#* [TBD] pending functional testcases to utilize additional NIC
# [TBD] Establish HW performance boundaries
#* [TBD] Need to validate functional testing for all NICs first
#* [TBD] UCS servers with NICs, CPU, PCI and Memory sub-systems

==CSIT VIRL testbeds==

# [DONE, ckoester] Initial setup
#* 3-node topology (similar to physical testbeds)
#* Automatic spawning of VIRL topology, VPP installation, creation of topology file for CSIT testing
# [TBD, ckoester] Expand hardware - PRIO 1 - ETA week of 04/11
#* Install two more ucs c240m4
#* Waiting for UCS servers to be delivered and installed, ETA 2 weeks
# [TBD] Implement additional topologies
#* [TBD] 2-node testbed
#* [TBD] Star topologies
#* [TBD] Larger rings
# [DONE, ckoester] Nested VM [gerrit.fd.io change]
#* [DONE] used for vhost-user interface testing
# [TBD] Host management and monitoring
#* Reservations, load-balancing, redundancy
#* Usage monitoring

==CSIT LF VM cloud testbeds==

# [TBD] Develop nested virtualisation
#* [DONE, ckoester] KVM-in-KVM working on VIRL machines [https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/665/ gerrit.fd.io change]
#* [TBD] Run 3-node topology inside LF hosted VM cloud
#** Once running, it will enable elastic scaling of funcational VPP tests in LF VM cloud

==CSIT Testsuite Portability==

# [TBD] Distributable VIRL
#* [TBD] Small VIRL topology for portable/laptop use
#* [TBD] Public repository of topologies
#* [TBD] Allow VPP code developers to test their code in their environment before committing
