Can you update this in the testpmd usage guide.
There are so many things that testpmd can do.
What will happen to the stats if I quit one of the processes and start
again?
In case of multiple Rx queues, how will RSS happen?
It will be good to have the behavior of various features documented -
some of the questions have been already answered.
They can be documented as well.
