CSIT-2110 Release Summary
-------------------------
 
BENCHMARK TESTS
 
- Intel Xeon Ice Lake: Added test data for these platforms. Current CSIT-2110
  report data for Intel Xeon Ice Lake comes from an external source (Intel
  labs running CSIT code on “8360Y D Stepping” and “6338N” processors).
 
- MLRsearch improvements: Added support for multiple packet throughput rates
  in a single search, each rate is associated with a distinct Packet Loss Ratio
  (PLR) criterion. Previously only Non Drop Rate (NDR) (PLR=0) and single
  Partial Drop Rate (PDR) (PLR<0.5%) were supported. Implemented number of
  optimizations improving rate discovery efficiency.
 
- TREX performance tests: Added initial tests for testing latency between 2
  ports on nic on the TRex. Added tests: IP4Base, IP4scale2m, IP6Base,
  IP6scale2m, L2bscale1mmaclrn.
 
TEST FRAMEWORK
 
- CSIT test environment version has been updated to ver. 8: Intel NIC 700/800
  series firmware upgrade based on DPDK compatibility matrix.
 
- CSIT in AWS environment: Added CSIT support for AWS c5n instances
  environment.
