[PATCH v7 0/3] Add TREX Traffic Generator to DTS Framework

[Patrick Robb]

This series adds support for performance traffic generators, and
includes an implementation for using the TREX traffic generator for
performance testing. It also includes a new testsuite which measures the
single core forwarding performance of a SUT in millions of packets per
second.

v7 changes:
- Added missing spdx tag
- Per DTS meeting conversation, add 16B descriptor tag to Intel builds
  to allow for the highest throughput on performance testing

Nicholas Pratte (3):
  dts: rework traffic generator inheritance structure
  dts: add trex traffic generator to dts framework
  dts: add performance test functions and support
