+| ... | *[Cfg] DUT configuration:* DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with multiple
+| ... | IPsec tunnels between them. DUTs get IPv4 traffic from TG, encrypt it
+| ... | and send to another DUT, where packets are decrypted and sent back to TG
+| ... | *[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 number
+| ... | of packets transmitted. NDR is discovered for different
+| ... | number of IPsec tunnels using binary 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, number of flows per flow-group equals to
+| ... | number of IPSec tunnels) 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 interfaces. Incrementing of IP.dst (IPv4 destination address) field
+| ... | is applied to both streams.
+| ... | *[Ref] Applicable standard specifications:* RFC4303 and RFC2544.

+| ... | *[Enc] Packet Encapsulations:* Eth-IPv4 on TG-DUTn,
+| ... | Eth-IPv4-IPSec on DUT1-DUT2
+| ... | *[Cfg] DUT configuration:* DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with multiple
+| ... | IPsec tunnels between them. DUTs get IPv4 traffic from TG, encrypt it
+| ... | and send to another DUT, where packets are decrypted and sent back to TG
+| ... | *[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 number
+| ... | of packets transmitted. NDR is discovered for different
+| ... | number of IPsec tunnels using binary 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, number of flows per flow-group equals to
+| ... | number of IPSec tunnels) 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 interfaces. Incrementing of IP.dst (IPv4 destination address) field
+| ... | is applied to both streams.

+| ... | *[Cfg] DUT configuration:* DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with multiple

+| ... | and send to another DUT, where packets are decrypted and sent back to TG
+| ... | *[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 number
+| ... | of packets transmitted. NDR is discovered for different
+| ... | number of IPsec tunnels using binary 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, number of flows per flow-group equals to
+| ... | number of IPSec tunnels) 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 interfaces. Incrementing of IP.dst (IPv4 destination address) field
+| ... | is applied to both streams.

+| ... | *[Cfg] DUT configuration:* DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with multiple

+| ... | *[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 number
+| ... | of packets transmitted. NDR is discovered for different
+| ... | number of IPsec tunnels using binary 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, number of flows per flow-group equals to
+| ... | number of IPSec tunnels) 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 interfaces. Incrementing of IP.dst (IPv4 destination address) field

+| ... | *[Cfg] DUT configuration:* DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with multiple

+| ... | *[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 number
+| ... | of packets transmitted. NDR is discovered for different
+| ... | number of IPsec tunnels using binary 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, number of flows per flow-group equals to
+| ... | number of IPSec tunnels) 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 interfaces. Incrementing of IP.dst (IPv4 destination address) field

+| ... | *[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 number\
+| ... | of packets transmitted. NDR is discovered for different\
+| ... | number of IPsec tunnels using binary 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, number of flows per flow-group equals to\
+| ... | number of IPSec tunnels) with all packets\
+| ... | containing Ethernet header, IPv4 header with IP protocol=61 and\

+| ... | 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

+| ... | ingress /24 filter entries applied on links TG - DUT1 and DUT2 - TG.
+| ... | 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

+| ... | *[Ver] TG verification:* In short performance tests, TG verifies
+| ... | DUTs' throughput at ref-NDR (reference Non Drop Rate) with zero packet
+| ... | loss tolerance. Ref-NDR value is periodically updated acording to
+| ... | formula: ref-NDR = 0.9x NDR, where NDR is found in RFC2544 long
+| ... | performance tests for the same DUT configuration. 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

+| ... | *[Enc] Packet Encapsulations:* Eth-IPv4 for IPv4 routing.
+| ... | *[Cfg] DUT configuration:* DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with IPv4
+| ... | routing and two static IPv4 /24 route entries and policer with 2R3C
+| ... | color-aware configuration. Policer is applied on links TG - DUT1 and
+| ... | DUT2 - TG. 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
+| ... | generated payload. MAC addresses are matching MAC addresses of the TG
+| ... | node interfaces.

+| ... | 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, 10k 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 interfaces. Incrementing of IP.dst (IPv4 destination address) field
+| ... | is applied to both streams.

