Remove THIS tag and use unix endlines
The THIS tag has sneaked in 10Ge2P1X520-Eth-L2Xcbase-Eth-1Memif-1Dcr-Mrr
but usually it is only to be used in draft testing.
Not sure about the way non-unix endlines crept in.
Is not git supposed to perform endline conversions on text files?
Or are .robot, .rst, .yaml and .vat not recognized as text?

-================
-
-CSIT functional tests are currently executed in FD.IO VIRL testbed. The physical
-VIRL testbed infrastructure consists of three VIRL hosts:
-
-- All hosts are Cisco UCS C240-M4 (2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2699 v3 @2.30GHz,
- 18c, 512GB RAM)
-
-- tb4-virl1:
-
- - Status: Production
- - OS: Ubuntu 16.04.2
- - STD server version 0.10.32.16
- - UWM server version 0.10.32.16
-
-- tb4-virl2:
-
- - Status: Production
- - OS: Ubuntu 16.04.2
- - STD server version 0.10.32.16
- - UWM server version 0.10.32.16
-
-- tb4-virl3:
-
- - Status: Testing
- - OS: Ubuntu 16.04.2
- - STD server version 0.10.32.19
- - UWM server version 0.10.32.19
-
-Whenever a patch is submitted to gerrit for review, parallel VIRL simulations
-are started to reduce the time of execution of all functional tests. The number
-of parallel VIRL simulations is equal to number of test groups defined by
-TEST_GROUPS variable in :file:`csit/bootstrap.sh` file. The VIRL host to run
-VIRL simulation is selected based on least load algorithm per VIRL simulation.
-
-Every VIRL simulation uses the same three-node - Traffic Generator (TG node) and
-two Systems Under Test (SUT1 and SUT2) - "double-ring" topology. The appropriate
-pre-built VPP packages built by Jenkins for the patch under review are then
-installed on the two SUTs, along with their :file:`/etc/vpp/startup.conf` file,
-in all VIRL simulations.
-
-SUT Configuration - VIRL Guest VM
----------------------------------
-
-Configurations of the SUT VMs is defined in `VIRL topologies directory`_
-
-- List of SUT VM interfaces:::
-
- <interface id="0" name="GigabitEthernet0/4/0"/>
- <interface id="1" name="GigabitEthernet0/5/0"/>
- <interface id="2" name="GigabitEthernet0/6/0"/>
- <interface id="3" name="GigabitEthernet0/7/0"/>
-
-- Number of 2MB hugepages: 1024
-
-- Maximum number of memory map areas: 20000
-
-- Kernel Shared Memory Max: 2147483648 (vm.nr_hugepages * 2 * 1024 * 1024)
-
-SUT Configuration - VIRL Guest OS Linux
----------------------------------------
-
-In CSIT terminology, the VM operating system for both SUTs that |vpp-release| has
-been tested with, is the following:
-
-#. **Ubuntu VIRL image**
-
- This image implies Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, current as of yyyy-mm-dd (that is,
- package versions are those that would have been installed by a
- :command:`apt-get update`, :command:`apt-get upgrade` on that day), produced
- by CSIT disk image build scripts.
-
- The exact list of installed packages and their versions (including the Linux
- kernel package version) are included in `VIRL ubuntu images lists`_.
-
- A replica of this VM image can be built by running the :command:`build.sh`
- script in CSIT repository.
-
-#. **CentOS VIRL image**
-
- This image implies Centos 7.4-1711, current as of yyyy-mm-dd (that is,
- package versions are those that would have been installed by a
- :command:`yum update`, :command:`yum upgrade` on that day), produced
- by CSIT disk image build scripts.
-
- The exact list of installed packages and their versions (including the Linux
- kernel package version) are included in `VIRL centos images lists`_.
-
- A replica of this VM image can be built by running the :command:`build.sh`
- script in CSIT repository.
-
-#. **Nested VM image**
-
- In addition to the "main" VM image, tests which require VPP to communicate to
- a VM over a vhost-user interface, utilize a "nested" VM image.
-
- This "nested" VM is dynamically created and destroyed as part of a test case,
- and therefore the "nested" VM image is optimized to be small, lightweight and
- have a short boot time. The "nested" VM image is not built around any
- established Linux distribution, but is based on `BuildRoot
- <https://buildroot.org/>`_, a tool for building embedded Linux systems. Just
- as for the "main" image, scripts to produce an identical replica of the
- "nested" image are included in CSIT GIT repository, and the image can be
- rebuilt using the "build.sh" script at `VIRL nested`_.
-
-DUT Configuration - VPP
------------------------
-
-Every System Under Test runs VPP SW application in Linux user-mode as a Device
-Under Test (DUT) node.
-
-**DUT port configuration**
-
-Port configuration of DUTs is defined in topology file that is generated per
-VIRL simulation based on the definition stored in `VIRL topologies directory`_.
-
-Example of DUT nodes configuration:::
-
- DUT1:
- type: DUT
- host: "10.30.51.157"
- port: 22
- username: cisco
- honeycomb:
- user: admin
- passwd: admin

