+
+SUT1 runs VPP SW application in Linux user-mode as a
+Device Under Test (DUT), and a python script to generate traffic. SUT2 and TG
+are unused.
+sical connectivity between SUTs and to TG is provided using
+different NIC model. Currently installed NIC models include:
+
+Performance tests involve sending Netconf requests over localhost to the
+Honeycomb listener port, and measuring response time.
+
+Note that reported performance results are specific to the SUTs tested.
+Current LF FD.io SUTs are based on Intel XEON E5-2699v3 2.3GHz CPUs. SUTs with
+other CPUs are likely to yield different results.
+
+For detailed LF FD.io test bed specification and physical topology please refer
+to `LF FDio CSIT testbed wiki page
+<https://wiki.fd.io/view/CSIT/CSIT_LF_testbed>`_.
+
+Performance Tests Coverage
+--------------------------
+
+As of right now, there is only a single Honeycomb performance test. Measuring
+response time for a simple read operation, performed synchronously and using
+single (not batch) requests.
+
+Currently the tests do not trigger automatically, but can be run on-demand from
+the hc2vpp project.
+
+Performance Tests Naming
+------------------------
+
+CSIT |release| follows a common structured naming convention for all
+performance and system functional tests, introduced in CSIT |release-1|.
+
+The naming should be intuitive for majority of the tests. Complete
+description of CSIT test naming convention is provided on `CSIT test naming wiki
+<https://wiki.fd.io/view/CSIT/csit-test-naming>`_.
+
+Here few illustrative examples of the new naming usage for performance test
+suites:
+

+
+Methodology: Multi-Core
+-----------------------
+
+**Multi-core Test** - CSIT |release| multi-core tests are executed in the
+following thread and core configurations:
+
+#. 1t - 1 Honeycomb Netconf thread on 1 CPU physical core.
+#. 8t - 8 Honeycomb Netconf thread on 8 CPU physical core.
+#. 16t - 16 Honeycomb Netconf thread on 16 CPU physical core.
+
+Traffic generator also uses multiple threads/cores, to simulate multiple
+Netconf clients accessing the Honeycomb server.
+
+Methodology: Performance measurement
+------------------------------------
+
+The following values are measured and reported in tests:
+
+- Average request rate. Averaged over the entire test duration, over all client
+  threads. Negative replies (if any) are not counted and are reported separately.

-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
