Update pmd/lcore mask for OVS-DPDK context
Added default values for pmd/lcore mask to the SampleVNF test case for Trex TG. lcore mask - specifies the CPU cores used for non-datapath OVS-DPDK threads. pmd mask - specifies the CPU cores used for data path packet processing. Updated documentation for Standalone OVS-DPDK context. JIRA: YARDSTICK-1246 Change-Id: I8d008a185c94d2047ffa4769d7974bc4d283fd7f Signed-off-by: Stepan Andrushko <stepanx.andrushko@intel.com>

+Standalone configuration
+------------------------
+
+NSB supports certain Standalone deployment configurations.
+Standalone supports provisioning a VM in a standalone visualised environment using kvm/qemu.
+There two types of Standalone contexts available: OVS-DPDK and SRIOV.
+OVS-DPDK uses OVS network with DPDK drivers.
+SRIOV enables network traffic to bypass the software switch layer of the Hyper-V stack.
+
+Standalone with OVS-DPDK
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+SampleVNF image is spawned in a VM on a baremetal server.
+OVS with DPDK is installed on the baremetal server.
+
+.. note:: Ubuntu 17.10 requires DPDK v.17.05 and higher, DPDK v.17.05 requires OVS v.2.8.0.
+
+Default values for OVS-DPDK:
+
+ * queues: 4
+ * lcore_mask: ""
+ * pmd_cpu_mask: "0x6"
+
+Sample test case file
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ 1. Prepare SampleVNF image and copy it to ``flavor/images``.
+ 2. Prepare context files for TREX and SampleVNF under ``contexts/file``.
+ 3. Add bridge named ``br-int`` to the baremetal where SampleVNF image is deployed.
+ 4. Modify ``networks/phy_port`` accordingly to the baremetal setup.
+ 5. Run test from:
