The unit test infrastructure validates flow rule creation and
a result produced by that flow.
Flow result is triggered by a packet.
However, flow result validation does not always can be done by testing a pa= cket.
Unit test implements 2 flow validation methods.

The first validation method tests testpmd output triggered by a test packet= .

Example: use the MODIFY_FIELD action to copy packet VLAN ID to flow TAG ite= m.
Flow tag is internal flow resource. It must be validated in DPDK applicatio= n.

Test creates 2 flow rules:

Rule 1: use MODIFY_FILED to copy packet VLAN ID to flow TAG item
pattern eth / vlan / end \
actions modify_field op set dst_type tag ... src_type vlan_id ... / end

Rule 2: validate the TAG item:
pattern tag data is 0x31 ... / end actions mark id 0xaaa / rss / end

The test sends a packet with VLAN ID 0x31: / Dot1Q(vlan=3D0x31) /
The test matches tespmd output triggered by the packet for
`FDIR matched ID=3D0xaaa`.

The second validation method tests a packet after it was processed by a flo= w.

Unit test operates in a static environment. It does not compare
source and target packets. The test "knows" valid target packet c= onfiguration.

Example: push VLAN header into a packet.

There is a single flow rule in that example:
pattern eth / end \
actions of_push_vlan ethertype 0x8100 / \
         of_set_vlan_vid vlan_vid 3= 103 .../ port_id id 1 / end


There are 2 SCAPY processes in that test: `tg` runs on peer host and
sends a source packet. `vm` runs on the same host as testpmd. It validates<= br> incoming packet.

Phase 0 prepares test packet on the `tg` and starts AsyncSniffer on the `vm= `.
Phase 1 sends the packet.
Phase 2 validates the packet.
The test can repeat phases 1 and 2.


phase0:
   vm: |
     sniff =3D AsyncSniffer(iface=3Dpf1vf0, filter=3D'u= dp and src port 1234')

   tg: |
     udp_packet =3D Ether(src=3D'11:22:33:44:55:66',             &nb= sp;           dst=3D'aa:b= b:cc:dd:ee:aa')/
            &nb= sp;     IP(src=3D'1.1.1.1', dst=3D'2.2.2.2')/
            &nb= sp;     UDP(sport=3D1234, dport=3D5678)/Raw('=3D=3D TES= T =3D=3D')

phase1: &phase1
   vm: sniff.start()
