4 This is FD.io CSIT (Fast Data i/o Continuous System Integration and
5 Testing) project report for |csit-release| system performance and
6 functional testing of |vpp-release|.
8 There is also a downloadable `PDF version of this report`_.
10 This report describes CSIT performance and functional tests delivered in
11 |csit-release|. A high-level overview is provided for each CSIT test
12 environment running in :abbr:`LF (Linux Foundation)` FD.io Continuous
13 Performance Labs. This is followed by summary of all executed tests
14 against the |vpp-release| and associated FD.io projects and sub-systems
15 (Honeycomb, DPDK, NSH_SFC, DMM), |csit-release| release notes, result
16 highlights and known issues discovered in CSIT. More detailed
17 description of each environment, pointers to CSIT test code
18 documentation and detailed test resuls with links to the source data
19 files are also provided.
