[dts] [next][PATCH V1 4/14] doc/pktgen: migrate from etgen api to pktgen api

[yufengmx]

migrate from etgen api to pktgen api.

The document describes a convenient way to meet with the simple packet generator
usage scenario. Pktgen offer a helper class to be compatible with old coding
style in suite source code.

+pktgen usage please refer to doc **pktgen_prog_guide.rst**.

+import new class
+----------------
+
+#. import a new module::
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   from pktgen import PacketGeneratorHelper
+
+initialize an instance in `def set_up_all(self)`
+------------------------------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   def set_up_all(self):
+   ...
+      self.pktgen_helper = PacketGeneratorHelper()
+
+create streams for pktgen instance
+----------------------------------
+each pcap file should only contain one packet.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   pcap1 = os.sep.join([self.pktgen.output_path, "{0}.pcap".format(port)])
+   flow1 = "Ether()/IP()/UDP()/("X")"

+pcap field variable(optional)
+-----------------------------
+If no protocol layer field vary requirement, ignore this content.
