Virtual Topologies
------------------
-CSIT VPP functional tests are executed on virtualized topologies created using
-:abbr:`VIRL (Virtual Internet Routing Lab)` simulation platform contributed by
-Cisco. VIRL runs on physical baremetal servers hosted by LF FD.io project.
-Based on the packet path thru server SUTs, two distinct logical topology types
-are used for VPP DUT data plane testing:

-The simplest logical topology for software data plane application like
-VPP is NIC-to-NIC switching. Tested topologies for 2-Node and 3-Node
-testbeds are shown in figures below.

-SUT1 and SUT2 are two VMs (Ubuntu or Centos, depending on the test suite), TG
-is a Traffic Generator (TG, another Ubuntu VM). SUTs run VPP SW application in
-Linux user-mode as a Device Under Test (DUT) within the VM. TG runs Scapy SW
-application as a packet Traffic Generator. Logical connectivity between SUTs
-and to TG is provided using virtual NICs using VMs' virtio driver.
-
-Virtual testbeds 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 Virtual Machine and each connection
-that is drawn on the diagram is available for use in any test case. During the
-test execution, all nodes are reachable thru the Management network connected
-to every node via dedicated virtual NICs and virtual links (not shown above
-for clarity).
-
-VM Service Switching
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-VM service switching topology test cases require VPP DUT to communicate
-with Virtual Machines (VMs) over vhost-user virtual interfaces. A nested VM is
-created on SUT1 and/or SUT2 for the duration of these particular test cases
-only. DUT (VPP) test topology with VM is shown in the figure below.
