-SW application as a packet Traffic Generator. Logical connectivity between
-SUTs and to TG is provided using virtual NICs using VMs' virtio driver.

Functional Tests Naming
-----------------------
-CSIT-17.01 introduced a common structured naming convention for all
-performance and functional tests. This change was driven by substantially
-growing number and type of CSIT test cases. Firstly, the original practice did
-not always follow any strict naming convention. Secondly test names did not
-always clearly capture tested packet encapsulations, and the actual type or
-content of the tests. Thirdly HW configurations in terms of NICs, ports and
-their locality were not captured either. These were but few reasons that drove
-the decision to change and define a new more complete and stricter test naming
-convention, and to apply this to all existing and new test cases.
-
-The new naming should be intuitive for majority of the tests. The complete
-description of CSIT test naming convention is provided on `CSIT test naming
-page <https://wiki.fd.io/view/CSIT/csit-test-naming>`_.
-
-Here few illustrative examples of the new naming usage for functional test
-suites:
-
-#. **Physical port to physical port - a.k.a. NIC-to-NIC, Phy-to-Phy, P2P**
-
- - *eth2p-ethip4-ip4base-func.robot* => 2 ports of Ethernet, IPv4 baseline
- routed forwarding, functional tests.
-
-#. **Physical port to VM (or VM chain) to physical port - a.k.a. NIC2VM2NIC,
- P2V2P, NIC2VMchain2NIC, P2V2V2P**
+|csit-release| follows a common structured naming convention for all
+performance and system functional tests, introduced in CSIT-17.01.
- - *eth2p-ethip4vxlan-l2bdbasemaclrn-eth-2vhost-1vm-func.robot* => 2 ports of
- Ethernet, IPv4 VXLAN Ethernet, L2 bridge-domain switching to/from two vhost
- interfaces and one VM, functional tests.
+The naming should be intuitive for majority of the tests. Complete
+description of CSIT test naming convention is provided on
+:ref:`csit_test_naming`.
