+NOTE: The configuration for overlay tests provided in this guide is for
+unidirectional traffic only.
+
+Executing Integration Tests
+---------------------------
+
+To execute integration tests VSPERF is run with the integration parameter. To
+view the current test list simply execute the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ ./vsperf --integration --list
+
+The standard tests included are defined inside the
+``conf/integration/01_testcases.conf`` file.
+
+Test Steps
+----------
+
+Execution of integration tests are done on a step by step work flow starting
+with step 0 as defined inside the test case. Each step of the test increments
+the step number by one which is indicated in the log.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ (testcases.integration) - Step 1 - 'vswitch add_switch ['int_br1']' ... OK
+
+Each step in the test case is validated. If a step does not pass validation the
+test will fail and terminate. The test will continue until a failure is detected
+or all steps pass. A csv report file is generated after a test completes with an
+OK or FAIL result.
+
+Test Macros
+-----------
+
+Test profiles can include macros as part of the test step. Each step in the
+profile may return a value such as a port name. Recall macros use #STEP to
+indicate the recalled value inside the return structure. If the method the
+test step calls returns a value it can be later recalled, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ {
+ "Name": "vswitch_add_del_vport",
+ "Deployment": "clean",
+ "Description": "vSwitch - add and delete virtual port",
+ "TestSteps": [
+ ['vswitch', 'add_switch', 'int_br0'], # STEP 0
+ ['vswitch', 'add_vport', 'int_br0'], # STEP 1
+ ['vswitch', 'del_port', 'int_br0', '#STEP[1][0]'], # STEP 2
+ ['vswitch', 'del_switch', 'int_br0'], # STEP 3
+ ]
+ }
+
+This test profile uses the vswitch add_vport method which returns a string
+value of the port added. This is later called by the del_port method using the
+name from step 1.
+
+Also commonly used steps can be created as a separate profile.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ STEP_VSWITCH_PVP_INIT = [
+ ['vswitch', 'add_switch', 'int_br0'], # STEP 0
+ ['vswitch', 'add_phy_port', 'int_br0'], # STEP 1
+ ['vswitch', 'add_phy_port', 'int_br0'], # STEP 2
+ ['vswitch', 'add_vport', 'int_br0'], # STEP 3
+ ['vswitch', 'add_vport', 'int_br0'], # STEP 4
+ ]
+
+This profile can then be used inside other testcases
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ {
+ "Name": "vswitch_pvp",
+ "Deployment": "clean",
+ "Description": "vSwitch - configure switch and one vnf",
+ "TestSteps": STEP_VSWITCH_PVP_INIT +
+ [
+ ['vnf', 'start'],
+ ['vnf', 'stop'],
+ ] +
+ STEP_VSWITCH_PVP_FINIT
+ }
+
+HelloWorld and other basic Testcases
+------------------------------------
+
+The following examples are for demonstration purposes.
+You can run them by copying and pasting into the
+conf/integration/01_testcases.conf file.
+A command-line instruction is shown at the end of each
+example.
+
+HelloWorld
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The first example is a HelloWorld testcase.
+It simply creates a bridge with 2 physical ports, then sets up a flow to drop
+incoming packets from the port that was instantiated at the STEP #1.
+There's no interaction with the traffic generator.
+Then the flow, the 2 ports and the bridge are deleted.
+'add_phy_port' method creates a 'dpdk' type interface that will manage the
+physical port. The string value returned is the port name that will be referred
+by 'del_port' later on.
+
+.. code-block:: python

+ ['vswitch', 'del_port', 'int_br0', '#STEP[2][0]'],
+ ['vswitch', 'del_switch', 'int_br0'],
+ ]
+
+ }
+
+To run HelloWorld test:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ ./vsperf --conf-file user_settings.py --integration HelloWorld
+
+Specify a Flow by the IP address
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The next example shows how to explicitly set up a flow by specifying a
+destination IP address.
+All packets received from the port created at STEP #1 that have a destination
+IP address = 90.90.90.90 will be forwarded to the port created at the STEP #2.
+
+.. code-block:: python

+
+Multistream feature
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The next testcase uses the multistream feature.
+The traffic generator will send packets with different UDP ports.
+That is accomplished by using "Stream Type" and "MultiStream" keywords.
+4 different flows are set to forward all incoming packets.
+
+.. code-block:: python

+
+PVP with a VM Replacement
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This example launches a 1st VM in a PVP topology, then the VM is replaced
+by another VM.
+When VNF setup parameter in ./conf/04_vnf.conf is "QemuDpdkVhostUser"
+'add_vport' method creates a 'dpdkvhostuser' type port to connect a VM.
