-| ... | Test suite uses 3-node topology TG - DUT1 - DUT2 - TG, with one link
-| ... | between nodes. Traffic profile contain 2 L2 streams (1 stream per
-| ... | direction). Packets contain Ethernet header, IPv4 header,
-| ... | IP protocol=61 and random payload. Ethernet header MAC addresses are
-| ... | matching MAC addresses of the TG node.
+| ... | *[Top] Network Topologies:* TG-DUT1-DUT2-TG 3-node circular topology
+| ... | with single links between nodes.
+| ... | *[Enc] Packet Encapsulations:* Eth-IPv4 for L2 switching of IPv4.
+| ... | *[Cfg] DUT configuration:* DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with L2 cross-
+| ... | connect. DUT1 and DUT2 tested with 2p10GE NIC X520 Niantic by Intel.
+| ... | *[Ver] TG verification:* TG finds and reports throughput NDR (Non Drop
+| ... | Rate) with zero packet loss tolerance or throughput PDR (Partial Drop
+| ... | Rate) with non-zero packet loss tolerance (LT) expressed in percentage
+| ... | of packets transmitted. NDR and PDR are discovered for different
+| ... | Ethernet L2 frame sizes using either binary search or linear search
+| ... | algorithms with configured starting rate and final step that determines
+| ... | throughput measurement resolution. Test packets are generated by TG on
+| ... | links to DUTs. TG traffic profile contains two L3 flow-groups
+| ... | (flow-group per direction, 253 flows per flow-group) with all packets
+| ... | containing Ethernet header, IPv4 header with IP protocol=61 and static
+| ... | payload. MAC addresses are matching MAC addresses of the TG node
