+Current vs. Previous Release

+Relative comparison of DPDK Testpmd and L3fwd packet throughput (NDR,
+PDR and MRR) between |dpdk-release| and DPDK-18.02 (measured for |csit-
+release| and |csit-release-1| respectively) is calculated from results
+of tests running on 3-Node Intel Xeon Haswell testbeds (3n-hsw) in
+1-core, 2-core and 4-core (MRR only) configurations.

+Current vs. Previous Release
+----------------------------
+
+Relative comparison of VPP packet throughput (NDR, PDR and MRR) between
+|vpp-release| and |vpp-release-1| (measured for |csit-release| and
+|csit-release-1| respectively) is calculated from results of tests
+running on 3-Node Intel Xeon Haswell testbeds (3n-hsw) in 1-core, 2-core
+and 4-core (MRR only) configurations.
+
+Listed mean and standard deviation values are computed based on a series
+of the same tests executed against respective VPP releases to verify
+test results repeatability, with percentage change calculated for mean
+values. Note that the standard deviation is quite high for a small
+number of packet throughput tests, what indicates poor test results
+repeatability and makes the relative change of mean throughput value not
+fully representative for these tests. The root causes behind poor
+results repeatability vary between the test cases.

-Throughput Trending
--------------------
-
-In addition to reporting throughput changes between VPP releases, CSIT
-provides continuous performance trending for VPP master branch:
-
-#. `VPP Performance Dashboard <https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/trending/introduction/index.html>`_
- - per VPP test case throughput trend, trend compliance and summary of
- detected anomalies.
-
-#. `Trending Methodology <https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/trending/methodology/index.html>`_
- - throughput test metrics, trend calculations and anomaly
- classification (progression, regression, outlier).
-
-#. `Trendline Graphs <https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/trending/trending/index.html>`_
- - per VPP build MRR throughput measurements against the trendline
- with anomaly highlights, with associated CSIT test jobs.
