-Sample Application Tests: Netmap Compatibility
-==============================================
-
-Introduction
-============
-
-The Netmap compatibility library provides a minimal set of APIs to give programs written against the Netmap APIs
-the ability to be run, with minimal changes to their source code, using the DPDK to perform the actual packet I/O.
-
-Since Netmap applications use regular system calls, like ``open()``, ``ioctl()`` and
-``mmap()`` to communicate with the Netmap kernel module performing the packet I/O,
-the ``compat_netmap`` library provides a set of similar APIs to use in place of those system calls,
-effectively turning a Netmap application into a DPDK application.
-
-The provided library is currently minimal and doesn't support all the features that Netmap supports,
-but is enough to run simple applications, such as the bridge example detailed below.
-
-Knowledge of Netmap is required to understand the rest of this section.
-Please refer to the Netmap distribution for details about Netmap.
-
-Running the "bridge" Sample Application
-=======================================
-
-The application requires a single command line option::
-
-    ./build/bridge [EAL options] -- -i INTERFACE_A [-i INTERFACE_B]
-
-Where:
-
-*   ``-i INTERFACE``: Interface (DPDK port number) to use.
-
-    If a single ``-i`` parameter is given, the interface will send back all the traffic it receives.
-    If two ``-i`` parameters are given, the two interfaces form a bridge,
-    where traffic received on one interface is replicated and sent to the other interface.
-
-For example, to run the application in a linuxapp environment using port 0 and 2::
-
-    ./build/bridge [EAL options] -- -i 0 -i 2
-
-Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide for Linux* for general information on running applications and
-the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
-
-Test Case1: netmap compat with one port
-=======================================
-Run bridge with one port::
-
-        ./examples/netmap_compat/build/bridge -c 0x1e -n 4 -- -i 0
-
-waked up::
-
-        Port 0 now in Netmap mode
-        Bridge up and running!
-
-Send one packet on Port0,check this port receive packet.
-It receive one packet that it send.
-
-Test Case2: netmap compat with two port
-=======================================
-
-Run bridge with two ports::
-
-        ./examples/netmap_compat/build/bridge -c 0x1e -n 4 -- -i 0 -i 1
-
-waked up::
-
-        Port 0 now in Netmap mode
-        Port 1 now in Netmap mode
-        Bridge up and running!
-
-Send one packet on Port0,check the port1 receive packet.
-It receive one packet that the port0 send.
