+|test purpose  | The PROX LW_AFTR test will take packets in from one          |
+|              | port and remove the ipv6 encapsulation and forward them to   |
+|              | another port. While forwarded packets in other direction     |
+|              | will be encapsulated in an ipv6 header.                      |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              | The lw_aftr test cases are implemented to run in baremetal   |
+|              | and heat context an require 4 port topology to run the       |
+|              | default configuration.                                       |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|configuration | The LW_AFTR test cases are listed below:                     |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              | * tc_prox_baremetal_lw_aftr-4.yaml                           |
+|              | * tc_prox_heat_context_lw_aftr-4.yaml                        |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              | Test duration is set as 300sec for each test.                |
+|              | The minimum packet size for MPLS test is 68 bytes. This is   |
+|              | set in the traffic profile and can be configured to use      |
+|              | higher packet sizes.                                         |
+|              |                                                              |

+|              | PROX is a DPDK application that can simulate VNF workloads   |
+|              | and can generate traffic and used for NFVI characterization  |
+|              |                                                              |

++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|pre-test      | For Openstack test case image (yardstick-samplevnfs) needs   |
+|conditions    | to be installed into Glance with Prox and Dpdk included in   |
+|              | it.                                                          |

+|              | For Baremetal tests cases Prox and Dpdk must be installed in |
+|              | the hosts where the test is executed. The pod.yaml file must |
+|              | have the necessary system and NIC information                |
+|              |                                                              |

++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 1        | For Baremetal test: The TG and VNF are started on the hosts  |
+|              | based on the pod file.                                       |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              | For Heat test: Two host VMs are booted, as Traffic generator |
+|              | and VNF(LW_AFTR workload) based on the test flavor.          |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 2        | Yardstick is connected with the TG and VNF by using ssh.     |
+|              | The test will resolve the topology and instantiate the VNF   |
+|              | and TG and collect the KPI's/metrics.                        |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 3        | The TG will send packets to the VNF. If the number of        |
+|              | dropped packets is more than the tolerated loss the line     |
+|              | rate or throughput is halved. This is done until the dropped |
+|              | packets are within an acceptable tolerated loss.             |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              | The KPI is the number of packets per second for 86 bytes     |
+|              | packet size with an accepted minimal packet loss for the     |
+|              | default configuration.                                       |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 4        | In Baremetal test: The test quits the application and unbind |
+|              | the dpdk ports.                                              |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              | In Heat test: Two host VMs are deleted on test completion.   |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test verdict  | The test case will achieve a Throughput with an accepted     |
+|              | minimal tolerated packet loss.                               |

+|test purpose  | The PROX VPE test handles packet processing, routing, QinQ   |
+|              | encapsulation, flows, ACL rules, adds/removes MPLS tagging   |
+|              | and performs QoS before forwarding packet to another port.   |
+|              | The reverse applies to forwarded packets in the other        |
+|              | direction.                                                   |

+|pre-test      | For Openstack test case image (yardstick-samplevnfs) needs   |
+|conditions    | to be installed into Glance with Prox and Dpdk included in   |
+|              | it.                                                          |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              | For Baremetal tests cases Prox and Dpdk must be installed in |
+|              | the hosts where the test is executed. The pod.yaml file must |
+|              | have the necessary system and NIC information                |
+|              |                                                              |

+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 1        | For Baremetal test: The TG and VNF are started on the hosts  |
+|              | based on the pod file.                                       |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              | For Heat test: Two host VMs are booted, as Traffic generator |
+|              | and VNF(VPE workload) based on the test flavor.              |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 2        | Yardstick is connected with the TG and VNF by using ssh.     |
+|              | The test will resolve the topology and instantiate the VNF   |
+|              | and TG and collect the KPI's/metrics.                        |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 3        | The TG will send packets to the VNF. If the number of        |
+|              | dropped packets is more than the tolerated loss the line     |
+|              | rate or throughput is halved. This is done until the dropped |
+|              | packets are within an acceptable tolerated loss.             |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              | The KPI is the number of packets per second for 68 bytes     |
+|              | packet size with an accepted minimal packet loss for the     |
+|              | default configuration.                                       |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 4        | In Baremetal test: The test quits the application and unbind |
+|              | the dpdk ports.                                              |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              | In Heat test: Two host VMs are deleted on test completion.   |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test verdict  | The test case will achieve a Throughput with an accepted     |
+|              | minimal tolerated packet loss.                               |
