VIRL runs on physical -baremetal servers hosted by LF FD.io project. Based on the packet path -thru SUT VMs, two distinct logical topology types are used for VPP DUT -data plane testing: - -#. vNIC-to-vNIC switching topologies. -#. Nested-VM service switching topologies. - -vNIC-to-vNIC Switching -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -The simplest virtual topology for software data plane application like -VPP is vNIC-to-vNIC switching.

SUTs run VPP -SW application in Linux user-mode as a Device Under Test (DUT) within -the VM. TG runs Scapy SW application as a packet Traffic Generator. -Network connectivity between SUTs and to TG is provided using virtual -NICs and VMs' virtio drivers. - -Virtual testbeds are created on-demand whenever a verification job is -started (e.g. triggered by the gerrit patch submission) and destroyed -upon completion of all functional tests. Each node is a Virtual Machine -and each connection that is drawn on the diagram is available for use in -any test case. During the test execution, all nodes are reachable thru -the Management network connected to every node via dedicated virtual -NICs and virtual links (not shown above for clarity). - -Nested-VM Service Switching -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Nested-VM (Virtual Machine) service switching topology test cases -require VPP DUT to communicate with nested-VM(s) over vhost-user virtual -interfaces.
