SUT1 and SUT2 are two System Under Test servers (Cisco UCS C240, each with two
Intel XEON CPUs), TG is a Traffic Generator (TG, another Cisco UCS C240, with
previously discovered throughput rate. These tests are currently done against
0.9 of reference NDR, with reference rates updated periodically.

Performance Tests Naming
------------------------
-CSIT |release| follows a common structured naming convention for all performance
-and system functional tests, introduced in CSIT |release-1|.
+|csit-release| follows a common structured naming convention for all performance
+and system functional tests, introduced in CSIT-17.01.
The naming should be intuitive for majority of the tests. Complete description

SUT servers' Intel XEON processors configured in Intel Hyper-Threading Disabled
mode (BIOS setting). This is the simplest configuration used to establish
baseline single-thread single-core application packet processing and forwarding

server).
