+Anatomy of existing CSIT telemetry implementation
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+Existing implementation consists of several measurment building blocks:
+the main measuring block running search algorithms (MLR, PLR, SOAK, MRR, ...),
+the latency measuring block and the several telemetry blocks with or without
+traffic running on a background.
+
+The main measuring block must not be interrupted by any read operation that can
+impact data plane traffic processing during throughput search algorithm. Thus
+operational reads are done before (pre-stat) and after (post-stat) that block.
+
+Some operational reads must be done while traffic is running and usually
+consists of two reads (pre-run-stat, post-run-stat) with defined delay between
+them.

+Improving existing solution
+---------------------------
+
+Improving existing CSIT telemetry implementaion including these areas.
+
+- telemetry optimization
+ - reducing ssh overhead
+ - removing stats without added value
+- telemetry scheduling
+ - improve accuracy
+ - improve configuration
+- telemetry output
+ - standardize output
+
+Exesting stats implementation was abstracted to having pre-/post-run-stats
+phases. Improvement will be done by merging pre-/post- logic implementation into
+separated stat-runtime block configurable and locally executed on SUT.
+
+This will increase precision, remove complexity and move implementation into
+spearated module.
+
+OpenMetric format for cloud native metric capturing will be used to ensure
+integration with post processing module.
