 KVM VMs vhost-user
 ------------------
 
+QEMU is used for VPP-VM testing enviroment. By default, standard QEMU version
+preinstalled from OS repositories is used on VIRL/vpp_device functional testing
+(qemu-2.11.x for Ubuntu 18.04, qemu-2.5.0 for Ubuntu 16.04).
+In CSIT setup DUTs have small VM image `/var/lib/vm/vhost-nested.img`. QEMU
+binary can be adjusted in global settings. VM image must have installed at least
+qemu-guest-agent, sshd, bridge-utils, VirtIO support and Testpmd/L3fwd
+application. Username/password for the VM must be cisco/cisco and
+NOPASSWD sudo access. The interface naming is based on driver (management
+interface type is Intel E1000), all E1000 interfaces will be named mgmt<n> and
+all VirtIO interfaces will be named virtio<n>. In VM
+"/etc/init.d/qemu-guest-agent" you must set "TRANSPORT=isa-serial:/dev/ttyS1"
+because ttyS0 is used by serial console and ttyS1 is dedicated for
+qemu-guest-agent in QEMU setup. There is python library for QEMU setup, start
+and some utilities "resources/libraries/python/QemuUtils.py"
