 #. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
 
-   - **BMRR Throughput**: MRR (Maximum Receive Rate) test code has been
-     updated with a configurable burst MRR parameters: trial duration
-     and number of trials in a single burst. Enables a new Burst MRR
-     (BMRR for short) methodology for more precise performance
-     trending. See updated :ref:`test_methodology` section
-     for more details.
-
-   - **2n-skx tests**: Added performamce tests for 2n-skx (2-Node Xeon
-     Skylake) testbeds: focus on baseline and scale tests, including
-     VM vhost and Container memif tests.
-
-   - **3n-skx tests**: Added performamce tests for 3n-skx (3-Node Xeon
-     Skylake) testbeds: VM vhost and Container memif tests.
-
-   - **VXLAN Scale Tests**: Added performamce tests for VXLAN scale with
-     dot1q and VPP L2BD.
-
-   - **AVF Driver Tests**: Added performamce tests for i40e AVF driver
-     on VPP, no DPDK required.
-
-   - **QAT**: Fixed reoccuring issues with QAT crypto accelerator cards.
-
-   - **VM Vhost Virtio Params Combinations**: Added performance tests
-     for VM vhost with different virtio parameters combinations:
-     indirect buffers, mergeable buffers.
-
-   - **K8s/Ligato in Trending**: Added K8s/Ligato Container memif tests
-     to daily trending.
-
-#. TEST FRAMEWORK
+   - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
+     service density tests focus on measuring total per server throughput at
+     varied NFV service *packing* densities with vswitch providing host
+     dataplane. The goal is to compare and contrast performance of a shared
+     vswitch for different network topologies and virtualization technologies,
+     and their impact on vswitch performance and efficiency in a range of NFV
+     service configurations.
 
    - **Experimental Soak Tests**: Added performamce soak tests framework
      code for extended time duration tests and throughput discovery

-   - **Trending Tests BMRR**: Used new Burst MRR (BMRR) tests for daily
-     trending.
-
-   - **Per VPP Patch Performance Checks**: Per VPP gerrit patch vs.
-     parent performance tests, anomaly detection and no verify voting
-     (-1/0/+1) yet. Manual trigger only. Not "marketed" to FD.io
-     community yet to avoid excessive LFN FD.io physical performance
-     testbed blocking.
+#. TEST FRAMEWORK
 
-   - **Patch-on-Patch Infra**: Added capability to run performance tests
-     using CSIT gerrit patch code testing VPP gerrit patch code, i.e.
-     before any VPP and/or CSIT code is merged into git branch.
+   - **Container code optimizations**: Optimized container library allows to
+     run containre_memif tests faster.
 
-   - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Initial implementation of PAPI L1 KWs in
-     CSIT using VPP Python bindings. Required for migraing away from
-     VAT. Very few L1 KWs implemented ("show version", "show
-     interfaces").
+   - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Continue converting existing VAT L1 keywords to
+     PAPI L1 KWs in CSIT using VPP Python bindings. Required for migrating away
+     from VAT.
 
    - **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing RF keywords optimizations,
      removal of redundant RF keywords.
