+==========================================================================
+Benchmark the performance of single core forwarding with FVL25G/40G/NNT10G
+==========================================================================
+
+Prerequisites
+=============
+
+1. Hardware:
+    1) nic_single_core_perf test for FVL25G: two dual port FVL25G nics , all installed on the same socket, pick one port per nic
+    2) nic_single_core_perf test for FVL40G: two dual port FVL40G nics , all installed on the same socket, pick one port per nic
+    3) nic_single_core_perf test for NNT10G : four 82599 nics, all installed on the same socket, pick one port per nic
+  
+2. Software: 
+    dpdk: git clone http://dpdk.org/git/dpdk
+    scapy: http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/
+    dts (next branch): git clone http://dpdk.org/git/tools/dts, then "git checkout next" 
+    Trex source code: http://trex-tgn.cisco.com/trex/release/v2.26.tar.gz 
+    python-prettytable(uesed to output the test result matrix as a separate .txt file): 
+        apt install python-prettytable (for ubuntu os) 
+        or dnf install python-prettytable (for fedora os). 
+
+3. Connect all the selected nic ports to traffic generator(IXIA,TREX,PKTGEN) ports(TG ports).
+    2 TG 25g ports for FVL25G ports
+    2 TG 40g ports for FVL40G ports
+    4 TG 10g ports for 4 NNT10G ports
+    
+Test Case : nic_single_core_perf
+==================================
+1) Bind tested ports to igb_uio
+
+2) Start testpmd::
+
+     ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd -c 0x6 -n 4 -- -i  --portmask=0xf  --txd=128 --rxd=128
+        testpmd> start
+        
+3) Configure traffic generator to send traffic
+    configure one below stream for each TG port
+        dst mac: peer nic port mac
+        src ip : random
+        dst ip : random
+        packet length : 64 byte
+        
+4)  check throughput and compare it with the expected value.
+
+5)  for NNT10G, repeat above step 1-4 for txd=rxd=512,2048 separately.
+    for FVL25G and FVL40G nic, just test txd=rxd=512,2048 following above steps 1-4.
+
+6) print out below test results table for NNT10G, FVL25G, FVL40G separately
+        FVL40G:
++------------+---------+------------+------------+---------------------+
+| Frame Size | txd/rxd | Throughput |   Rate     | Expected throughput |
++============+=========+============+============+=====================+
+| 64         | 512     | xxxxxx     |   xxx %    |  xxx   Mpps         |
++------------+---------+------------+------------+---------------------+
+| 64         | 2048    | xxxxxx     |   xxx %    |  xxx   Mpps         |
++------------+---------+------------+------------+---------------------+
+
+        FVL25G:
++------------+---------+-------------+---------+---------------------+
+| Frame Size | TXD/RXD |  Throughput |   Rate  | Expected Throughput |
++------------+---------+-------------+---------+---------------------+
+|     64     |   512   | xxxxxx Mpps |   xxx % |     xxx    Mpps     |
+|     64     |   2048  | xxxxxx Mpps |   xxx % |     xxx    Mpps     |
++------------+---------+-------------+---------+---------------------+
+
+        for NNT10G:
++------------+---------+-------------+---------+---------------------+
+| Frame Size | TXD/RXD |  Throughput |   Rate  | Expected Throughput |
++------------+---------+-------------+---------+---------------------+
+|     64     |   128   | xxxxxx Mpps |   xxx % |       xxx  Mpps     |
+|     64     |   512   | xxxxxx Mpps |   xxx % |       xxx  Mpps     |
+|     64     |   2048  | xxxxxx Mpps |   xxx % |       xxx  Mpps     |
++------------+---------+-------------+---------+---------------------+
+
+Note : The values for the Expected throughput may vary due to different platform and OS, and traffic generator,
+       please correct thest values accordingly. (the above FVL 25G and NNT10G expected throughput values
+       were got from the combination of Purly,Ubuntu 16.04, and traffic generator IXIA, and the FVL40G
+       expected throughput value was got from the combination of Broadwell,Ubuntu 16.04, and traffic 
+       generator IXIA)
+
+Case assert failure if the actual throughputs lower exceed 1 Mpps than the expected throughput.
