Add license info and update structure
This change adds license to all .rst files under userguide. It also combines all configguide files into user guide. New reference.rst with list of links. Updated glossary, removed separate directories for apexlake and yardstick framework. Change-Id: I6532ed073905b0fa85a17e759ea7dc3c24acb91f Signed-off-by: Ana C <ana.cunha@ericsson.com>

+|test case id | OPNFV_YARDSTICK_TC008_NW PERF, Packet loss Extended Test |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|metric | Number of flows, packet size and throughput |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test purpose | To evaluate the IaaS network performance with regards to |
+| | flows and throughput, such as if and how different amounts |
+| | of packet sizes and flows matter for the throughput between |
+| | VMs on different compute blades. Typically e.g. the |
+| | performance of a vSwitch |
+| | depends on the number of flows running through it. Also |
+| | performance of other equipment or entities can depend |
+| | on the number of flows or the packet sizes used. |
+| | The purpose is also to be able to spot trends. Test results, |
+| | graphs ans similar shall be stored for comparison reasons and|
+| | product evolution understanding between different OPNFV |
+| | versions and/or configurations. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|configuration | file: opnfv_yardstick_tc008.yaml |
+| | |
+| | Packet size: 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 1280 and 1518 bytes. |
+| | |
+| | Number of ports: 1, 10, 50, 100, 500 and 1000. The amount of |
+| | configured ports map from 2 up to 1001000 flows, |
+| | respectively. Each packet_size/port_amount combination is run|
+| | ten times, for 20 seconds each. Then the next |
+| | packet_size/port_amount combination is run, and so on. |
+| | |
+| | The client and server are distributed on different HW. |
+| | |
+| | For SLA max_ppm is set to 1000. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test tool | pktgen |
+| | |
+| | (Pktgen is not always part of a Linux distribution, hence it |
+| | needs to be installed. It is part of the Yardstick Docker |
+| | image. |
+| | As an example see the /yardstick/tools/ directory for how |
+| | to generate a Linux image with pktgen included.) |

++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|applicability | Test can be configured with different packet sizes, amount |
+| | of flows and test duration. Default values exist. |
+| | |
+| | SLA (optional): max_ppm: The number of packets per million |
+| | packets sent that are acceptable to loose, not received. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|pre-test | The test case image needs to be installed into Glance |
+|conditions | with pktgen included in it. |
+| | |
+| | No POD specific requirements have been identified. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test sequence | description and expected result |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 1 | The hosts are installed, as server and client. pktgen is |
+| | invoked and logs are produced and stored. |
+| | |
+| | Result: Logs are stored. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test verdict | Fails only if SLA is not passed, or if there is a test case |
+| | execution problem. |
