+# This README is describing the format of all the rapid test files that you can
+# find in this directory.
+# These files can be specified as a parameter for the runrapid.py script, using
+# the --test [testfile] option. The default file name is specified in
+# rapid_defaults.py and is basicrapid.test.
+#
+# There are 3 types of sections in this config file:
+# - the [TestParameters] section, which defines how many [TestMx] sections and
+# how many [testy] sections need to be present in this file.
+# - at least one TestMachine section [TestMx], where x is the index of the Test
+# machines starting at index 1
+# - at least one tests definition section [testy], where y is the index of the
+# test to be run. Index starts at 1.
+
+[TestParameters]
+# The name of this test. Can be chosen freely to describe this test
+name = BasicSwapTesting

+# This is usually set to 1. You need to define as many [testy] sections as
+# defined in this parameter.

+# False. This is used by the generator code to calculate the proper packet
+# header length offsets.

+
+# The following section describes the role of the first Test Machine. Note that
+# the connection details for each PROX instance are defined in the environment

+# The values of the remaining parameters in this section are passed on to the
+# PROX configuration file through a file called parameters.lua
+#
+# The next parameter defines the destination Test machine index. This will be
+# used by a generator to define which destination MAC or IP addresses should be
+# used in the generated packets. The fact that we use MAC or IP addresses is

+# other cores for DPDK usage.
+mcore = [0]
+# gencores defines which cores will be used to generate packets. If the
+# generator is not able to generate enough packets, you migth want to assign
+# more cores to the generator. Make sure not to use more cores in these

+# The bucket_size_exp parameter is only needed for generator machines when
+# collecting percentile latency statistics. PROX is assigning every packet to
+# one of the 128 latency buckets. The size of the latency buckets depends on
+# the processor frequency and this parameter using some complicated formula.
+# iteration_data['bucket_size'] = float(2 ** BUCKET_SIZE_EXP) /
+# (old_div(float(iteration_data['lat_hz']),float(10**6)))
+# Teh result is expressing the width of each bucket in micro-seconds.
+# The minimum value (which is also the default value) for this parameter is 11.
+# For a processor with a frequency of 2Ghz, and a parameter of 11, this results
+# in a bucket size of 1.024 us. Since we have 128 buckets, the maximum latency
+# that can be stored in the buckets is in theory 128 * 1.024 = 131.072 us. We
+# will however place every measurement with a latency higher than 131.072 us in
+# the last bucket. When you are dealing with higher latency, you will have to
+# increase this parameter. Each time you increase this parameter by 1, you will
+# double the bucket size.

+# We can only monitor one generator and one reflector (swap) Test machine.
+# Monitoring means that we will sue the statistics coming from these Test

+# Test machines not playing a role in this process, need to have the monitor
+# parameter set to false. You can only have 1 generator machines and 1 SUT Test
