-Here few illustrative examples of the new naming usage for performance test
-suites:
-
-#. **Physical port to physical port - a.k.a. NIC-to-NIC, Phy-to-Phy, P2P**
-
- - *PortNICConfig-WireEncapsulation-PacketForwardingFunction-
- PacketProcessingFunction1-...-PacketProcessingFunctionN-TestType*
- - *10ge2p1x520-dot1q-l2bdbasemaclrn-ndrdisc.robot* => 2 ports of 10GE on
- Intel x520 NIC, dot1q tagged Ethernet, L2 bridge-domain baseline switching
- with MAC learning, NDR throughput discovery.
- - *10ge2p1x520-ethip4vxlan-l2bdbasemaclrn-ndrchk.robot* => 2 ports of 10GE
- on Intel x520 NIC, IPv4 VXLAN Ethernet, L2 bridge-domain baseline
- switching with MAC learning, NDR throughput discovery.
- - *10ge2p1x520-ethip4-ip4base-ndrdisc.robot* => 2 ports of 10GE on Intel
- x520 NIC, IPv4 baseline routed forwarding, NDR throughput discovery.

- Intel x520 NIC, IPv6 scaled up routed forwarding, NDR throughput
- discovery.
-
-#. **Physical port to VM (or VM chain) to physical port - a.k.a. NIC2VM2NIC,
- P2V2P, NIC2VMchain2NIC, P2V2V2P**
-
- - *PortNICConfig-WireEncapsulation-PacketForwardingFunction-
- PacketProcessingFunction1-...-PacketProcessingFunctionN-VirtEncapsulation-
- VirtPortConfig-VMconfig-TestType*
- - *10ge2p1x520-dot1q-l2bdbasemaclrn-eth-2vhost-1vm-ndrdisc.robot* => 2 ports
- of 10GE on Intel x520 NIC, dot1q tagged Ethernet, L2 bridge-domain
- switching to/from two vhost interfaces and one VM, NDR throughput
- discovery.
- - *10ge2p1x520-ethip4vxlan-l2bdbasemaclrn-eth-2vhost-1vm-ndrdisc.robot* => 2
- ports of 10GE on Intel x520 NIC, IPv4 VXLAN Ethernet, L2 bridge-domain
- switching to/from two vhost interfaces and one VM, NDR throughput
- discovery.
- - *10ge2p1x520-ethip4vxlan-l2bdbasemaclrn-eth-4vhost-2vm-ndrdisc.robot* => 2
- ports of 10GE on Intel x520 NIC, IPv4 VXLAN Ethernet, L2 bridge-domain
- switching to/from four vhost interfaces and two VMs, NDR throughput
- discovery.

-Methodology: Multi-Thread and Multi-Core
-----------------------------------------
-
-**HyperThreading** - CSIT |release| performance tests are executed with SUT
-servers' Intel XEON CPUs configured in HyperThreading Disabled mode (BIOS
-settings). This is the simplest configuration used to establish baseline
-single-thread single-core SW packet processing and forwarding performance.
-Subsequent releases of CSIT will add performance tests with Intel
-HyperThreading Enabled (requires BIOS settings change and hard reboot).
-
-**Multi-core Test** - CSIT |release| multi-core tests are executed in the
-following VPP thread and core configurations:
