-This is the initial release of a re-designed version of the software
-based on community feedback. This initial release supports only the
-Phy2Phy deployment scenario and the
-LTD.Throughput.RFC2544.PacketLossRatio test - both described in the
-OPNFV vswitchperf 'CHARACTERIZE VSWITCH PERFORMANCE FOR TELCO NFV USE
-CASES LEVEL TEST DESIGN'. The intention is that more test cases will
-follow once the community has digested the initial release.
-
--  Performance testing with continuous stream
--  Vanilla OVS support added.
-
-   -  Support for non-DPDK OVS build.
-   -  Build and installation support through Makefile will be added via
-      next patch(Currently it is possible to manually build ovs and
-      setting it in vsperf configuration files).
-   -  PvP scenario is not yet implemented.
-
--  CentOS7 support
--  Verified on CentOS7
--  Install & Quickstart documentation
-
--  Better support for mixing tests types with Deployment Scenarios
--  Re-work based on community feedback of TOIT
--  Framework support for other vSwitches
--  Framework support for non-Ixia traffic generators
--  Framework support for different VNFs
--  Python3
