Overview
========
+VPP performance test results are reported for all three physical testbed
+types present in FD.io labs: 3-Node Xeon Haswell (3n-hsw), 3-Node Xeon
+Skylake (3n-skx), 2-Node Xeon Skylake (2n-skx) and installed NIC models.

CSIT VPP performance tests are executed on physical testbeds described
-in :ref:`physical_testbeds`. Based on the packet path thru server SUTs,
-three distinct logical topology types are used for VPP DUT data plane

VM service switching topology test cases require VPP DUT to communicate
with Virtual Machines (VMs) over vhost-user virtual interfaces.

Performance Tests Naming
------------------------
-FD.io CSIT |release| follows a common structured naming convention for
-all performance and system functional tests, introduced in CSIT rls1701.
+FD.io |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
