# CSIT 24.10 - VPP Performance
1. TEST FRAMEWORK
+ - **Decommissioned** multiple testbeds: 2n-clx, 2n-tx2 and 3n-tsh.
- **CSIT test environment** version 15 is used, see
[Environment Versioning]({{< ref "../../../infrastructure/fdio_csit_testbed_versioning" >}}).
- **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing code optimizations and bug fixes.
2. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
-
+ - Re-added a small selection of 1-link bonding tests.
+ - Deleted memif-lxc tests.
+ - Stopped running density and reconf tests on 2n-icx and 2n-zn2.
+ - Deleted vhostvr1024-1vm tests from 3na-spr and 3nb-spr during release testing.
3. PRESENTATION AND ANALYTICS LAYER
- Max value on time axis has been set to utc.now
