-Test Environment
-================
-
-CSIT functional tests are currently executed in FD.IO VIRL testbed. The physical
-VIRL testbed infrastructure consists of three VIRL hosts:
-
-- All hosts are Cisco UCS C240-M4 (2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2699 v3 @2.30GHz,
- 18c, 512GB RAM)
-
-- tb4-virl1:
-
- - Status: Production
- - OS: Ubuntu 16.04.2
- - STD server version 0.10.32.16
- - UWM server version 0.10.32.16
-
-- tb4-virl2:
-
- - Status: Production
- - OS: Ubuntu 16.04.2
- - STD server version 0.10.32.16
- - UWM server version 0.10.32.16
-
-- tb4-virl3:
-
- - Status: Testing
- - OS: Ubuntu 16.04.2
- - STD server version 0.10.32.19
- - UWM server version 0.10.32.19
-
-Whenever a patch is submitted to gerrit for review, parallel VIRL simulations
-are started to reduce the time of execution of all functional tests. The number
-of parallel VIRL simulations is equal to number of test groups defined by
-TEST_GROUPS variable in :file:`csit/bootstrap.sh` file. The VIRL host to run
-VIRL simulation is selected based on least load algorithm per VIRL simulation.
-
-Every VIRL simulation uses the same three-node - Traffic Generator (TG node) and
-two Systems Under Test (SUT1 and SUT2) - "double-ring" topology. The appropriate
-pre-built VPP packages built by Jenkins for the patch under review are then
-installed on the two SUTs, along with their :file:`/etc/vpp/startup.conf` file,
-in all VIRL simulations.
-
-SUT Configuration - VIRL Guest VM
----------------------------------
-
-Configurations of the SUT VMs is defined in `VIRL topologies directory`_
-
-- List of SUT VM interfaces:::
-
-
-
-
-
-
-- Number of 2MB hugepages: 1024
-
-- Maximum number of memory map areas: 20000
-
-- Kernel Shared Memory Max: 2147483648 (vm.nr_hugepages * 2 * 1024 * 1024)
-
-SUT Configuration - VIRL Guest OS Linux
----------------------------------------
-
-In CSIT terminology, the VM operating system for both SUTs that |vpp-release| has
-been tested with, is the following:
-
-#. **Ubuntu VIRL image**
-
- This image implies Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, current as of yyyy-mm-dd (that is,
- package versions are those that would have been installed by a
- :command:`apt-get update`, :command:`apt-get upgrade` on that day), produced
- by CSIT disk image build scripts.
-
- The exact list of installed packages and their versions (including the Linux
- kernel package version) are included in `VIRL ubuntu images lists`_.
-
- A replica of this VM image can be built by running the :command:`build.sh`
- script in CSIT repository.
-
-#. **CentOS VIRL image**
-
- This image implies Centos 7.4-1711, current as of yyyy-mm-dd (that is,
- package versions are those that would have been installed by a
- :command:`yum update`, :command:`yum upgrade` on that day), produced
- by CSIT disk image build scripts.
-
- The exact list of installed packages and their versions (including the Linux
- kernel package version) are included in `VIRL centos images lists`_.
-
- A replica of this VM image can be built by running the :command:`build.sh`
- script in CSIT repository.
-
-#. **Nested VM image**
-
- In addition to the "main" VM image, tests which require VPP to communicate to
- a VM over a vhost-user interface, utilize a "nested" VM image.
-
- This "nested" VM is dynamically created and destroyed as part of a test case,
- and therefore the "nested" VM image is optimized to be small, lightweight and
- have a short boot time. The "nested" VM image is not built around any
- established Linux distribution, but is based on `BuildRoot
- `_, a tool for building embedded Linux systems. Just
- as for the "main" image, scripts to produce an identical replica of the
- "nested" image are included in CSIT GIT repository, and the image can be
- rebuilt using the "build.sh" script at `VIRL nested`_.
-
-DUT Configuration - VPP
------------------------
-
-Every System Under Test runs VPP SW application in Linux user-mode as a Device
-Under Test (DUT) node.
-
-**DUT port configuration**
-
-Port configuration of DUTs is defined in topology file that is generated per
-VIRL simulation based on the definition stored in `VIRL topologies directory`_.
-
-Example of DUT nodes configuration:::
-
- DUT1:
- type: DUT
- host: "10.30.51.157"
- port: 22
- username: cisco
- honeycomb:
- user: admin

-
-**Traffic generator**
-
-Functional tests utilize Scapy as a traffic generator. There was used Scapy
-v2.3.1 for |vpp-release| tests.