+| ... | *[Ver] TG verification:* In short performance tests, TG verifies
+| ... | DUTs' throughput at ref-NDR (reference Non Drop Rate) with zero packet
+| ... | loss tolerance. Ref-NDR value is periodically updated acording to
+| ... | formula: ref-NDR = 0.9x NDR, where NDR is found in RFC2544 long
+| ... | performance tests for the same DUT configuration. 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 generated payload. MAC addresses are matching MAC addresses of the
+| ... | TG node interfaces.

+| ... | 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, 10k flows per flow-group) with all packets
+| ... | containing Ethernet header, IPv6 header withq IP and static payload.

+| ... | *[Enc] Packet Encapsulations:* Eth-IPv6-LISP-IPv6 on DUT1-DUT2,\
+| ... | Eth-IPv6-ICMPv6 on TG-DUTn for IPv6 routing over LISPoIPv6 tunnel.
+| ... | *[Cfg] DUT configuration:* DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with IPv6\

+| ... | between DUT1 and DUT2. DUT1 and DUT2 tested with 2p10GE NIC X520\
+| ... | Niantic by Intel.
+| ... | *[Ver] TG verification:* In short performance tests, TG verifies\
+| ... | DUTs' throughput at ref-PDR (reference Non Drop Rate) with zero packet\
+| ... | loss tolerance. Ref-PDR value is periodically updated acording to\
+| ... | formula: ref-PDR = 0.9x PDR, where PDR is found in RFC2544 long\
+| ... | performance tests for the same DUT confiiguration. 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, IPv6 header with\
+| ... | IP protocol=61 and generated payload.

+| ... | 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

+| ... | with single links between nodes.
+| ... | *[Enc] Packet Encapsulations:* Eth-IPv4 for L2 switching of IPv4. 802.1q
+| ... | tagging is applied on link between DUT1 and DUT2.
+| ... | *[Cfg] DUT configuration:* DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with L2 bridge-
+| ... | domain and MAC learning enabled. Qemu Guest is connected to VPP via
+| ... | vhost-user interfaces. Guest is running DPDK testpmd interconnecting
+| ... | vhost-user interfaces using 5 cores pinned to cpus 5-9 and 2048M
+| ... | memory. Testpmd is using socket-mem=1024M (512x2M hugepages), 5 cores
+| ... | (1 main core and 4 cores dedicated for io), forwarding mode is set to
+| ... | io, rxd/txd=256, burst=64. DUT1, DUT2 are 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
+| ... | interfaces.
+| ... | *[Ref] Applicable standard specifications:* RFC2544.

+| ... | *[Enc] Packet Encapsulations:* Eth-IPv4 for L2 switching of IPv4.
+| ... | *[Cfg] DUT configuration:* DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with L2 bridge-
+| ... | domains and MAC learning enabled. Qemu Guests are connected to VPP via
+| ... | vhost-user interfaces. Guests are running DPDK testpmd interconnecting
+| ... | vhost-user interfaces using 5 cores pinned to cpus 6-10 and 11-15 and
+| ... | 2048M memory. Testpmd is using socket-mem=1024M (512x2M hugepages),
+| ... | 5 cores (1 main core and 4 cores dedicated for io), forwarding mode is

+| ... | *[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
+| ... | interfaces.

+| Documentation | *RFC2544: Pkt throughput L2XC test cases with vhost*
+| ...
+| ... | *[Top] Network Topologies:* TG-DUT1-DUT2-TG 3-node circular topology
+| ... | with single links between nodes.
+| ... | *[Enc] Packet Encapsulations:* Eth-IPv4 for L2 cross connect.
+| ... | *[Cfg] DUT configuration:* DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with L2 cross-
+| ... | connect. Qemu Guest is connected to VPP via vhost-user interfaces.
+| ... | Guest is running DPDK testpmd interconnecting vhost-user interfaces
+| ... | using 5 cores pinned to cpus 5-9 and 2048M memory. Testpmd is using
+| ... | socket-mem=1024M (512x2M hugepages), 5 cores (1 main core and 4 cores
+| ... | dedicated for io), forwarding mode is set to io, rxd/txd=256,
+| ... | burst=64. DUT1, DUT2 are 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
+| ... | interfaces.
+| ... | *[Ref] Applicable standard specifications:* RFC2544.

