FD.io CSIT is an open benchmark effort

FD.io Complete System Integration Testing (CSIT) is software written for fully automated FD.io VPP code testing, functionality, performance, regression and new functions.

The CSIT Trending Report is a report that shows the FD.io performance over time. This report insures that over time FD.io will not have perfomance regressions.
