+========================================================
+L3 forwarding rfc2544 test in LPM mode with IPV4 packets
+========================================================
+
+RFC2544 Zero packet loss test case: Used to determine the DUT throughput as defined in
+RFC1242(https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1242.txt). Note RFC6201
+https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc6201.txt has updated RFC2544 and RFC1242. Please check the link
+for more details. In this case, RFC2544 test uses DPDK l3fwd as test application.
+
+Prerequisites
+=============
+
+Topology
+--------
+It requires at least 1 port connected traffic generator::
+        Port0 --- TG0
+
+2 ports::
+        Port0 --- TG0
+        Port1 --- TG1
+
+4 ports::
+        Port0 --- TG0
+        Port1 --- TG1
+        Port2 --- TG2
+        Port3 --- TG3
+
+Hardware
+--------
+This suite focus on l3fwd application, so any standard Ethernet Network Adapter is qualified.
+
+Software
+--------
+dpdk: git clone http://dpdk.org/git/dpdk
+trex: git clone http://trex-tgn.cisco.com/trex/release/v2.93.tar.gz
+
+
+Test Case
+=========
+Send a specific number of frames at a specific rate through the DUT and then
+count the frames that are transmitted by the DUT. If the count of offered frames is not equal
+to the count of received frames, the rate of the offered stream is reduced and the test is rerun.
+The throughput is the fastest rate at which the count of test frames transmitted by the DUT is
+equal to the number of test frames sent to it by the test equipment.
+
+The l3fwd application has a number of command line options, here list the key options will be tested::
+
+    ./dpdk-l3fwd [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK
+                             [--force-max-simd-bitwidth=max-simd-bitwidth]
+                             --config(port,queue,lcore)[,(port,queue,lcore)]
+                             [--rx-queue-size NPKTS]
+                             [--tx-queue-size NPKTS]
+                             [--parse-ptype]
+                             [-L]|[-E]
+                             ...
+    Note:
+        --force-max-simd-bitwidth: This setting is used to determine the vector path for component selection.
+                                   And the default is avx2.
+        --rx-queue-size: Rx queue size in decimal and default is 1024.
+        --tx-queue-size: Tx queue size in decimal and default is 1024.
+        --parse-ptype: Optional, set to use software to analyze packet type.
+                       Without this option, hardware will check the packet type.
+        [-L]|[-E]: L3fwd uses the parameters "-L" and "-E" to correspond to LPM and EM modes respectively.
+                   And the default is LPM mode.
+
+Common Steps
+------------
+1. Bind tested ports to vfio-pci::
+
+    <dpdk_dir>#./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -s
+    0000:17:00.0 'Device 1592' if=ens5f0 drv=ice unused=vfio-pci
+    <dpdk_dir>#./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci <pci device id>
+    <dpdk_dir>#./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 0000:17:00.0
+
+2. Configure traffic generator to send traffic
+
+    Routing table for IPv4 packets
+      - In LPM mode, the LPM table used for packet routing is:
+
+    +-------+-----------------------+
+    |   #   | LPM prefix (IP/length)|
+    +=======+=======================+
+    |   0   |      198.18.0.0/24    |
+    +-------+-----------------------+
+    |   1   |      198.18.1.0/24    |
+    +-------+-----------------------+
+    |   2   |      198.18.2.0/24    |
+    +-------+-----------------------+
+    |   3   |      198.18.3.0/24    |
+    +-------+-----------------------+
+
+    The flows need to be configured and started by the traffic generator:
+      - IPv4 packets
+
+    +------+---------+------------+---------+
+    | Flow | Traffic | IPv4       | IPv4    |
+    |      | Gen.    | Dst.       | Src.    |
+    |      | Port    | Address    | Address |
+    +======+=========+============+=========+
+    |   1  |   TG0   | 198.18.1.1 |  Any Ip |
+    +------+---------+------------+---------+
+    |   2  |   TG1   | 198.18.0.1 |  Any Ip |
+    +------+---------+------------+---------+
+    |   3  |   TG2   | 198.18.3.1 |  Any Ip |
+    +------+---------+------------+---------+
+    |   4  |   TG3   | 198.18.2.1 |  Any Ip |
+    +------+---------+------------+---------+
+
+    Set the packet length : 64 bytes-1518 bytes
+    The IPV4 Src Address increase with the num 1024.
+
+3. Test result table
+
+    +-----------+------------+-------------+---------+
+    |  Fwd_core | Frame Size |  Throughput |   Rate  |
+    +===========+============+=============+=========+
+    |  1C/1T    |    64      |  xxxxx Mpps |   xxx % |
+    +-----------+------------+-------------+---------+
+    |  1C/1T    |   ...      |  xxxxx Mpps |   xxx % |
+    +-----------+------------+-------------+---------+
+    |  2C/2T    |    64      |  xxxxx Mpps |   xxx % |
+    +-----------+------------+-------------+---------+
+    |  2C/2T    |    ...     |  xxxxx Mpps |   xxx % |
+    +-----------+------------+-------------+---------+
+    |  4C/4T    |    64      |  xxxxx Mpps |   xxx % |
+    +-----------+------------+-------------+---------+
+    |  4C/4T    |    ...     |  xxxxx Mpps |   xxx % |
+    +-----------+------------+-------------+---------+
+    |  8C/8T    |    64      |  xxxxx Mpps |   xxx % |
+    +-----------+------------+-------------+---------+
+    |  8C/8T    |    ...     |  xxxxx Mpps |   xxx % |
+    +-----------+------------+-------------+---------+
+
+
+Test Case: test_perf_rfc2544_ipv4_lpm
+-------------------------------------
+
+1. Bind PF ports to dpdk driver as common step 1.
+
+2. Launch l3fwd::
+
+     <build_dir>/examples/dpdk-l3fwd -l 5-8 -n 8 --force-max-simd-bitwidth=512 \
+     -- -p 0x1 --config "(0,0,5),(0,1,6),(0,2,7),(0,3,8)" --rx-queue-size 1024 \
+     --tx-queue-size 1024
+
+3. Configure traffic generator to send traffic as common step 2.
+
+4. Record Test results as common step 3.
