+===========================================
+TestPmd rfc2544 test with IPV4/IPV6 packets
+===========================================
+
+This document provides rfc2544 tests for the userland Ethernet Controller Poll Mode Driver (PMD).
+The userland PMD application runs the ``IO forwarding mode`` test which described in the PMD test
+plan document with different parameters for the configuration of NIC ports.
+
+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-testpmd 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 dpdk-testpmd 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.
+
+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 0000:17:01.0
+
+2. Configure traffic generator to send traffic
+
+    Routing table for IPv4 packets:
+
+        +-------+-----------------------+
+        |   #   |    IPv4 (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    |
+        +-------+-----------------------+
+
+    Routing table for IPv6 packets:
+
+        +-------+--------------------------------------------+
+        |   #   |              IPv6 (IP/length)              |
+        +=======+============================================+
+        |   0   | 2001:0200:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/64 |
+        +-------+--------------------------------------------+
+        |   1   | 2001:0200:0000:0001:0000:0000:0000:0000/64 |
+        +-------+--------------------------------------------+
+        |   2   | 2001:0200:0000:0002:0000:0000:0000:0000/64 |
+        +-------+--------------------------------------------+
+        |   3   | 2001:0200:0000:0003:0000:0000:0000:0000/64 |
+        +-------+--------------------------------------------+
+
+    The flows need to be configured and started by the traffic generator:
+        - IPv4 packets
+
+        +------+---------+------------+---------+
+        | Flow | Traffic | IPv4       | IPv4    |

+        |      | 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.
+
+        - IPv6 packets
+
+        +------+---------+-----------------------------------------+---------+
+        | Flow | Traffic |                                         | IPv6    |
+        |      | Gen.    |           IPV6 Dst. Address             | Src.    |
+        |      | Port    |                                         | Address |

+        +------+---------+-----------------------------------------+---------+
+
+        Set the packet length : 66 bytes-1518 bytes
+        The IPV6 Src Address increase with the num 1024.
+
+3. Test result table

+    |  Fwd_core | Frame Size |  Throughput |   Rate  |
+    +===========+============+=============+=========+
+    |  1C/1T    |    64      |  xxxxx Mpps |   xxx % |
+    +-----------+------------+-------------+---------+

+Test Case: testpmd rfc2544 performance with IPv4/IPv6 Packets
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1. Bind tested ports to dpdk driver as common step 1.
+
+2. Start dpdk-testpmd::
+
+    <build_dir>/app/dpdk-testpmd -l 5,6 -n 8 --force-max-simd-bitwidth=512 \
+     -- -i --portmask=0x1 --rxq=1 --txq=1 --txd=1024 --rxd=1024 --forward=io \
+     --nb-cores=1
+
+    Note:
+      -force-max-simd-bitwidth: This setting is used to determine the vector path for component selection.
+                                And the default is avx2.
+
+3. Configure traffic generator to send traffic as common step 2.
+
+4. Record Test results as common step 3.
