capture: Traffic capture examples
Traffic can be captured also at DUT side. Two options are supported by vsperf: 1) Traffic is captured inside VM after it has been processed by vSwitch. This can be used for verification of vSwitch frame modification functionality, including HW offloading at ingress side. 2) Another NIC under the test (NIC2) is added into standard VSPERF DUT setup. Traffic is then forwarded from TGen through NIC and vSwitch to NIC2 and then over patch cable back to NIC2, the vSwitch, NIC and to the traffic generator. This setup supports also verification of HW offloading at egress side of NIC2 and thus it can be used for validation of smart NICS. Both options above are traffic generator agnostic if compared to direct support of traffic capture by traffic generator. This patch introduces example testcases for both options. Detailed documentation will be pushed as a standalone patch.
