Test cases to measure Latency
-----------------------------
-The performance of the kvmfornfv is assesed by the latency values. Cyclictest and Packet forwarding
+The performance of the kvm4nfv is assesed by the latency values. Cyclictest and Packet forwarding
Test cases result in real time latency values of average, minimum and maximum.
* Cyclictest
1. Cyclictest case
-------------------
Cyclictest results are the most frequently cited real-time Linux metric. The core concept of Cyclictest is very simple.
-In KVMFORNFV cyclictest is implemented on the Guest-VM with 4.4-Kernel RPM installed. It generated Max,Min and Avg

values which help in assesing the kernel used. Cyclictest in currently divided into the following test types,

Idle-Idle test-type
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cyclictest in run on the Guest VM when Host,Guest are not under any kind of stress. This is the basic
-cyclictest of the KVMFORNFV project. Outputs Avg, Min and Max latency values.

2. Packet Forwarding Test cases

+Packet forwarding is an other test case of Kvm4nfv. It measures the time taken by a packet to return
to source after reaching its destination. This test case uses automated test-framework provided by

Latency test measures the time required for a frame to travel from the originating device through the
network to the destination device. Please note that RFC2544 Latency measurement will be superseded with
