CSIT VPP Device tests are executed in Physical containerized topologies
created on demand using set of scripts hosted and developed under CSIT
repository. It runs on physical baremetal servers hosted by LF FD.io project.
-Based on the packet path thru SUT Containers, two distinct logical topology
+Based on the packet path thru SUT Containers, three distinct logical topology
types are used for VPP DUT data plane testing:
#. vfNIC-to-vfNIC switching topologies.
-#. Nested-VM service switching topologies. (Planned to be added in rls1901)
+#. vfNIC-to-vhost-user switching topologies.
+#. vfNIC-to-memif switching topologies.
vfNIC-to-vfNIC Switching

physical server. During the test execution, all nodes are reachable thru
the Management (not shown above for clarity).
+vfNIC-to-vhost-user Switching
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+vfNIC-to-vhost-user switching topology test cases require VPP DUT to communicate
+with Virtual Machine (VM) over Vhost-user virtual interfaces. VM is created on
+SUT1 for the duration of these particular test cases only. Virtual test topology
+with VM is shown in the figure below.

+vfNIC-to-memif switching topology test cases require VPP DUT to communicate
+with another Docker Container over memif interfaces. Container is created for

+version as running on DUT. Virtual test topology with Memif is shown in
