+============
+Requirements
+============
+
+**Required Test setup:**
+
+.. _SampleVNF: https://wiki.opnfv.org/samplevnf
+.. _Technical_Briefs: https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/SAM/Technical+Briefs+of+VNFs
+
+Supported Test setup:
+--------------------
+The device under test (DUT) consists of a system following;
+ * A single or dual processor and PCH chip, except for System on Chip (SoC) cases
+ * DRAM memory size and frequency (normally single DIMM per channel)
+ * Specific Intel Network Interface Cards (NICs)
+ * BIOS settings noting those that updated from the basic settings
+ * DPDK build configuration settings, and commands used for tests
+Connected to the DUT is an IXIA* or Software Traffic generator like pktgen or TRex,
+simulation platform to generate packet traffic to the DUT ports and
+determine the throughput/latency at the tester side.
+
+Below are the supported/tested (:term `VNF`) deployment type.

+
+Network Topology for testing VNFs
+---------------------------------
+The ethernet cables should be connected between traffic generator and the VNF server (BM,
+SRIOV or OVS) setup based on the test profile.
+
+The connectivity could be
+1. Single port pair : One pair ports used for traffic
+ ::
+ e.g. Single port pair link0 and link1 of VNF are used
+ TG:port 0 <------> VNF:Port 0
+ TG:port 1 <------> VNF:Port 1
+
+2. Multi port pair : More than one pair of traffic
+ ::
+ e.g. Two port pair link 0, link1, link2 and link3 of VNF are used
+ TG:port 0 <------> VNF:Port 0
+ TG:port 1 <------> VNF:Port 1
+ TG:port 2 <------> VNF:Port 2
+ TG:port 3 <------> VNF:Port 3
+For openstack/Standalone virtualization, installation please refer the openstack guide and ovs-dpdk/sriov github.
