+Latency measurements have impact on T-Rex performance. Thus vswitchperf uses a separate
+latency stream for each direction with limited speed. This workaround is used for RFC2544
+**Throughput** and **Continuous** traffic types. In case of **Burst** traffic type,
+the latency statistics are measured for all frames in the burst. Collection of latency
+statistics is driven by configuration option ``TRAFFICGEN_TREX_LATENCY_PPS`` as follows:
+
+ * value ``0`` - disables latency measurements
+ * non zero integer value - enables latency measurements; In case of Throughput
+ and Continuous traffic types, it specifies a speed of latency specific stream
+ in PPS. In case of burst traffic type, it enables latency measurements for all frames.
