 Test Environment
 ================
 
-CSIT performance tests are executed on physical testbeds hosted by
-:abbr:`LF (Linux Foundation)` for FD.io project. Each testbed consists of
-either one (2-node) or two (3-node) servers acting as Systems Under Test (SUT)
-and one server acting as Traffic Generator (TG).
+Physical Testbeds
+-----------------
+
+FD.io CSIT performance tests are executed in physical testbeds hosted by
+:abbr:`LF (Linux Foundation)` for FD.io project. Two physical testbed
+topology types are used:
+
+- **3-Node Topology**: Consisting of two servers acting as SUTs
+  (Systems Under Test) and one server as TG (Traffic Generator), all
+  connected in ring topology.
+- **2-Node Topology**: Consisting of one server acting as SUTs and one
+  server as TG both connected in ring topology.
+
+Tested SUT servers are based on a range of processors including Intel
+Xeon Haswell-SP, Intel Xeon Skylake-SP, Intel Xeon Cascade Lake-SP, Arm, Intel
+Atom. More detailed description is provided in
+:ref:`tested_physical_topologies`. Tested logical topologies are
+described in :ref:`tested_logical_topologies`.
