+==========================
+TX preparation forwarding 
+==========================
+
+The support of TX preparation forwarding feature consists in:
+- Do necessary preparations of packet burst to be safely transmitted 
+  on device for desired HW offloads:
+  Set/reset checksum field according to the hardware requirements.
+  Check HW constraints (number of segments per packet, etc).
+- Provide information about max segments of TSO and non-TSO packets 
+  accepted by device.
+
+APPLICATION (CASE OF USE):
+- Application should initialize burst of packets to send, set required 
+  tx offload flags and required fields, like l2_len, l3_len, l4_len and 
+  tso_segsz.
+- Application passes burst to check required conditions to send packets 
+  through the NIC.
+- The result can be used to send valid packets and restore invalid packets 
+  if function fails.
+
+Prerequisites
+=============
+Support igb_uio, test txprep forwarding features on e1000, i40e, ixgbe and 
+fm10k drivers.Send packets from tester platform through the interface eth1 to 
+the tested port 0, then testpmd sends back packet using same port and uses 
+tcpdump to capture packet information.
+Tester      DUT
+eth1 <---> port 0
+
+Turn off all hardware offloads on tester machine::
+  ethtool -K eth1 rx off tx off tso off gso off gro off lro off
+
+Change mtu for large packet:: 
+  ifconfig eth1 mtu 9000
+
+Launch the ``testpmd`` with the following arguments, set ``--txqflags=0`` to 
+let TX checksum offloads, TSO mode in the “Full Featured” TX path, add 
+--max-pkt-len for large packet::
+  ./testpmd -c 0x6 -n 4  -- -i --txqflags=0 --port-topology=chained 
+  --max-pkt-len=9000
+
+Set the ``csum`` forwarding mode::
+  testpmd> set fwd csum
+
+Set the verbose level to 1 to display informations for each received packet::
+  testpmd> set verbose 1 
+
+Enable hardware checksum for IP/TCP/UDP packets::
+  testpmd> csum set ip hw 0
+  testpmd> csum set tcp hw 0
+  testpmd> csum set udp hw 0
+
+
+Test Case: TX preparation forwarding of non-TSO packets
+=======================================================
+Set TSO turned off::
+  testpmd> tso set 0 0
+Start the packet forwarding::
+  testpmd> start
+
+Send few IP/TCP/UDP packets from tester machine to DUT. Check IP/TCP/UDP 
+checksum correctness in captured packet, such as correct as below:: 
+Transmitted packet::
+  03:06:36.569730 3c:fd:fe:9d:64:30 > 90:e2:ba:63:22:e8, ethertype IPv4 
+  (0x0800), length 104: (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 1, offset 0, flags [none], 
+  proto TCP (6), length 90)
+    127.0.0.1.ftp-data > 127.0.0.1.http: Flags [.], cksum 0x1998 (correct), 
+  seq 0:50, ack 0, win 8192, length 50: HTTP
+
+Captured packet::
+  03:06:36.569816 90:e2:ba:63:22:e8 > 02:00:00:00:00:00, ethertype IPv4 
+  (0x0800), length 104: (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 1, offset 0, flags [none], 
+  proto TCP (6), length 90)
+    127.0.0.1.ftp-data > 127.0.0.1.http: Flags [.], cksum 0x1998 (correct), 
+  seq 0:50, ack 1, win 8192, length 50: HTTP
+
+
+Test Case: TX preparation forwarding of TSO packets
+====================================================
+
+Set TSO turned on::
+  testpmd> tso set 1460 0
+  TSO segment size for non-tunneled packets is 1460
+
+Start the packet forwarding::
+  testpmd> start
+
+Send few IP/TCP packets from tester machine to DUT. Check IP/TCP checksum 
+correctness in captured packet and verify correctness of HW TSO offload 
+for large packets. One large TCP packet (5214 bytes + headers) segmented 
+to four fragments (1460 bytes+header,1460 bytes+header,1460 bytes+header 
+and 834 bytes + headers), checksums are also ok::
+Transmitted packet::
+  21:48:24.214136 00:00:00:00:00:00 > 3c:fd:fe:9d:69:68, ethertype IPv6 
+  (0x86dd), length 5288: (hlim 64, next-header TCP (6) payload length: 5234) 
+   ::1.ftp-data > ::1.http: Flags [.], cksum 0xac95 (correct), seq 0:5214, 
+  ack 1, win 8192, length 5214: HTTP
+
+Captured packet::
+  21:48:24.214207 3c:fd:fe:9d:69:68 > 02:00:00:00:00:00, ethertype IPv6 
+  (0x86dd), length 1534: (hlim 64, next-header TCP (6) payload length: 1480) 
+  ::1.ftp-data > ::1.http: Flags [.], cksum 0xa641 (correct), seq 0:1460, 
+  ack 1, win 8192, length 1460: HTTP
+  21:48:24.214212 3c:fd:fe:9d:69:68 > 02:00:00:00:00:00, ethertype IPv6 
+  (0x86dd), length 1534: (hlim 64, next-header TCP (6) payload length: 1480) 
+  ::1.ftp-data > ::1.http: Flags [.], cksum 0xae89 (correct), seq 1460:2920, 
+  ack 1, win 8192, length 1460: HTTP
+  21:48:24.214213 3c:fd:fe:9d:69:68 > 02:00:00:00:00:00, ethertype IPv6 
+  (0x86dd), length 1534: (hlim 64, next-header TCP (6) payload length: 1480) 
+  ::1.ftp-data > ::1.http: Flags [.], cksum 0xfdb6 (correct), seq 2920:4380, 
+  ack 1, win 8192, length 1460: HTTP
+  21:48:24.214215 3c:fd:fe:9d:69:68 > 02:00:00:00:00:00, ethertype IPv6 
+  (0x86dd), length 908: (hlim 64, next-header TCP (6) payload length: 854) 
+  ::1.ftp-data > ::1.http: Flags [.], cksum 0xe629 (correct), seq 4380:5214, 
+  ack 1, win 8192, length 834: HTTP
+
+Note: 
+Generally TSO only supports TCP packets but unsupports UDP packets due to 
+hardware segmentation limitation, for example packets are sent on niantic 
+NIC, but not segmented.
