+ # UDP DEFINED VARIABLES
+ # TRex pick default UDP port (53) but the range of UDP source and destination ports are also
+ # defined from configuration file by using the following attributes:
+ #
# `udp_src_port`: the source port for sending UDP traffic, default is picked by TRex (53)
# `udp_dst_port`: the destination port for sending UDP traffic, default is picked by TRex (53)
+ # `udp_src_port` and `udp_dst_port` can be defined by a single port or a range. Example:
+ # udp_src_port: 80
+ # udp_dst_port: ['1024','65000']
+ # `udp_port_step`: the step between two generated ports, default is equal to '1'
+ #
+ # NOTICE:
+ # Following TRex functionalities, incrementation and decrementation of source port and destination
+ # port values occur simultaneously.
+ # So, in order to reach the highest possible number of packets, it's recommended that the range of source ports
