VPP vswitch instance runs in bare-metal user-mode handling +NIC interfaces and connecting over memif (Slave side) to VPPs running in +:abbr:`Linux Container (LXC)` or in Docker Container (DRC) configured +with memif (Master side). LXCs and DRCs run in a priviliged mode with +VPP data plane worker threads pinned to dedicated physical CPU cores per +usual CSIT practice. All VPP instances run the same version of software. +This test topology is equivalent to existing tests with vhost-user and +VMs as described earlier in :ref:`tested_logical_topologies`. + +In addition to above vswitch tests, a single memif interface test is +executed. It runs in a simple topology of two VPP container instances +connected over memif interface in order to verify standalone memif +interface performance. + +More information about CSIT LXC and DRC setup and control is available +in :ref:`container_orchestration_in_csit`. |
