+| ... | *[Enc] Packet Encapsulations:* Eth-IPv4 for IPv4 routing.
+| ... | *[Cfg] DUT configuration:* DUT1 is configured with IPv4
+| ... | routing and two static IPv4 /24 route entries. Qemu VNFs are connected \
+| ... | to VPP via vhost-user interfaces. Guest is running VPP ip4 \
+| ... | interconnecting vhost-user interfaces, rxd/txd=1024. DUT1 is tested \
+| ... | with ${nic_name}.
+| ... | *[Ver] TG verification:* TG finds and reports throughput NDR (Non Drop\
+| ... | Rate) with zero packet loss tolerance and 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, 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.
