-# Tunnel Encapsulations
-
-Tunnel encapsulations testing is grouped based on the type of outer
-header: IPv4 or IPv6.
-
-## IPv4 Tunnels
-
-VPP is tested in the following IPv4 tunnel baseline configurations:
-
-- *ip4vxlan-l2bdbase*: VXLAN over IPv4 tunnels with L2 bridge-domain MAC
- switching.
-- *ip4vxlan-l2xcbase*: VXLAN over IPv4 tunnels with L2 cross-connect.
-- *ip4lispip4-ip4base*: LISP over IPv4 tunnels with IPv4 routing.
-- *ip4lispip6-ip6base*: LISP over IPv4 tunnels with IPv6 routing.
-- *ip4gtpusw-ip4base*: GTPU over IPv4 tunnels with IPv4 routing.
-
-In all cases listed above low number of MAC, IPv4, IPv6 flows (253 or 254 per
-direction) is switched or routed by VPP.
-
-In addition selected IPv4 tunnels are tested at scale:
-
-- *dot1q--ip4vxlanscale-l2bd*: VXLAN over IPv4 tunnels with L2 bridge-
- domain MAC switching, with scaled up dot1q VLANs (10, 100, 1k),
- mapped to scaled up L2 bridge-domains (10, 100, 1k), that are in turn
- mapped to (10, 100, 1k) VXLAN tunnels. 64.5k flows are transmitted per
- direction.
-
-## IPv6 Tunnels
-
-VPP is tested in the following IPv6 tunnel baseline configurations:
-
-- *ip6lispip4-ip4base*: LISP over IPv4 tunnels with IPv4 routing.
-- *ip6lispip6-ip6base*: LISP over IPv4 tunnels with IPv6 routing.
-
-In all cases listed above low number of IPv4, IPv6 flows (253 or 254 per
-direction) is routed by VPP.
