+| ... |
+| ... | - **[Enc] Packet Encapsulations:** Eth-IPv6 for IPv6 routing.
+| ... |
+| ... | - **[Cfg] DUT configuration:** DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with IPv6 \
+| ... | routing and 6x100k static IPv6 /64 route entries. DUT1 and DUT2 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, 100k flows per \
+| ... | flow-group) with all packets containing Ethernet header, IPv6 header \
+| ... | with IP and static payload. MAC addresses are matching MAC addresses \
+| ... | of the TG node interfaces. Incrementing of IP.dst (IPv6 destination \
+| ... | address) field is applied to both streams.
+| ... |
+| ... | - **[Ref] Applicable standard specifications:** RFC2544.

+| ... | (Partial Drop Rate) with non-zero packet loss tolerance (LT) \
+| ... | expressed in percentage of packets transmitted. NDR and PDR are \