+| ... | *[Enc] Packet Encapsulations:* Eth-IPv4 for L2 switching of IPv4. 802.1q
+| ... | tagging is applied on link between DUT1 and DUT2.
+| ... | *[Cfg] DUT configuration:* DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with L2 cross-
+| ... | connect. Qemu Guest is connected to VPP via
+| ... | vhost-user interfaces. Guest is running DPDK testpmd interconnecting
+| ... | vhost-user interfaces using 5 cores pinned to cpus 5-9 and 2048M
+| ... | memory. Testpmd is using socket-mem=1024M (512x2M hugepages), 5 cores
+| ... | (1 main core and 4 cores dedicated for io), forwarding mode is set to
+| ... | io, rxd/txd=256, burst=64. DUT1, DUT2 are tested with 2p10GE NIC X520
+| ... | Niantic by Intel.
+| ... | *[Ver] TG verification:* TG verifies throughput PDR (Partial Drop
+| ... | Rate) with non-zero packet loss tolerance (LT) expressed in percentage
+| ... | of packets transmitted. Ref-PDR value is periodically updated acording to
+| ... | formula: ref-PDR = 0.9x PDR, where PDR is found in RFC2544 long
+| ... | performance tests for the same DUT configuration. 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

+| ... | with single links between nodes.
+| ... | *[Enc] Packet Encapsulations:* Eth-IPv4 for L2 cross connect.
+| ... | *[Cfg] DUT configuration:* DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with L2 cross-
+| ... | connects. Qemu Guests are connected to VPP via vhost-user interfaces.
+| ... | Guests are running DPDK testpmd interconnecting vhost-user interfaces
+| ... | using 5 cores pinned to cpus 6-10 and 11-15 and 2048M memory. Testpmd is
+| ... | using socket-mem=1024M (512x2M hugepages), 5 cores (1 main core and 4
+| ... | cores dedicated for io), forwarding mode is set to io, rxd/txd=256,
+| ... | burst=64. DUT1, DUT2 are 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
+| ... | interfaces.
+| ... | *[Ref] Applicable standard specifications:* RFC2544.

+| ... | *[Enc] Packet Encapsulations:* Eth-IPv4 for IPv4 routing.
+| ... | *[Cfg] DUT configuration:* DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with IPv4
+| ... | routing and two static IPv4 /24 route entries. Qemu Guest is connected
+| ... | to VPP via vhost-user interfaces. Guest is running DPDK testpmd
+| ... | interconnecting vhost-user interfaces using 5 cores pinned to cpus 5-9
+| ... | and 2048M memory. Testpmd is using socket-mem=1024M (512x2M hugepages),
+| ... | 5 cores (1 main core and 4 cores dedicated for io), forwarding mode is
+| ... | set to mac, rxd/txd=256, burst=64. DUT1, DUT2 are 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
+| ... | interfaces.
+| ... | *[Ref] Applicable standard specifications:* RFC2544.

+| ... | with single links between nodes.
+| ... | *[Enc] Packet Encapsulations:* Eth-IPv4 for L2 switching of IPv4.
+| ... | Eth-IPv4-VXLAN-Eth-IPv4 is applied on link between DUT1 and DUT2.
+| ... | *[Cfg] DUT configuration:* DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with L2 bridge-
+| ... | domain and MAC learning enabled. Qemu Guest is connected to VPP via
+| ... | vhost-user interfaces. Guest is running DPDK testpmd interconnecting
+| ... | vhost-user interfaces using 5 cores pinned to cpus 5-9 and 2048M
+| ... | memory. Testpmd is using socket-mem=1024M (512x2M hugepages), 5 cores
+| ... | (1 main core and 4 cores dedicated for io), forwarding mode is set to
+| ... | io, rxd/txd=256, burst=64. DUT1, DUT2 are 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
+| ... | interfaces.
+| ... | *[Ref] Applicable standard specifications:* RFC2544, RFC7348.