-
+Test Environment
+================
+
+CSIT functional tests are currently executed in FD.IO VIRL testbed. The physical
+VIRL testbed infrastructure consists of three VIRL hosts:
+
+- All hosts are Cisco UCS C240-M4 (2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2699 v3 @2.30GHz,
+ 18c, 512GB RAM)
+
+- tb4-virl1:
+
+ - Status: Production
+ - OS: Ubuntu 16.04.2
+ - STD server version 0.10.32.16
+ - UWM server version 0.10.32.16
+
+- tb4-virl2:
+
+ - Status: Production
+ - OS: Ubuntu 16.04.2
+ - STD server version 0.10.32.16
+ - UWM server version 0.10.32.16
+
+- tb4-virl3:
+
+ - Status: Testing
+ - OS: Ubuntu 16.04.2
+ - STD server version 0.10.32.19
+ - UWM server version 0.10.32.19
+
+Whenever a patch is submitted to gerrit for review, parallel VIRL simulations
+are started to reduce the time of execution of all functional tests. The number
+of parallel VIRL simulations is equal to number of test groups defined by
+TEST_GROUPS variable in :file:`csit/bootstrap.sh` file. The VIRL host to run
+VIRL simulation is selected based on least load algorithm per VIRL simulation.
+
+Every VIRL simulation uses the same three-node - Traffic Generator (TG node) and
+two Systems Under Test (SUT1 and SUT2) - "double-ring" topology. The appropriate
+pre-built VPP packages built by Jenkins for the patch under review are then
+installed on the two SUTs, along with their :file:`/etc/vpp/startup.conf` file,
+in all VIRL simulations.
+
+SUT Configuration - VIRL Guest VM
+---------------------------------
+
+Configurations of the SUT VMs is defined in `VIRL topologies directory`_
+
+- List of SUT VM interfaces:::
+
+
+
+
+
+
+- Number of 2MB hugepages: 1024
+
+- Maximum number of memory map areas: 20000
+
+- Kernel Shared Memory Max: 2147483648 (vm.nr_hugepages * 2 * 1024 * 1024)
+
+SUT Configuration - VIRL Guest OS Linux
+---------------------------------------
+
+In CSIT terminology, the VM operating system for both SUTs that |vpp-release| has
+been tested with, is the following:
+
+#. **Ubuntu VIRL image**
+
+ This image implies Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, current as of yyyy-mm-dd (that is,
+ package versions are those that would have been installed by a
+ :command:`apt-get update`, :command:`apt-get upgrade` on that day), produced
+ by CSIT disk image build scripts.
+
+ The exact list of installed packages and their versions (including the Linux
+ kernel package version) are included in `VIRL ubuntu images lists`_.
+
+ A replica of this VM image can be built by running the :command:`build.sh`
+ script in CSIT repository.
+
+#. **CentOS VIRL image**
+
+ This image implies Centos 7.4-1711, current as of yyyy-mm-dd (that is,
+ package versions are those that would have been installed by a
+ :command:`yum update`, :command:`yum upgrade` on that day), produced
+ by CSIT disk image build scripts.
+
+ The exact list of installed packages and their versions (including the Linux
+ kernel package version) are included in `VIRL centos images lists`_.
+
+ A replica of this VM image can be built by running the :command:`build.sh`
+ script in CSIT repository.
+
+#. **Nested VM image**
+
+ In addition to the "main" VM image, tests which require VPP to communicate to
+ a VM over a vhost-user interface, utilize a "nested" VM image.
+
+ This "nested" VM is dynamically created and destroyed as part of a test case,
+ and therefore the "nested" VM image is optimized to be small, lightweight and
+ have a short boot time. The "nested" VM image is not built around any
+ established Linux distribution, but is based on `BuildRoot
+ `_, a tool for building embedded Linux systems. Just
+ as for the "main" image, scripts to produce an identical replica of the
+ "nested" image are included in CSIT GIT repository, and the image can be
+ rebuilt using the "build.sh" script at `VIRL nested`_.
+
+DUT Configuration - VPP
+-----------------------
+
+Every System Under Test runs VPP SW application in Linux user-mode as a Device
+Under Test (DUT) node.
+
+**DUT port configuration**
+
+Port configuration of DUTs is defined in topology file that is generated per
+VIRL simulation based on the definition stored in `VIRL topologies directory`_.
+
+Example of DUT nodes configuration:::
+
+ DUT1:
+ type: DUT
+ host: "10.30.51.157"
+ port: 22
+ username: cisco
+ honeycomb:

+TG Configuration
+----------------
+
+Traffic Generator node is VM running the same OS Linux as SUTs. Ports of this
+VM are used as source (Tx) and destination (Rx) ports for the traffic.
+
+Traffic scripts of test cases are executed on this VM.
