-| ... | 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

-| ... | 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.
