+IPv4 Multicast
+==============
+
+This is the test plan for the Intel® DPDK IPv4 Multicast application. 
+The results are produced using the ``ipv4_fragmentation`` application.
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The test application (``ipv4_multicast``) implements a basic Layer-3 
+forwarding scheme on the traffic received from two network interfaces.
+For each input packet, the output interface the packet should be sent 
+out on is determined based on a lookup operation into the routing table maintained by the application.
+
+This application disregards the rules for multicast groups assigned by 
+IANA (RFC 5771) and only sets a goal to demonstrate a sample multicast implementation.
+
+The ``ipv4_multicast`` application accepts the following command line options:
+
+- For the EAL:
+
+  - ``-c COREMASK``: Hexadecimal bitmask of cores we are running on
+  - ``-m MB``: Memory to allocate (default 64MB)
+  - ``-n NUM``: Number of memory channels (don't detect)
+  - ``-r NUM``: Number of memory ranks (don't detect)
+
+- And for the application itself (seperated by ``--`` from above options):
+
+  - ``-p PORTMASK``: Hexadecimal bitmask of ports to use
+  - ``-q NUM``: Number of queues per lcore
+
+
+Prerequisites
+=============
+
+1. Hardware requirements:
+
+- Board is populated with 2x 10GbE ports. Special PCIe restrictions may
+  be required for performance. For example, the following requirements 
+should be
+  met for Intel 82599 (Niantic) NICs:
+
+	- NICs are plugged into PCIe Gen2 or Gen3 slots
+	- For PCIe Gen2 slots, the number of lanes should be 8x or higher
+	- A single port from each NIC should be used, so for 4x ports, 4x NICs should
+	  be used
+
+- NIC ports connected to traffic generator. It is assumed that the NIC 
+ports
+  P0 and P2 (as identified by the DPDK application) are connected to 
+the
+  traffic generator ports TG0 and TG2. The application-side port mask 
+of
+  NIC ports is noted as PORTMASK in this section.
+
+2. BIOS requirements:
+
+- Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology is ENABLED
+- Hardware Prefetcher is DISABLED
+- Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch is DISABLED
+- Direct Cache Access is DISABLED
+
+3. Linux kernel requirements:
+
+- Linux kernel has the following features enabled: huge page support, 
+UIO, HPET
+- Appropriate number of huge pages are reserved at kernel boot time
+- The IDs of the hardware threads (logical cores) per each CPU socket 
+can be
+  determined by parsing the file /proc/cpuinfo. The naming convention 
+for the
+  logical cores is: C{x.y.z} = hyper-thread z of physical core y of CPU 
+socket x,
+  with typical values of x = 0 .. 3, y = 0 .. 7, z = 0 .. 1. Logical 
+cores
+  C{0.0.0} and C{0.0.1} should be avoided while executing the test, as 
+they are
+  used by the Linux kernel for running regular processes. NUMA mode is 
+not supported
+  by the application, so both cores and NICs should be on one socket for best results.
+
+4. Software application requirements
+
+The routing table consists of 15 entries, each of them consisting of 
+two fields - multicast address (which corresponds to multicast group, 
+as per IPv4 Multicast
+specification) and a portmask associated with that group. The routing 
+table is implemented as a hash table.
+
+The routing table looks like this:
+
+|
+
++-------+-------------+----------+
+| Entry | IPv4        | Output   |
+| #     | destination | ports    |
+|       | address     |          |
++-------+-------------+----------+
+| 0     | 224.0.0.1   | P1       |
++-------+-------------+----------+
+| 1     | 224.0.0.2   | P2       |
++-------+-------------+----------+
+| 2     | 224.0.0.3   | P1 P2    |
++-------+-------------+----------+
+| 3     | 224.0.0.4   | P3       |
++-------+-------------+----------+
+| 4     | 224.0.0.5   | P1 P3    |
++-------+-------------+----------+
+| 5     | 224.0.0.6   | P2 P3    |
++-------+-------------+----------+
+| 6     | 224.0.0.7   | P1 P2 P3 |
++-------+-------------+----------+
+| 7     | 224.0.0.8   | P4       |
++-------+-------------+----------+
+| 8     | 224.0.0.9   | P1 P4    |
++-------+-------------+----------+
+| 9     | 224.0.0.10  | P2 P4    |
++-------+-------------+----------+
+| 10    | 224.0.0.11  | P1 P2 P4 |
++-------+-------------+----------+
+| 11    | 224.0.0.12  | P3 P4    |
++-------+-------------+----------+
+| 12    | 224.0.0.13  | P1 P3 P4 |
++-------+-------------+----------+
+| 13    | 224.0.0.14  | P2 P3 P4 |
++-------+-------------+----------+
+| 14    | 224.0.0.15  | P1-P4    |
++-------+-------------+----------+
+
+|
+
+The routing table is given for reference and information purposes.