-TG Configuration
-----------------
-
-Traffic Generator node is VM running the same OS Linux as SUTs. Ports of this
-VM are used as source (Tx) and destination (Rx) ports for the traffic.
-
-Traffic scripts of test cases are executed on this VM.
-
-**TG VM configuration**
-
-Configuration of the TG VMs is defined in `VIRL topologies directory`_.

The number +of parallel VIRL simulations is equal to number of test groups defined by +TEST_GROUPS variable in :file:`csit/bootstrap.sh` file. The VIRL host to run +VIRL simulation is selected based on least load algorithm per VIRL simulation. + +Every VIRL simulation uses the same three-node - Traffic Generator (TG node) and +two Systems Under Test (SUT1 and SUT2) - "double-ring" topology. The appropriate +pre-built VPP packages built by Jenkins for the patch under review are then +installed on the two SUTs, along with their :file:`/etc/vpp/startup.conf` file, +in all VIRL simulations. + +SUT Configuration - VIRL Guest VM +--------------------------------- + +Configurations of the SUT VMs is defined in `VIRL topologies directory`_ + +- List of SUT VM interfaces::: + + <interface id="0" name="GigabitEthernet0/4/0"/> + <interface id="1" name="GigabitEthernet0/5/0"/> + <interface id="2" name="GigabitEthernet0/6/0"/> + <interface id="3" name="GigabitEthernet0/7/0"/> + +- Number of 2MB hugepages: 1024 + +- Maximum number of memory map areas: 20000 + +- Kernel Shared Memory Max: 2147483648 (vm.nr_hugepages * 2 * 1024 * 1024) + +SUT Configuration - VIRL Guest OS Linux +--------------------------------------- + +In CSIT terminology, the VM operating system for both SUTs that |vpp-release| has +been tested with, is the following: + +#. **Ubuntu VIRL image** + + This image implies Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, current as of yyyy-mm-dd (that is, + package versions are those that would have been installed by a + :command:`apt-get update`, :command:`apt-get upgrade` on that day), produced + by CSIT disk image build scripts. + + The exact list of installed packages and their versions (including the Linux + kernel package version) are included in `VIRL ubuntu images lists`_. + + A replica of this VM image can be built by running the :command:`build.sh` + script in CSIT repository. + +#. **CentOS VIRL image** + + This image implies Centos 7.4-1711, current as of yyyy-mm-dd (that is, + package versions are those that would have been installed by a + :command:`yum update`, :command:`yum upgrade` on that day), produced + by CSIT disk image build scripts. + + The exact list of installed packages and their versions (including the Linux + kernel package version) are included in `VIRL centos images lists`_. + + A replica of this VM image can be built by running the :command:`build.sh` + script in CSIT repository. + +#. **Nested VM image** + + In addition to the "main" VM image, tests which require VPP to communicate to + a VM over a vhost-user interface, utilize a "nested" VM image. + + This "nested" VM is dynamically created and destroyed as part of a test case, + and therefore the "nested" VM image is optimized to be small, lightweight and + have a short boot time. The "nested" VM image is not built around any + established Linux distribution, but is based on `BuildRoot + <https://buildroot.org/>`_, a tool for building embedded Linux systems.
