+# QUIC/UDP/IP with vpp_echo
+
+[vpp_echo performance testing tool](https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/HostStack#External_Echo_Server.2FClient_.28vpp_echo.29)
+is a bespoke performance test application which utilizes the 'native
+HostStack APIs' to verify performance and correct handling of
+connection/stream events with uni-directional and bi-directional
+streams of data.
+
+Because iperf3 does not support the QUIC transport protocol, vpp_echo
+is used for measuring the maximum attainable goodput of the VPP Host
+Stack connection utilizing the QUIC transport protocol across two
+instances of VPP running on separate DUT nodes. The QUIC transport
+protocol supports multiple streams per connection and test cases
+utilize different combinations of QUIC connections and number of
+streams per connection.
+
+The test configuration is as follows:
+
+            DUT1               Network                DUT2
+    [ vpp_echo-client -> VPP1 ]=======[ VPP2 -> vpp_echo-server]
+                          N-streams/connection
+
+where,
+
+1. vpp_echo server attaches to VPP2 and LISTENs on VPP2:TCP port 1234.
+2. vpp_echo client creates one or more connections to VPP1 and opens
+   one or more stream per connection to VPP2:TCP port 1234.
+3. vpp_echo client transmits a uni-directional stream as fast as the
+   VPP Host Stack allows to the vpp_echo server for the test duration.
+4. At the end of the test the vpp_echo client emits the goodput
+   measurements for all streams and the sum of all streams.
+
+Test cases include
+
+1. 1 QUIC Connection with 1 Stream
+2. 1 QUIC connection with 10 Streams
+3. 10 QUIC connetions with 1 Stream
+4. 10 QUIC connections with 10 Streams
+
+with stream sizes to provide reasonable test durations. The VPP Host
+Stack QUIC transport is configured to utilize the picotls encryption
+library. In the future, tests utilizing addtional encryption
+algorithms will be added.
