-Following sections provide a summary of VPP Phy-to-Phy IPv4 Routed-Forwarding
-performance illustrating NDR throughput (zero packet loss) and PDR throughput
-(<0.5% packet loss). Performance is reported for VPP running in multiple
-configurations of VPP worker thread(s), a.k.a. VPP data plane thread (s), and
-their physical CPU core(s) placement.

-*Title of each graph* is a regex (regular expression) matching all plotted

+Following sections include summary graphs of VPP Phy-to-Phy performance
+with IPv4 Routed-Forwarding, including NDR throughput (zero packet loss)
+and PDR throughput (<0.5% packet loss). Performance is reported for VPP
+running in multiple configurations of VPP worker thread(s), a.k.a. VPP
+data plane thread(s), and their physical CPU core(s) placement.
+
+Results are generated by multiple executions of the same CSIT
+performance tests across three physical testbeds within LF FD.io labs.
+To provide a descriptive summary view, Box-and-Whisker plots are used to
+display variation in measured throughput values, without making any
+assumptions of the underlying statistical distribution. For each plotted
+test case, Box-and-Whisker plots show the quartiles (Min, 1st quartile
+/ 25th percentile, 2nd quartile / 50th percentile / mean, 3rd quartile /
+75th percentile, Max) across collected data set (data set size stated in
+the note below). Outliers are plotted as individual points.
+
+*Title of each graph* is a regex (regular expression) matching all
+throughput test cases plotted on this graph, *X-axis labels* are indices
+of individual test suites executed by csit-vpp-perf-1704-all jobs that
+created result output files used as data sources for the graph, *Y-axis
+labels* are measured Packets Per Second [pps] values, and the *Graph
+legend* lists the plotted test suites and their indices.
