Hi Gregory,

Your proposal sounds rather interesting. Certainly enabling DTS to 
accept YAML-written tests sounds more developer-friendly and should 
enable quicker test-writing. As this is an extra feature though – and a 
nice-to-have, it should definitely be discussed in the DTS meetings as 
Honnappa suggested already.

Another thing, I am not sure that the intention is that Scapy will be 
the only traffic generator supported. Could be very wrong here. In the 
case we'd support others too, how would you tackle this problem? We can 
discuss this in the meeting as well if needed.

Best,
Luca
