+2-Node AMD EPYC Zen2 (2n-zn2)
+-----------------------------
+
+One 2n-zn2 testbed in in operation in FD.io labs. It is built based on
+two SuperMicro SuperMicro AS-1114S-WTRT servers, with SUT and TG servers
+equipped with one AMD EPYC Zen2 7532 processor each (256 MB Cache, 2.40
+GHz, 32 cores). 2n-zn2 physical topology is shown below.
