This is a simple test meant to check whether or not the
link status changes when we set the link down/up.

+=============================================
+Link Status Check
+=============================================
+
+This check will use testpmd to test whether or not a link can be set as
+down/up and appear as the set status.
+
+
+Prerequisites
+=============
+
+Compile DPDK and testpmd. Be able to have the testpmd run.
+
+Test Case: set links as down
+==========================================
+
+Run testpmd in interactive mode ::
+
+  $ ./dpdk-testpmd -- -i
+
+This can be run with other arguments as well, depending on your setup.
+
+Run this command in testpmd ::
+
+  testpmd> set link-down port 0
+
+Verify the output matches with the port being down ::
+ 
+  testpmd> show port summary 0
+
+
+Test Case: set links as up
+===========================================
+
+Run testpmd in interactive mode ::
+
+  $ ./dpdk-testpmd -- -i
+
+This can be run with other arguments as well, depending on your setup.
+
+Run this command in testpmd ::
+
+  testpmd> set link-up port 0
+
+Verify the output matches with the port being up ::
+ 
+  testpmd> show port summary 0
