+
+======================================
+Performance-thread  performance Tests
+======================================
+
+The Performance-Thread results are produced using ``l3fwd-thread`` application.
+
+For more information about Performance Thread sameple applicaton please refer to 
+link: http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/sample_app_ug/performance_thread.html
+
+Prerequisites
+==============
+
+1. Hardware requirements:
+
+    - For each CPU socket, each memory channel should be populated with at least 1x DIMM
+    - Board is populated with 4x 1GbE or 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, P1 (as identified by the DPDK application) are connected to the
+      traffic generator ports TG0, TG1. The application-side port mask of
+      NIC ports P0, P1 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{0.0.1} and C{0.0.1} should be avoided while executing the test, as they are
+      used by the Linux kernel for running regular processes.
+
+4. Software application requirements
+
+5. If using vfio the kernel must be >= 3.6+ and VT-d must be enabled in bios.When
+   using vfio, use the following commands to to load the vfio driver and bind it
+   to the device under test::
+
+      modprobe vfio
+      modprobe vfio-pci
+      usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --bind=vfio-pci device_bus_id
+
+6. Build dpdk and performance thread sample app
+   -> make install RTE_SDK=`pwd` T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+   -> make -C examples/performance-thread RTE_SDK=`pwd` T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+7. Bind two ports to igb_uio driver and connect these two ports with two ixia ports
+   -> ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --bind=igb_uio 0000:18:00.0 0000:1a:00.0
+
+
+Detail test cases and test steps
+=================================
+
+Test Case: one_lcore_per_pcore performance::
+
+   1: Launch app:

+            --tx="(1,0)" \
+            --no-lthread
+        ( Note: option "--stat-lcore" is not enabled in the automation scripts)
+
+   2: Send traffic(see traffic config below) and verify performance
+
+   3: Repeat above tests with below command lines respectively

+How to configure Traffic generator to send traffic:
+=====================================================
+
+The flows need to be configured and started by the traffic generator:
+
+|
+
++------+---------+------------+---------------+------------+---------+
+| Flow | Traffic | MAC        | MAC           | IPV4       | IPV4    |
+|      | Gen.    | Src.       | Dst.          | Src.       | Dest.   |
+|      | Port    | Address    | Address       | Address    | Address |
++------+---------+------------+---------------+------------+---------+
+|   1  |   TG0   | Random MAC | DUT Port0 Mac | Random IP  | 2.1.1.1 |
++------+---------+------------+---------------+------------+---------+
+|   2  |   TG1   | Random Mac | DUT port1 Mac | Random IP  | 1.1.1.1 |
++------+---------+------------+---------------+------------+---------+
+
+|
+Frame sizes should be configured from 64,128,256,512,1024,2000, etc
