 Packet Throughput Graphs
 ========================
 
+Plotted results are generated by multiple executions of the same CSIT
+performance tests across three physical testbeds within LF FD.io labs.
+To provide a descriptive summary view, Box-and-Whisker plots are used to
+display variation in measured throughput values, without making any
+assumptions of the underlying statistical distribution.
+
+For each plotted test case, Box-and-Whisker plots show the quartiles
+(Min, 1st quartile / 25th percentile, 2nd quartile / 50th percentile /
+mean, 3rd quartile / 75th percentile, Max) across collected data set
+(data set size stated in the note below). Outliers are plotted as
+individual points. Min and max values are plotted as bottom and top
+Whiskers respectively. 2nd and 3rd quartiles are plotted as bottom and
+top edge of the box. If multiple samples match only two values, and all
+samples fall between them, then no whiskers are plotted. If all samples
+have the same value, only a horizontal line is plotted.
+
+*Title of each graph* is a regex (regular expression) matching all
+throughput test cases plotted on this graph, *X-axis labels* are indices
+of individual test suites executed by csit-vpp-perf-1704-all jobs that
+created result output files used as data sources for the graph, *Y-axis
+labels* are measured Packets Per Second [pps] values, and the *Graph
+legend* lists the plotted test suites and their indices.
+
+.. note::
+
+    Test results have been generated by FD.io test executor jobs
+    `csit-vpp-perf-1704-all
+    <https://jenkins.fd.io/view/csit/job/csit-vpp-perf-1704-all/>`_,
+    with Robot Framework result files csit-vpp-perf-1704-all-<id>.zip
+    `archived here <../../_static/archive/>`_. Plotted data set size per
+    test case is equal to the number of job executions presented in this
+    report version: **10**.
