+Performance Improvements
+------------------------
+
+Substantial improvements in measured packet throughput, with relative increase
+of double-digit percentage points, have been observed in a number of CSIT
+|release| tests listed below. Relative improvements are calculated against the
+test results in CSIT rls1609 report.

+
+Measured improvements are in line with VPP code optimizations listed in
+`VPP-17.01 release notes
+<https://docs.fd.io/vpp/17.01/release_notes_1701.html>`_.
+
+Additionally, vhost-VM performance improvements are due to both VPP code
+optimizations as well as due to the FD.io CSIT Linux KVM test environment
+optimizations for vhost-VM tests - see section "2.1.7. Methodology: KVM VM
+vhost".
+
+
+Other Performance Changes
+-------------------------
+
+Other changes in measured packet throughput, with either minor relative
+increase or decrease, have been observed in a number of CSIT |release| tests
+listed below. Relative changes are calculated against the test results in CSIT
+rls1609 report.

+Known Issues
+------------
+
+Here is the list of known issues in CSIT |release| for VPP performance tests:
+
++---+-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
+| # | Issue | Description |
++---+-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
+| 1 | Sporadic IPv4 routed-forwarding NDR discovery | Suspected issue with DPDK IPv4 checksum calculation. |
+| | test failures for 1518B frame size | Observed frequency: sporadic, ca. 20% to 30% of test runs. |
++---+-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
+| 2 | Vic1385 and Vic1227 NICs jumbo frames test | Suspected issue with VIC DPDK drivers that do not support jumbo |
+| | failures (9000B) | frames (dropped rx-miss). Observed frequency: 100%. |
++---+-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
+| 3 | Vic1385 and Vic1227 performance | Low performance of NDR results. Big difference between NDR and |
+| | | PDR. . |
++---+-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
+| 4 | Sporadic NDR discovery test failures on x520 | Suspected issue with HW settings (BIOS, FW) in LF |
+| | | infrastructure. Issue can't be replicated outside LF. |
++---+-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
+| 5 | Non-repeatible zig-zagging NDR throughput | Suspected NIC driver issue in multi-thread multi-core operation |
+| | results for multi-thread multi-core tests | affectin NDR throughput. Applies to XL710 and X710 NICs tested. |
+| | - 2t2c, 4t4c - for some tested NICs. | |
++---+-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Tests to be Added - Cryptodev
+-----------------------------
+
+DPDK Cryptodev functionality support for both SW and HW crypto devices has
+been introduced in VPP-17.01 release. CSIT functional and performance tests
+have been also developed and merged. However due to the factors beyond CSIT
+project control execution of those tests within the LF FD.io test environment
+still need to complete. Once the results become available, they will be
+published as an addendum to the current version of CSIT |release| report.
+
+Tests to be Added - SNAT44
+--------------------------
+
+VPP SNAT44 functionality has been introduced in VPP-17.01 release. CSIT
+performance tests are still in development and integration into LFD FD.io test
+environment. Once the tests are fully integrated and results become available,
+they will be published as an addendum to the current version of CSIT |release|
+report.
