-Physical Testbeds
-=================
-
-All :abbr:`FD.io (Fast Data Input/Ouput)` :abbr:`CSIT (Continuous System
-Integration and Testing)` performance testing listed in this report are
-executed on physical testbeds built with bare-metal servers hosted by
-:abbr:`LF (Linux Foundation)` FD.io project. Two testbed topologies 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. Used for executing all of the data plane
- tests including overlay tunnels and IPSec tests.
-- **2-Node Topology**: Consisting of one server acting as SUTs (Systems
- Under Test) and one server as TG (Traffic Generator), both connected
- in ring topology. Used for execution of tests without any overlay
- tunnel encapsulations. Added in CSIT rls18.07.
-
-Current FD.io production testbeds are built with servers based on two
-processor generations of Intel Xeons: Haswell-SP (E5-2699v3) and Skylake
-(Platinum 8180). Testbeds built with servers based on Arm processors are
-in the process of being added to FD.io production.
-
-Server SUT and DUT performance depends on server and processor type,
-hence results for testbeds based on different servers must be reported
-separately, and compared if appropriate.
-
-Complete technical specifications of compute servers used in CSIT
-physical testbeds are maintained in FD.io CSIT repository:
-`FD.io CSIT testbeds - Xeon Skylake, Arm, Atom`_ and
-`FD.io CSIT Testbeds - Xeon Haswell`_.
-
-Following sections describe existing production testbed types.
