test_spec: Note need for 3 test ports in RFC2889 address/cache
The RFC 2889 Address Learning and Cache Capacity tests require a listening port to check for flooded frames. JIRA: VSPERF-74 Change-Id: I7b4d2461e819d01d642c9c4d95b938dfbe056f2c Signed-off-by: Al Morton <acmorton@att.com> Reviewed-by: Maryam Tahhan <maryam.tahhan@intel.com>
