+Example: testpmd memif loopback
+-------------------------------
+In this example we will create 2 memif ports connected into loopback.
+The situation is analogous to cross connecting 2 ports of the NIC by cable.
+
+To set the loopback, just use the same socket and id with different roles::
+
+ #./testpmd --vdev=net_memif0,role=master,id=0 --vdev=net_memif1,role=slave,id=0 -- -i
+
+Then start the communication::
+
+ testpmd> start tx_first
+
+Finally we can check port stats to see the traffic::
+
+ testpmd> show port stats all
+ testpmd> show port stats all
