+3. RFC2889 tests: Currently, the forwarding, address-caching, and
+ address-learning-rate tests of RFC2889 are supported.
+ The testcenter-rfc2889-rest.py script implements the rfc2889 tests.
+ The configuration for RFC2889 involves test-case definition, and parameter
+ definition, as described below. New results-constants, as shown below, are
+ added to support these tests.
+
+Example of testcase definition for RFC2889 tests:

+The first 2 values are for address-learning test where as other 3 values are

+Maximum value for address is 16777216. Whereas, maximum for LR is 4294967295.

+ TX_RATE_PERCENT: "Transmission Rate in Percentage"
+ FRAME_LOSS_PERCENT: "Frame loss in Percentage"
+ FORWARDING_RATE_FPS: " Maximum Forwarding Rate in FPS"
+
+
+Whereas, the address caching test outputs following values,
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ CACHING_CAPACITY_ADDRS = 'Number of address it can cache'
+ ADDR_LEARNED_PERCENT = 'Percentage of address successfully learned'
+
