| - IPv6 ILA | |
| - iOAM | |
| - Load Balancer | |
| - SNAT | |
| * High-performance (line-rate) “neutron like” L4 port-filtering | |
| * API refactoring - addressing some of the issues around JVPP bindings | |
| - Accommodating plugins (e.g. NSH_SFC) | |
| - Binding for python | |
| * LISP | |

| * Performance, characterize and document performance for this release (more information on CSIT page) | |
| - IPv4 and IPv6 Scale - performance tests | |
| + Bidirectional 10k/100k/1M flows | |
| + 64B,570B, 1518B,9000B packet sizes | |
| - IPv6 iACL - performance | |
| + DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with IPv6 routing, two static IPv6 /64 routes and IPv6 iAcl security whitelist ingress /64 filter entries applied on links | |
| + TG traffic profile contains two L3 flow-groups (flow-group per direction, 253 flows per flow-group) with all packets containing Ethernet header, IPv6 header and generated payload | |
| + MAC addresses are matching MAC addresses of the TG node interfaces | |
| - L2XC VXLANoIPv4 - performance | |
| + DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with L2 cross-connect. VXLAN tunnels are configured between L2XCs on DUT1 and DUT2 | |
| + TG traffic profile contains two L3 flow-groups (flow-group per direction, 253 flows per flow-group) with all packets containing Ethernet header, IPv4 header with IP protocol=61 and generated payload | |
| + MAC addresses are matching MAC addresses of the TG node interfaces | |
