Hi Stanislav,

Here is a quick description of CSIT testbeds and environment setup - thanks to 
Peter for providing that info:-


Current CSIT environment located at LFN datacenter consists of several physical 
testbeds - see specs here: 
https://csit.fd.io/cdocs/infrastructure/fdio_dc_testbed_specifications/

Each server is installed by a set of PXE + cloudinit scripts: 
https://github.com/FDio/csit/tree/master/fdio.infra/pxe/

Once the servers are installed, they are provisioned by a set of ansible rules, 
based on the role [sut,tg] defined in hosts file: 
https://github.com/FDio/csit/tree/master/fdio.infra.ansible


Completing above steps is pre-requisite for running CSIT.

Once the servers are provisioned, topology files have to be created manually: 
https://github.com/FDio/csit/tree/master/topologies/available

Then one should be able to run CSIT framework:

 export BUILD_TAG=csit-vpp-perf-verify-master-2n-icx
 export JOB_NAME=csit-vpp-perf-verify-master-2n-icx
 export GERRIT_EVENT_TYPE=comment-added
 export GERRIT_EVENT_COMMENT_TEXT="mrrAND1c"
 ​
 pushd csit
 csit_entry_dir="./resources/libraries/bash/entry"
 source ${csit_entry_dir}/bootstrap_verify_perf.sh

Above can be tailored for any specific target environment. And we can assist 
with that :)

Hopefully this makes sense ...

Cheers,
-Maciek

Subject: [vpp-dev] running csit benchmarks locally

Hello folks,

First of all, I wanted to thank Maciek once again for a great talk over CSIT 
last Saturday on FOSDEM. I hope all the videos will be released soon so 
everybody can check them out - there were quite a few over the FD.io project.

I want to follow up with a question: how can I run CSIT benchmarks on my 
hardware? Using TRex as a traffic generator (don't have enough money for IXIA 
:) )

I also cc @vpp-dev as I think it'd be interesting for devs and users to measure 
the performance on their platforms.

Best regards
