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).

Server Specification and Configuration
--------------------------------------

Complete specification and configuration of compute servers used in CSIT
physical testbeds is maintained on wiki page `CSIT testbed - Server HW
Configuration (Haswell) <https://wiki.fd.io/view/CSIT/CSIT_LF_testbed>`_ and
