both for Phy-to-Phy (NIC-to-NIC) and Phy-to-VM-to-Phy (NIC-to-VM-to-NIC)
forwarding topologies. Tested across a range of NICs, 10GE and 40GE
interfaces, range of multi-thread and multi-core configurations. VPP

+ interface) tests to interconnect VPP instances. VPP vswitch instance runs in
+ bare-metal user-mode handling Intel x520 NIC 10GbE interfaces and connecting
+ over memif (Master side) virtual interfaces to more instances of VPP running
+ in LXC or in Docker Containers, both with memif virtual interfaces (Slave
+ side). Tested across a range of NICs, 10GE and 40GE interfaces, range of
+ multi-thread and multi-core configurations. VPP application runs in host
+ user-mode. TRex is used as a traffic generator.

+ tests of Container topologies connected over the memif virtual interface
+ (shared memory interface). For these tests VPP vswitch instance runs in a
+ Docker Container handling Intel x520 NIC 10GbE interfaces and connecting over
+ memif (Master side) virtual interfaces to more instances of VPP running in
+ Docker Containers with memif virtual interfaces (Slave side). Tested across a
+ range of multi-thread and multi-core configurations. VPP application runs in
+ host user-mode. TRex is used as a traffic generator.
#. **DPDK Performance Tests** - VPP is using DPDK code to control and drive
the NICs and physical interfaces. Testpmd tests are used as a baseline to