+
+For convenience purposes, the portmask for every multicast group is 
+equal to number of group i.e. for multicast group 5 (IP address
+224.0.0.5) the portmask is equal to 5. This allows for some flexibility 
+in testing environment like support for different numbers of ports and different port configurations (up to four ports are supported).
+
+The recommended setup is to set up three flows per input port. Each 
+input port should be located on a different NIC (such as P0 and P2).
+Then, a multicast group should be set corresponding to the setup i.e. 
+if ports 0 and 2 are connected to the traffic generator, multicast group 5 must be used.
+
+Each of the three flows should be set up to be returned through the 
+same port, through the opposite port, and through both ports.
+Appropriate destination IP addresses should be set up to indicate from which port the packet must return.
+
+5. Traffic generator requirements
+
+The flows need to be configured and started by the traffic generator 
+(this table assumes that
+P0 and P2 are used on testing machine):
+
+|
+
++------+---------+------------+-----------+------+-------+--------+
+| Flow | Traffic | IPv4       | IPv4      | Port | Port  | L4     |
+|      | Gen.    | Src.       | Dst.      | Src. | Dest. | Proto. |
+|      | Port    | Address    | Address   |      |       |        |
++------+---------+------------+-----------+------+-------+--------+
+| F1   | TG0     | 10.100.0.1 | 224.0.0.1 | ANY  | ANY   | ANY    |
++------+---------+------------+-----------+------+-------+--------+
+| F2   | TG0     | 10.100.0.2 | 224.0.0.4 | ANY  | ANY   | ANY    |
++------+---------+------------+-----------+------+-------+--------+
+| F3   | TG0     | 10.100.0.3 | 224.0.0.5 | ANY  | ANY   | ANY    |
++------+---------+------------+-----------+------+-------+--------+
+| F4   | TG1     | 11.100.0.1 | 224.0.0.4 | ANY  | ANY   | ANY    |
++------+---------+------------+-----------+------+-------+--------+
+| F5   | TG1     | 11.100.0.2 | 224.0.0.1 | ANY  | ANY   | ANY    |
++------+---------+------------+-----------+------+-------+--------+
+| F6   | TG1     | 11.100.0.3 | 224.0.0.5 | ANY  | ANY   | ANY    |
++------+---------+------------+-----------+------+-------+--------+
+
+|
+
+These flows do not change across the test cases.
+
+
+Test Case: IP4 Multicast Forwarding
+===================================
+
+In addition to performance testing, multicast packets produced by 
+application must be validated with the following criteria:
+
+  - Source and destination IPv4 addresses of the packets forwarded by the application
+    must not be changed during forwarding
+  - Ethernet address of forwarded packets must be set to IPv4 multicast Ethernet addresses, which
+    are constructed from 01-00-5E-00-00-00 ORed with lower 23 bits of 28-bit multicast group.
+  - Payload of the packets must not change in any way
+  - Packets should arrive only from ports they are supposed to arrive.
+
+Here is a table which shows the requirements for which TG flows should arrive from which port:
+
+|
+
++------+---------+-----------+------------+-----------+
+| Flow | Traffic | RECV Port | IPv4       | IPv4      |
+|      | Gen.    |           | Src.       | Dst.      |
+|      | Port    |           | Address    | Address   |
++------+---------+-----------+------------+-----------+
+| F1   | TG0     | TG0       | 10.100.0.1 | 224.0.0.1 |
++------+---------+-----------+------------+-----------+
+| F2   | TG0     | TG1       | 10.100.0.2 | 224.0.0.4 |
++------+---------+-----------+------------+-----------+
+| F3   | TG0     | TG0 TG1   | 10.100.0.3 | 224.0.0.5 |
++------+---------+-----------+------------+-----------+
+| F4   | TG1     | TG1       | 11.100.0.1 | 224.0.0.4 |
++------+---------+-----------+------------+-----------+
+| F5   | TG1     | TG0       | 11.100.0.2 | 224.0.0.1 |
++------+---------+-----------+------------+-----------+
+| F6   | TG1     | TG0 TG1   | 11.100.0.3 | 224.0.0.5 |
++------+---------+-----------+------------+-----------+
+

+
+Assuming that ports ``0`` and ``2`` are connected to a traffic 
+generator, launch the ``ipv4_multicast`` with the following arguments::
+
+  ./examples/ipv4_multicast/build/ipv4_multicast -c 0x2 -n 1 -- -p 0x5 
+ -q 2
+
+If the app run successfully, it will be the same as the shown in the terminal. ::

+
+Test Case: IPv4 Multicast Performance
+=====================================
+
+The following items are configured through the command line interface 
+of the
+application:
+
+  - The maximum number of RX queues (ports) to be available for each 
+ lcore
+  - The set of ports to be enabled for forwarding
+
+The test report should provide the throughput rate measurements (in 
+mpps and % of the line rate for 2x NIC ports) as listed in the table below:
