# Documentation Structure
1. OVERVIEW: General introduction to CSIT Performance Dashboard and CSIT itself.
- - **C-Dash**
- - **CSIT**
+ - **C-Dash**: The design and the structure of C-Dash dashboard.
+ - **CSIT**: The design of the [FD.io](https://fd.io/) CSIT system, and the
+ description of the test scenarios, test naming and test tags.
2. METHODOLOGY
- - **Overview**
- - **Measurement**
- - **Test**
- - **Trending**
- - **Per-patch Testing**
+ - **Overview**: Terminology, per-thread resources, multi-core speedup, VPP
+ forwarding modes and DUT state considerations.
+ - **Measurement**: Data plane throughput, packet latency and the telemetry.
+ - **Test**: Methodology of all tests used in CSIT.
+ - **Trending**: A high-level design of a system for continuous performance
+ measuring, trending and change detection for FD.io VPP SW data plane (and
+ other performance tests run within CSIT sub-project).
+ - **Per-patch Testing**: A methodology similar to trending analysis is used
+ for comparing performance before a DUT code change is merged.
3. RELEASE NOTES: Performance tests executed in physical FD.io testbeds.
- - **CSIT rls2306**
- - **Previous**
+ - **CSIT rls2306**: The release notes of the current CSIT release.
+ - **Previous**: Archived release notes for the past releases.
4. INFRASTRUCTURE
- **FD.io DC Vexxhost Inventory**: Physical testbeds location.
- **FD.io DC Testbed Specifications**: Specification of the physical
testbed infrastructure.
- **FD.io DC Testbed Configuration**: Configuration of the physical
testbed infrastructure.
- - **FD.io CSIT Testbed Versioning**: CSIT testbed versioning.
- - **FD.io CSIT Logical Topologies**: CSIT Logical Topologies.
- - **VPP Startup Settings**
- - **TRex Traffic Generator**
+ - **FD.io CSIT Testbed Versioning**: CSIT test environment versioning to
+ track modifications of the test environment.
+ - **FD.io CSIT Logical Topologies**: CSIT performance tests are executed on
+ physical testbeds. Based on the packet path thru server SUTs, three
+ distinct logical topology types are used for VPP DUT data plane testing.
+ - **VPP Startup Settings**: List of common settings applied to all tests and
+ test dependent settings.
+ - **TRex Traffic Generator**: Usage of TRex traffic generator and its traffic
+ modes, profiles etc.
