-General Notes
-=============
-
-All CSIT test results listed in this report are sourced and auto-generated
-from output.xml Robot Framework (RF) files resulting from LF FD.io Jenkins
-jobs execution against |vpp-release| release artifacts. References are
-provided to the original LF FD.io Jenkins job results. However, as LF FD.io
-Jenkins infrastructure does not automatically archive all jobs (history record
-is provided for the last 30 days or 40 jobs only), additional references are
-provided to the RF result files that got archived in FD.io nexus online
-storage system.
-
-FD.io CSIT project currently covers multiple FD.io system and sub-system
-testing areas and this is reflected in this report, where each testing area
-is listed separately, as follows:
-
-#. **VPP Performance Tests** - VPP performance tests are executed in physical
- FD.io testbeds, focusing on VPP network data plane performance at this stage,
- both for Phy-to-Phy (NIC-to-NIC) and Phy-to-VM-to-Phy (NIC-to-VM-to-NIC)
- forwarding topologies. Tested across a range of NICs, 10GE and 40GE
- interfaces, range of multi-thread and multi-core configurations. VPP
- application runs in host user- mode. TRex is used as a traffic generator.
-
-#. **DPDK Performance Tests** - VPP is using DPDK code to control and drive
- the NICs and physical interfaces. Testpmd tests are used as a baseline to
- profile the DPDK sub-system of VPP. DPDK performance tests executed in
- physical FD.io testbeds, focusing on Testpmd/L3FWD data plane performance for
- Phy-to-Phy (NIC-to-NIC). Tests cover a range of NICs, 10GE and 40GE
- interfaces, range of multi-thread and multi-core configurations.
- Testpmd/L3FWD application runs in host user-mode. TRex is used as a traffic
- generator.
-
-#. **VPP Functional Tests** - VPP functional tests are executed in virtual
- FD.io testbeds focusing on VPP packet processing functionality, including
- network data plane and in -line control plane. Tests cover vNIC-to-vNIC
- vNIC-to-VM-to-vNIC forwarding topologies. Scapy is used as a traffic
- generator.
-
-#. **HoneyComb Functional Tests** - HoneyComb functional tests are executed in
- virtual FD.io testbeds focusing on HoneyComb management and programming
- functionality of VPP. Tests cover a range of CRUD operations executed
- against VPP.
-
-#. **NSH_SFC Functional Tests** - NSH_SFC functional tests are executed in
- virtual FD.io testbeds focusing on NSH_SFC of VPP. Tests cover a range of
- CRUD operations executed against VPP.
-
-In addition to above, CSIT |release| report does also include VPP unit test
-results. VPP unit tests are developed within the FD.io VPP project and as they
-complement CSIT system functional tests, they are provided mainly as a reference
-and to provide a more complete view of automated testing executed against
-|vpp-release|.
-
-FD.io CSIT system is developed using two main coding platforms: Robot
-Framework (RF) and Python. CSIT |release| source code for the executed test
-suites is available in CSIT branch |release| in the directory
-"./tests/<name_of_the_test_suite>". A local copy of CSIT source code can be
-obtained by cloning CSIT git repository - "git clone
-https://gerrit.fd.io/r/csit". The CSIT testing virtual environment can be run
-on a local computer workstation (laptop, server) using Vagrant by following
-the instructions in `CSIT tutorials
-<https://wiki.fd.io/view/CSIT#Tutorials>`_.
