All :abbr:`FD.io (Fast Data Input/Ouput)` :abbr:`CSIT (Continuous System
Integration and Testing)` performance testing listed in this report are
executed on physical testbeds built with bare-metal servers hosted by
-:abbr:`LF (Linux Foundation)` FD.io project.

-Two testbed topologies are used:
+:abbr:`LF (Linux Foundation)` FD.io project. Two testbed topologies are
+used:
- **3-Node Topology**: Consisting of two servers acting as SUTs
(Systems Under Test) and one server as TG (Traffic Generator), all
hence results for testbeds based on different servers must be reported
separately, and compared if appropriate.
+Complete technical specifications of compute servers used in CSIT
+physical testbeds are maintained in FD.io CSIT repository:
+`FD.io CSIT testbeds - Xeon Skylake, Arm, Atom`_ and
+`FD.io CSIT Testbeds - Xeon Haswell`_.
+
Following sections describe existing production testbed types.
3-Node Xeon Haswell (3n-hsw)
making the number of logical cores exposed to Linux match the number of
18 physical cores per processor socket.
-Complete 3n-hsw testbeds specification is available on
-`CSIT LF testbed <https://wiki.fd.io/view/CSIT/CSIT_LF_testbed>`_
-wiki page.
-
Total of three 3n-hsw testbeds are in operation in FD.io labs.
3-Node Xeon Skylake (3n-skx)
doubling the number of logical cores exposed to Linux, with 56 logical
cores and 28 physical cores per processor socket.
-Complete 3n-skx testbeds specification is available on
-`CSIT LF lab extension <https://wiki.fd.io/view/CSIT/fdio_csit_lab_ext_lld_draft>`_
-wiki page.
-
Total of two 3n-skx testbeds are in operation in FD.io labs.
2-Node Xeon Skylake (2n-skx)
doubling the number of logical cores exposed to Linux, with 56 logical
cores and 28 physical cores per processor socket.
-Complete 2n-skx testbed specification is available on
-`CSIT LF lab extension <https://wiki.fd.io/view/CSIT/fdio_csit_lab_ext_lld_draft>`_
-wiki page.
-
Total of four 2n-skx testbeds are in operation in FD.io labs.

+2-Node Atom Denverton (2n-dnv)
+------------------------------
+
+2n-dnv testbed is based on one Intel S2600WFT Server that is equipped with
+two Intel Xeon Skylake Platinum 8180 2.5GHz 28 core processors and one
+SuperMicro SYS-E300-9A server that is equipped with one Intel Atom CPU
+C3858 2.00GHz 12 core processors. Physical testbed topology is depicted in
+a figure below.
