   1 L2 Ethernet Switching
   2 =====================
   3
   4 Following sections include summary graphs of VPP Phy-to-Phy performance
   5 with L2 Ethernet switching, including NDR throughput (zero packet loss)
   6 and PDR throughput (<0.5% packet loss). Performance is reported for VPP
   7 running in multiple configurations of VPP worker thread(s), a.k.a. VPP
   8 data plane thread(s), and their physical CPU core(s) placement.
