Adding PROX(Packet pROcessing eXecution engine) VNF to sampleVNF

JIRA: SAMPLEVNF-55

PROX is a DPDK-based application implementing Telco use-cases such as
a simplified BRAS/BNG, light-weight AFTR... It also allows configuring
finer grained network functions like QoS, Routing, load-balancing...

(We are moving PROX version v039 to sampleVNF

+The scripts in this directory characterize flow a DPI-enabled VNF. The
+characeterization is split up into two steps. The first step (dpi1.py)
+searches for the traffic profile parameter boundaries. The second step
+(dpi2.py) takes as input the output of the first step and searches for
+the maximum sustainable throughput of a DPI-enabled VNF.
+
+To run the first script, use:
+
+   python2.7 ./dpi1.py -t TEST_SYSTEM_DESCRIPTIONS -o OUTPUT1
+
+TEST_SYSTEM_DESCRIPTIONS is a comma-separated list of systems where
+the syntax of defining each system is shown below:
+
+   user@ip:proxDir:cfgDir
+
+To run the second script, use:
+
+   python2.7 ./dpi2.py -t TEST_SYSTEM_DESCRIPTIONS \
+   	     -s SYSTEM_UNDER_TEST_DESCRIPTIONS \
+	     -o OUTPUT2 -d \
+	     -i OUTPUT1
+
+Finally, the results can be processed using the following command:
+
+   python2.7 ./maketable.py -i OUTPUT1 -j OUTPUT2 -o FINAL_TABLE
