+Executing VPP tests
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Currently it is not possible to use standard scenario deployments for execution of
+tests with VPP. It means, that deployments ``p2p``, ``pvp``, ``pvvp`` and in general any
+:ref:`pxp-deployment` won't work with VPP. However it is possible to use VPP in
+:ref:`step-driven-tests`. A basic set of VPP testcases covering ``phy2phy``, ``pvp``
+and ``pvvp`` tests are already prepared.
+
+List of performance tests with VPP support follows:
+
+* phy2phy_tput_vpp: VPP: LTD.Throughput.RFC2544.PacketLossRatio
+* phy2phy_cont_vpp: VPP: Phy2Phy Continuous Stream
+* phy2phy_back2back_vpp: VPP: LTD.Throughput.RFC2544.BackToBackFrames
+* pvp_tput_vpp: VPP: LTD.Throughput.RFC2544.PacketLossRatio
+* pvp_cont_vpp: VPP: PVP Continuous Stream
+* pvp_back2back_vpp: VPP: LTD.Throughput.RFC2544.BackToBackFrames
+* pvvp_tput_vpp: VPP: LTD.Throughput.RFC2544.PacketLossRatio
+* pvvp_cont_vpp: VPP: PVP Continuous Stream
+* pvvp_back2back_vpp: VPP: LTD.Throughput.RFC2544.BackToBackFrames
+
+In order to execute testcases with VPP it is required to:
+
+* install VPP manually, see :ref:`vpp-installation`
+* configure ``WHITELIST_NICS``, with two physical NICs connected to the traffic generator
+* configure traffic generator, see :ref:`trafficgen-installation`
+
+After that it is possible to execute VPP testcases listed above.
+
+For example:

+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ ./vsperf --conf-file=<path_to_custom_conf> phy2phy_tput_vpp
