+| ... | at line rate and reports total received/sent packets over trial period.
+| ... | Test packets are generated by TG on links to DUTs. TG traffic profile
+| ... | contains two L3 flow-groups (flow-group per direction, 254 flows per
+| ... | flow-group) with all packets containing Ethernet header, IPv4 header
+| ... | with IP protocol=61 and static payload. MAC addresses are matching MAC
