+TRex stateful performance::
+
+Using the following command, running on x710 card with VF driver, we can see that TRex can reach 30GBps, using only one core. We can also see that the average latency is around 20 usec, which is pretty much the same value we get on loopback ports with x710 physical function without VF.

+We can see, that we can reach 8M packet per second, which in this case is around 24.28 Gbit/second.
