+VF performance test
+===================
+
+This document provides benchmark test for NIC VFs which are created from
+kernel PFs or DPDK PFs.
+
+
+Prerequisites
+==============
+
+For FVL40G, FVL25G, use 2 ports from two NICs, 2 core 2 queues per port.
+For FVL4x10G NIC, use 4 ports from 1 NIC, 1 core 1 queues per port.
+For NNT NIC, use 2 ports from 2 NIC, 1 core 1 queues per port.
+
+
+
+Test Case 1: Measure performace with kernel PF & dpdk VF
+========================================================
+
+1. Two (or four for FVL4x10G) NIC PF ports, using kernel driver, create 1 VF from each PF.
+
+2. Bind the two created VFs to dpdk driver and start dpdk l3fwd.
+
+3. send packet stream from 64bytes to 1518bytes with ixia traffic generator, 
+got output result, the format should be as below, with figures given in Mpps:
+
++-------+------+--------+-----------+
+| Frame | mode | Mpps   | %linerate |
++=======+======+========+===========+
+| 64    | lpm  |        |           |
++-------+------+--------+-----------+
+| 128   | lpm  |        |           |
++-------+------+--------+-----------+
+| 256   | lpm  |        |           |
++-------+------+--------+-----------+
+| 512   | lpm  |        |           |
++-------+------+--------+-----------+
+| 1024  | lpm  |        |           |
++-------+------+--------+-----------+
+| 1518  | lpm  |        |           |
++-------+------+--------+-----------+
+
+
+Test Case 2: Measure performace with dpdk PF & dpdk VF
+======================================================
+
+1. Two (or four for FVL4x10G) NIC PF ports, binding to igb_uio driver, then create 1 VF from each PF.
+
+2. Bind the two created VFs to dpdk driver and start dpdk l3fwd.
+
+3. send packet stream from 64bytes to 1518bytes with ixia traffic generator, 
+got output result, the format should be as below, with figures given in Mpps:
+
