inconsistency of these systems due to
-     the Linux kernel driven upgrade of processor microcode packages
-     to 0x500002c. The resolution is to use latest SuperMicro BIOS 3.2
-     (for X11DPG-QT motherboards used) that upgrades processor
-     microcode to 0x500002c, AND NOT kernel provided ucode package as
-     it does put THE system into sub-optimal state.
+   - Fixed 9000B L2 packet size tests not passing for all NICs.
 
+   - Fixed DPDK compilation and test initialization of Mellanox NICs using
+     CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MLX5_PMD=y in compile configuration.
 
 #. DPDK RELEASE VERSION CHANGE
 
    - |csit-release| tested |dpdk-release|, as used by |vpp-release|.
 
-#. TEST ENVIRONMENT
-
-   - **TRex Fortville NIC Performance**: Received FVL fix from Intel
-     resolving TRex low throughput issue. TRex per FVL NIC throughput
-     increased from ~27 Mpps to the nominal ~37 Mpps. For detail see
-     `CSIT-1503 <https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1503>`_ and `TRex-519
-     <https://trex-tgn.cisco.com/youtrack/issue/trex-519>`_].
-
-   - **New Intel Xeon Cascadelake Testbeds**: Added performance tests
-     for 2-Node-Cascadelake (2n-clx) testbeds with x710, xxv710 and
-     cx556a-edat NIC cards.
-
-..
-    // Alternative Note for 1st Bullet when bad microcode Skx, Clx results are published
-    - **Intel Xeon 2n-skx, 3n-skx and 2n-clx testbeds**: Testpmd and
-      L3fwd performance test data is included in this report version,
-      but it shows lower performance and behaviour inconsistency of
-      these systems following the upgrade of processor microcode
-      packages (skx ucode 0x2000064, clx ucode 0x500002c) as part of
-      updating Ubuntu 18.04 LTS kernel version. Tested VPP and DPDK
-      applications (L3fwd) are affected. Skx and Clx test data will be
-      corrected in subsequent maintenance report version(s) once the
-      issue is resolved. See :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
