+CSIT Test Naming
+================
+
+Background
+----------
+
+CSIT |release| introduced a common structured naming convention for all
+performance and functional tests. This change was driven by substantially
+growing number and type of CSIT test cases. Firstly, the original practice did
+not always follow any strict naming convention. Secondly test names did not
+always clearly capture tested packet encapsulations, and the actual type or
+content of the tests. Thirdly HW configurations in terms of NICs, ports and
+their locality were not captured either. These were but few reasons that drove
+the decision to change and define a new more complete and stricter test naming
+convention. And to apply it to all existing and new test suites and test
+cases.
+
+The new naming should be intuitive for majority of the tests. Complete
+description of the newly adopted CSIT test naming convention is provided on
+`CSIT test naming page <https://wiki.fd.io/view/CSIT/csit-test-naming>`_. Here
+few illustrative examples of the new naming usage for test suites across CSIT
+performance, functional and HoneyComb management test areas.
+
+Naming Convention
+-----------------
+
+The CSIT approach is to use tree naming convention and to encode following
+testing information into test suite and test case names:
+
+1. packet network port configuration
+
+ * port type, physical or virtual;
+ * number of ports;
+ * NIC model, if applicable;
+ * port-NIC locality, if applicable;
+
+2. packet encapsulations;
+
+3. VPP packet processing
+
+ * packet forwarding mode;
+ * packet processing function(s);
+
+4. packet forwarding path
+
+ * if present, network functions (processes, containers, VMs) and their
+ topology within the computer;
+
+5. main measured variable, type of test.
+
+Proposed convention is to encode ports and NICs on the left (underlay),
+followed by outer-most frame header, then other stacked headers up to the
+header processed by vSwitch-VPP, then VPP forwarding function, then encap on
+vhost interface, number of vhost interfaces, number of VMs. If chained VMs
+present, they get added on the right. Test topology is expected to be
+symmetric, in other words packets enter and leave SUT through ports specified
+on the left of the test name. Here some examples to illustrate the convention
+followed by the complete legend, and tables mapping the new test filenames to
+old ones.
+
+Naming Examples
+---------------
+
+CSIT test suite naming examples (filename.robot) for common tested VPP
+topologies:
+
+1. **Physical port to physical port - a.k.a. NIC-to-NIC, Phy-to-Phy, P2P**
+
+ * *PortNICConfig-WireEncapsulation-PacketForwardingFunction-
+ PacketProcessingFunction1-...-PacketProcessingFunctionN-TestType*
+ * *10ge2p1x520-dot1q-l2bdbasemaclrn-ndrdisc.robot* => 2 ports of 10GE on Intel
+ x520 NIC, dot1q tagged Ethernet, L2 bridge-domain baseline switching with
+ MAC learning, NDR throughput discovery.
+ * *10ge2p1x520-ethip4vxlan-l2bdbasemaclrn-ndrchk.robot* => 2 ports of 10GE on
+ Intel x520 NIC, IPv4 VXLAN Ethernet, L2 bridge-domain baseline switching
+ with MAC learning, NDR throughput discovery.
+ * *10ge2p1x520-ethip4-ip4base-ndrdisc.robot* => 2 ports of 10GE on Intel x520

+ x520 NIC, IPv6 scaled up routed forwarding, NDR throughput discovery.
+ * *10ge2p1x520-ethip4-ip4base-iacldstbase-ndrdisc.robot* => 2 ports of 10GE on

+ routed forwarding, functional tests.
+
+2. **Physical port to VM (or VM chain) to physical port - a.k.a. NIC2VM2NIC,
+ P2V2P, NIC2VMchain2NIC, P2V2V2P**
+

+
+3. **API CRUD tests - Create (Write), Read (Retrieve), Update (Modify), Delete
