Hello,

The DTS group has met and agreed on the top level goals for 25.11 DTS development.

DTS Roadmap:

   * DTS API
      * Provide a single point of entry into the framework for all test suites, allowing stable usage across releases and user friendly discoverability of dts functionality
   * Packet Forwarding Performance Tests
   * Cryptodev testing
      * (framework): Adding a shell class for the dpdk-crypto-perf application
      * (testsuites) : Encrypt/decrypt workloads with the various supported algorithms on DPDK NICs.
         * Can be implemented as a set of functional tests or (pending community discussion) can support crypto performance baselines
   * Testing with single NIC with the 2 interfaces connected in a loopback
      * This appears to be working currently, but need to be documented better for users
   * Virtio testing support:
      * Add support for DTS spinning up a QEMU VM with a virtio device
      * Implement various testing scenarios for virtio interfaces on a VM
   * Additional functional ethdev testsuites:
      * Ethertype Testsuite
      * QinQ Testsuite
      * RSS Testsuite
      * Rx/Tx Offload
      * And additional suites as detailed on Bugzilla where possible
   * File manager:
      * Add a dedicated file manager to handle passing files and artifacts
