There are also some policy changes for the new DTS framework which it
wouldn't hurt to explain, example: password auth to the traffic gen
and DUT nodes is banned and we run from containers so you have to
mount your ~/.ssh into the container. It's all explained in the README
and the docker command given, but not everyone knows containers very
well so it wouldn't hurt to run through this stuff as they could trip
up some people who are new to DTS.
