6 # Documentation Structure
8 1. OVERVIEW: General introduction to CSIT Performance Dashboard and CSIT itself.
9 - **[CSIT-Dash]({{< relref "/overview/c_dash/design" >}})**: The design and
10 the structure of CSIT-Dash dashboard.
11 - **[CSIT]({{< relref "/overview/csit/" >}})**: The design of the
12 [FD.io](https://fd.io/) CSIT system, and the description of the test
13 scenarios, test naming and test tags.
15 - **[Overview]({{< relref "/methodology/overview/" >}})**: Terminology,
16 per-thread resources, multi-core speedup, VPP forwarding modes and DUT
18 - **[Measurement]({{< relref "/methodology/measurements/" >}})**: Data plane
19 throughput, packet latency and the telemetry.
20 - **[Test]({{< relref "/methodology/test/" >}})**: Methodology of all tests
22 - **[Trending]({{< relref "/methodology/trending/" >}})**: A high-level
23 design of a system for continuous performance measuring, trending and
24 change detection for FD.io VPP SW data plane (and other performance tests
25 run within CSIT sub-project).
26 - **[Per-patch Testing]({{< relref "/methodology/per_patch_testing" >}})**:
27 A methodology similar to trending analysis is used for comparing
28 performance before a DUT code change is merged.
29 3. RELEASE NOTES: Performance tests executed in physical FD.io testbeds.
30 - **[{{< release_csit >}}]({{< relref "/release_notes/current/" >}})**: The
31 release notes of the current CSIT release.
32 - **[Previous]({{< relref "/release_notes/previous/" >}})**: Archived release
33 notes for the past releases.
35 - **[FD.io DC Vexxhost Inventory]({{< relref "/infrastructure/fdio_dc_vexxhost_inventory" >}})**:
36 Physical testbeds location.
37 - **[FD.io DC Testbed Specifications]({{< relref "/infrastructure/fdio_dc_testbed_specifications" >}})**:
38 Specification of the physical testbed infrastructure.
39 - **[FD.io DC Testbed Configuration]({{< relref "/infrastructure/testbed_configuration/" >}})**:
40 Configuration of the physical testbed infrastructure.
41 - **[FD.io CSIT Testbed Versioning]({{< relref "/infrastructure/fdio_csit_testbed_versioning" >}})**:
42 CSIT test environment versioning to track modifications of the test
44 - **[FD.io CSIT Logical Topologies]({{< relref "/infrastructure/fdio_csit_logical_topologies" >}})**:
45 CSIT performance tests are executed on physical testbeds. Based on the
46 packet path thru server SUTs, three distinct logical topology types are
47 used for VPP DUT data plane testing.
48 - **[VPP Startup Settings]({{< relref "/infrastructure/vpp_startup_settings" >}})**:
49 List of common settings applied to all tests and test dependent settings.
