Client Module
==================
-TRex Client is an object to access TRex server. It is per user. Each user can own number of interfaces.
-Multi user can interact with one TRex server each user should own a different set of interfaces.
+The TRex Client provides access to the TRex server.
+
+**Client and interfaces**
+
+Multiple users can interact with one TRex server. Each user "owns" a different set of interfaces.
The protocol is JSON-RPC2 over ZMQ transport.
-The API has two type of API
+In addition to the Python API, a console-based API interface is also available.
+
+Python-like example::
+.. c.start(ports = [0, 1], mult = "5mpps", duration = 10)

+Console-like example::
+.. c.start_line (" -f ../../../../stl/udp_1pkt_simple.py -m 10mpps --port 0 1 ")
