-Virtual Topologies
-------------------
-
-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
-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-vfNIC Switching
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The simplest physical topology for software data plane application like
-VPP is vfNIC-to-vfNIC switching. Tested virtual topologies for 2-Node testbeds
-are shown in figures below.

-SUT1 is Docker Container (running Ubuntu, depending on the test suite), TG is
-a Traffic Generator (running Ubuntu Container). SUTs run VPP
-SW application in Linux user-mode as a Device Under Test (DUT) within
-the container. TG runs Scapy SW application as a packet Traffic Generator.
-Network connectivity between SUTs and to TG is provided using virtual function
-of physical NICs.
-
-Virtual topologies are created on-demand whenever a verification job is
-started (e.g. triggered by the gerrit patch submission) and destroyed
-upon completion of all functional tests. Each node is a container running on
-physical server. During the test execution, all nodes are reachable thru
-the Management (not shown above for clarity).

-Functional Tests Coverage
--------------------------
-
-|csit-release| includes following VPP functionality tested in virtual VM
-environment:
-
-+-----------------------+----------------------------------------------+
-| Functionality | Description |
-+=======================+==============================================+
-| IPv4 | ICMPv4. |
-+-----------------------+----------------------------------------------+
-| IPv6 | ICMPv6. |
-+-----------------------+----------------------------------------------+
-
-Tests Naming
-------------
-
-|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 of CSIT test naming convention is provided on
-:ref:`csit_test_naming`.
