> +Prerequisites
> +==============
> +
> +1. Hardware requirements:
> +
> +    - For each CPU socket, each memory channel should be populated
> with at least 1x DIMM
> +    - Board is populated with 4x 1GbE or 10GbE ports. Special PCIe
> restrictions may
> +      be required for performance. For example, the following
> requirements should be
> +      met for Intel 82599 (Niantic) NICs:
> +
> +        - NICs are plugged into PCIe Gen2 or Gen3 slots
> +        - For PCIe Gen2 slots, the number of lanes should be 8x or higher
> +        - A single port from each NIC should be used, so for 4x ports, 4x
> NICs should
> +          be used
> +
> +    - NIC ports connected to traffic generator. It is assumed that the NIC
> ports
> +      P0, P1 (as identified by the DPDK application) are connected to the
> +      traffic generator ports TG0, TG1. The application-side port mask of
> +      NIC ports P0, P1 is noted as PORTMASK in this section.
> +
> +2. BIOS requirements:
> +
> +    - Intel Hyper-Threading Technology is ENABLED
> +    - Hardware Prefetcher is DISABLED
> +    - Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch is DISABLED
> +    - Direct Cache Access is DISABLED
> +
> +3. Linux kernel requirements:
> +
> +    - Linux kernel has the following features enabled: huge page support,
> UIO, HPET
> +    - Appropriate number of huge pages are reserved at kernel boot time
> +    - The IDs of the hardware threads (logical cores) per each CPU socket
> can be
> +      determined by parsing the file /proc/cpuinfo. The naming
> convention for the
> +      logical cores is: C{x.y.z} = hyper-thread z of physical core y of CPU
> socket x,
> +      with typical values of x = 0 .. 3, y = 0 .. 7, z = 0 .. 1. Logical cores
> +      C{0.0.1} and C{0.0.1} should be avoided while executing the test, as
> they are
> +      used by the Linux kernel for running regular processes.
> +
> +4. Software application requirements
> +
> +5. If using vfio the kernel must be >= 3.6+ and VT-d must be enabled in
> bios.When
> +   using vfio, use the following commands to to load the vfio driver and
> bind it
> +   to the device under test::

[Lijuan] could you clarify the arguments closely to the feature, such as lcore, rx tx no-lthread, and how to choose the values, for example , why is "--rx="(0,0,0,0)(1,0,1,1) --tx="(2,0)(3,1)"
