 - a DPDK compatible NIC with at least 2 ports (preferably 10Gbps or higher)
 - 2 ethernet cables between the NIC and the OpenStack pod under test (usually through a top of rack switch)
 
-The DPDK-compliant NIC must be one supported by the TRex traffic generator (such as Intel X710, refer to the `Trex Installation Guide <https://trex-tgn.cisco.com/trex/doc/trex_manual.html#_download_and_installation>`_ for a complete list of supported NIC)

 Using a TOR switch is more representative of a real deployment and allows to measure packet flows on any compute node in the rack without rewiring and includes the overhead of the TOR switch.
 
 Although not the primary targeted use case, NFVbench could also support the direct wiring of the traffic generator to
