+L2 Ethernet Switching
+=====================
+
+This section provides a summary of Testpmd Phy-to-Phy L2 Ethernet looping
+performance illustrating packet latency measured at 50% of discovered NDR
+throughput rate. Latency is reported for Testpmd running in multiple
+configurations of Testpmd worker thread(s), a.k.a. Testpmd data plane thread
+(s), and their physical CPU core(s) placement.
+
+Title of each graph is a regex (regular expression) matching all plotted
+test case throughput measurements.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Data sources for reported test results: i) FD.io test executor jobs
+ `csit-dpdk-perf-1701-all <https://jenkins.fd.io/view/csit/job/csit-dpdk-perf-1701-all/>`_
+ and
+ `csit-dpdk-perf-1701-long <https://jenkins.fd.io/view/csit/job/csit-dpdk-perf-1701-long/>`_
+ , ii) archived FD.io jobs test result output files
+ `csit-dpdk-perf-1701-all#job-number <https://nexus.fd.io/link>`_.

+Testpmd packet latency - running in configuration of **one worker thread (1t) on one
+physical core (1c)** - is presented in the figure below.
