+| ... | Memif interface. LXC is running same VPP version as running on DUT. LXC
+| ... | is limited via cgroup to use 3 cores allocated from pool of isolated
+| ... | CPUs. There are no memory constraints. DUT1 and DUT2 tested with

+| ... | *[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 MLRsearch library.
+| ... | 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

+| ... | *[Enc] Packet Encapsulations:* Eth-IPv4 for L2 bridge domain.
+| ... | *[Cfg] DUT configuration:* DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with two L2
+| ... | bridge domains and MAC learning enabled. LXC is connected to VPP via
+| ... | Memif interface. LXC is running same VPP version as running on DUT. LXC
+| ... | is limited via cgroup to use 3 cores allocated from pool of isolated
+| ... | CPUs. There are no memory constraints. DUT1 and DUT2 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 MLRsearch library.
+| ... | 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
+| ... | addresses of the TG node interfaces.

+| ... | LXC is connected to VPP via Memif interface. LXC is running same VPP

+| ... | *[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 MLRsearch library.
+| ... | 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
+| ... | addresses of the TG node interfaces.