+| ... | *[Enc] Packet Encapsulations:* Eth-IPv4 for L2 switching of IPv4.
+| ... | *[Cfg] DUT configuration:* DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with L2 bridge-
+| ... | domain and MAC learning enabled. Qemu Guest is connected to VPP via
+| ... | vhost-user interfaces. Guest is running DPDK testpmd interconnecting
+| ... | vhost-user interfaces using 5 cores pinned to cpus on NUMA1 and 2048M
+| ... | memory. Testpmd is using socket-mem=1024M (512x2M hugepages), 5 cores
+| ... | (1 main core and 4 cores dedicated for io), forwarding mode is set to
+| ... | io, rxd/txd=256, burst=64. DUT1, DUT2 are tested with 2p10GE NIC X710
+| ... | 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
+| ... | interfaces.
+| ... | *[Ref] Applicable standard specifications:* RFC2544.

+| ... | 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 bridge-
+| ... | domain and MAC learning enabled. Qemu Guest is connected to VPP via
+| ... | vhost-user interfaces. Guest is running DPDK testpmd interconnecting
+| ... | vhost-user interfaces using 5 cores pinned to cpus on NUMA1 and 2048M
+| ... | memory. Testpmd is using socket-mem=1024M (512x2M hugepages), 5 cores
+| ... | (1 main core and 4 cores dedicated for io), forwarding mode is set to
+| ... | io, rxd/txd=256, burst=64. DUT1, DUT2 are tested with 2p40GE NIC XL710
+| ... | 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
+| ... | interfaces.
+| ... | *[Ref] Applicable standard specifications:* RFC2544.

+| ... | *[Enc] Packet Encapsulations:* Eth-IPv4 for L2 switching of IPv4.
+| ... | *[Cfg] DUT configuration:* DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with L2 bridge-
+| ... | domain and MAC learning enabled. Qemu Guests are connected to VPP via
+| ... | vhost-user interfaces. Guests are running DPDK testpmd interconnecting
+| ... | vhost-user interfaces using 5 cores pinned to cpus on NUMA1 and 2048M
+| ... | memory. Testpmd is using socket-mem=1024M (512x2M hugepages), 5 cores
+| ... | (1 main core and 4 cores dedicated for io), forwarding mode is set to
+| ... | io, rxd/txd=256, burst=64. DUT1, DUT2 are tested with 2p40GE NIC XL710
+| ... | 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
+| ... | interfaces.
+| ... | *[Ref] Applicable standard specifications:* RFC2544.

+| ... | 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-
+| ... | connects. Qemu Guests are connected to VPP via vhost-user interfaces.
+| ... | Guests are running DPDK testpmd interconnecting vhost-user interfaces
+| ... | using 5 cores pinned to cpus on NUMA1 (cpus 24-28 and 29-34) and 2048M
+| ... | memory. Testpmd is using socket-mem=1024M (512x2M hugepages), 5 cores
+| ... | (1 main core and 4 cores dedicated for io), forwarding mode is set to
+| ... | io, rxd/txd=256, burst=64. DUT1, DUT2 are tested with 2p40GE NIC XL710
+| ... | 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
+| ... | interfaces.
+| ... | *[Ref] Applicable standard specifications:* RFC2544.

+| ... | *[Enc] Packet Encapsulations:* Eth-IPv4 forIPv4 routing.
+| ... | *[Cfg] DUT configuration:* DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with IPv4
+| ... | routing and static IPv4 /24 route entries. Qemu Guests are connected to
+| ... | VPP via vhost-user interfaces. Guests are running DPDK testpmd
+| ... | interconnecting vhost-user interfaces using 5 cores pinned to cpus on
+| ... | NUMA1 (cpus 24-28 and 29-34) and 2048M memory. Testpmd is using
+| ... | socket-mem=1024M (512x2M hugepages), 5 cores (1 main core and 4 cores
+| ... | dedicated for io), forwarding mode is set to io, rxd/txd=256, burst=64.
+| ... | DUT1, DUT2 are tested with 2p40GE NIC XL710 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
+| ... | interfaces.
