 Test Environment

 ================

 

-To execute performance tests, there are three identical testbeds, each testbed

-consists of two SUTs and one TG.

+CSIT performance tests are executed on the three identical physical

+testbeds hosted by Linux Foundation for FD.io project. Each testbed

+consists of two servers acting as Systems Under Test (SUT) and one

+server acting as Traffic Generator (TG).

 

-Naming Convention

------------------

-

-Following naming convention is used within this page to specify physical

-connectivity and wiring across defined CSIT testbeds:

-

-- testbedname: testbedN.

-- hostname:

-

-  - traffic-generator: tN-tgW.

-  - system-under-testX: tN-sutX.

-

-- portnames:

-

-  - tN-tgW-cY/pZ.

-  - tN-sutX-cY/pZ.

-

-- where:

-

-  - N - testbed number.

-  - tgW - server acts as traffic-generator with W index.

-  - sutX - server acts as system-under-test with X index.

-  - Y - PCIe slot number denoting a NIC card number within the host.

-

-    - Y=1,2,3 - slots in Riser 1, Right PCIe Riser Board, NUMA node 0.

-    - Y=4,5,6 - slots in Riser 2, Left PCIe Riser Board, NUMA node 1.

-    - Y=m - the MLOM slot.

-

-  - Z - port number on the NIC card.

-

-Server HW Configuration

------------------------
