-Tested Topologies VIRL
-----------------------
-
-CSIT VPP functional tests are executed on virtualized topologies created using
-Virtual Internet Routing Lab (VIRL) simulation platform contributed by Cisco.
-VIRL runs on physical baremetal servers hosted by LF FD.io project. Majority
-of the tests are executed in the three node logical test topology - Traffic
-Generator (TG) node and two Systems Under Test (SUT) nodes connected in a
-loop. Some tests use two node logical test topology - TG node and SUT1 node.
-Both logical test topologies are shown in the figures below.

-SUT1 and SUT2 are two VMs (Ubuntu or Centos, depending on the test suite), TG
-is a Traffic Generator (TG, another Ubuntu VM). SUTs run VPP SW application in
-Linux user-mode as a Device Under Test (DUT) within the VM. TG runs Scapy SW
-application as a packet Traffic Generator. Logical connectivity between SUTs
-and to TG is provided using virtual NICs using VMs' virtio driver.
-
-Virtual testbeds are created on-demand whenever a verification job is started
-(e.g. triggered by the gerrit patch submission) and destroyed upon completion
-of all functional tests. Each node is a Virtual Machine and each connection
-that is drawn on the diagram is available for use in any test case. During the
-test execution, all nodes are reachable thru the Management network connected
-to every node via dedicated virtual NICs and virtual links (not shown above
-for clarity).
-
-For the test cases that require DUT (VPP) to communicate with VM over the
-vhost-user interfaces, a nested VM is created on SUT1 and/or SUT2 for the
-duration of these particular test cases only. DUT (VPP) test topology with VM
-is shown in the figure below including the applicable packet flow thru the VM
-(marked in the figure with ``***``).
