-Not applicable.
+* No reference design updates in this release
 
 Description::
 
 The CNO deploys and manages the cluster network components including the default OVN-Kubernetes network plugin during {product-title} cluster installation. It allows configuring primary interface MTU settings, OVN gateway modes to use node routing tables for pod egress, and additional secondary networks such as MACVLAN.
 +
-In support of network traffic segregation, multiple network interfaces are configured through the CNO. Traffic steering to these interfaces is configured through static routes applied by using the NMState Operator. To ensure that pod traffic is properly routed, OVN-K is configured with the `routingViaHost` option enabled. This setting uses the kernel routing table and the applied static routes rather than OVN for pod egress traffic.

-Open vSwitch (OVS) is removed from CPU partitioning. OVS manages its cpuset dynamically to automatically adapt to network traffic needs. Users no longer need to reserve additional CPUs for handling high network throughput on the primary container network interface (CNI). There is no impact on the configuration needed to benefit from this change.
+* No reference design updates in this release
 
 Description::
-
 CPU partitioning allows for the separation of sensitive workloads from generic purposes, auxiliary processes, interrupts, and driver work queues to achieve improved performance and latency. The CPUs allocated to those auxiliary processes are referred to as `reserved` in the following sections. In hyperthreaded systems, a CPU is one hyperthread.

+* The minimum reserved capacity (`systemReserved`) required can be found by following the guidance in  link:https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5843241["Which amount of CPU and memory are recommended to reserve for the system in OpenShift 4 nodes?"]
 * The actual required reserved CPU capacity depends on the cluster configuration and workload attributes.
 * This reserved CPU value must be rounded up to a full core (2 hyper-thread) alignment.
 * Changes to the CPU partitioning will drain and reboot the nodes in the MCP.
 * The reserved CPUs reduce the pod density, as the reserved CPUs are removed from the allocatable capacity of the OpenShift node.
 * The real-time workload hint should be enabled if the workload is real-time capable.
 * Hardware without Interrupt Request (IRQ) affinity support will impact isolated CPUs. To ensure that pods with guaranteed CPU QoS have full use of allocated CPU, all hardware in the server must support IRQ affinity.
+* OVS dynamically manages its `cpuset` configuration to adapt to network traffic needs.
+You do not need to reserve additional CPUs for handling high network throughput on the primary CNI.
