-=====================================
-Performance-thread  performance Tests
-=====================================
-
-The Performance-Thread results are produced using ``l3fwd-thread`` application.
-
-For more information about Performance Thread sameple applicaton please refer to 
-link: http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/sample_app_ug/performance_thread.html
-
-Prerequisites
-=============
-
-1. Hardware requirements:
-
-    - For each CPU socket, each memory channel should be populated with at least 1x DIMM
-    - Board is populated with 4x 1GbE or 10GbE ports. Special PCIe restrictions may
-      be required for performance. For example, the following requirements should be
-      met for Intel 82599 (Niantic) NICs:
-
-        - NICs are plugged into PCIe Gen2 or Gen3 slots
-        - For PCIe Gen2 slots, the number of lanes should be 8x or higher
-        - A single port from each NIC should be used, so for 4x ports, 4x NICs should
-          be used
-
-    - NIC ports connected to traffic generator. It is assumed that the NIC ports
-      P0, P1 (as identified by the DPDK application) are connected to the
-      traffic generator ports TG0, TG1. The application-side port mask of
-      NIC ports P0, P1 is noted as PORTMASK in this section.
-
-2. BIOS requirements:
-
-    - Intel Hyper-Threading Technology is ENABLED
-    - Hardware Prefetcher is DISABLED
-    - Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch is DISABLED
-    - Direct Cache Access is DISABLED
-
-3. Linux kernel requirements:
-
-    - Linux kernel has the following features enabled: huge page support, UIO, HPET
-    - Appropriate number of huge pages are reserved at kernel boot time
-    - The IDs of the hardware threads (logical cores) per each CPU socket can be
-      determined by parsing the file /proc/cpuinfo. The naming convention for the
-      logical cores is: C{x.y.z} = hyper-thread z of physical core y of CPU socket x,
-      with typical values of x = 0 .. 3, y = 0 .. 7, z = 0 .. 1. Logical cores
-      C{0.0.1} and C{0.0.1} should be avoided while executing the test, as they are
-      used by the Linux kernel for running regular processes.
-
-4. The application options to be used in below test cases are listed as well as the 
-general description.::
-
-    ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/examples/dpdk-l3fwd-thread [EAL options] -- \
-        -p PORTMASK [-P]
-        --rx(port,queue,lcore,thread)[,(port,queue,lcore,thread)]
-        --tx(lcore,thread)[,(lcore,thread)]
-        [--enable-jumbo] [--max-pkt-len PKTLEN]]
-        [--no-lthreads]
-
-   For other options please refer to URL memtioned above for detail explanation.
-
-5. Traffic generator requirements
-
-The flows need to be configured and started by the traffic generator:
-

-  | Flow | Traffic | MAC        | MAC           | IPV4       | IPV4    |

-  |   2  |   TG1   | Random Mac | DUT port1 Mac | Random IP  | 1.1.1.1 |
-  +------+---------+------------+---------------+------------+---------+
-
-6. Test results table.
-
-Frame sizes should be configured from 64,128,256,512,1024,2000, etc
