[RFC PATCH v1 0/3] dts: port over stats checks

[jspewock@iol.unh.edu]

From: Jeremy Spewock <jspewock@iol.unh.edu>

This series ports over the functionality of the stats_checks test suite
from old DTS, but I left it as an RFC just because the verification is
different than other test suites that we have written. Mainly because
verifying the accuracy of the port statistics while accounting for
noise on the wire is not the most straight-forward task. The way I
decided to differentiate noise from valid packets in this suite was I
used the MAC addresses of the packets and the software packet types
that are provided in the verbose output of testpmd.

Another idea for how to do this that I tried was using packet
checksums. I wanted originally to send packets with bad checksums and
assume that noise on the wire would either have a valid checksum or no
checksum at all, but this unfortunately only works for the RX side of
verbose output as the TX side does not reflect the same checksum
information.

Jeremy Spewock (3):
  dts: add clearing port stats and verbose mode to testpmd
  dts: add port stats checks test suite
  dts: add stats checks to schemai
