+|              | functional and its instantiation is correctly supported by   |
+|              | the infrastructure in the presence of noisy neighbours.      |
+|              |                                                              |

+|applicability | Test can be configured with different flavors, vNIC type     |
+|              | and packet sizes. Default values exist as specified above.   |
+|              | The vNIC type and flavor MUST be specified by the user.      |
+|              |                                                              |

+|pre-test      | The vTC has been successfully instantiated and configured.   |
+|              | The user has correctly assigned the values to the deployment |

+|              |      The Data network switches need to be configured in      |
+|              |      order to manage multicast traffic.                      |
+|              |      Installation and configuration of smcroute is required  |
+|              |      before to run the test case.                            |
+|              |      (For further instructions please refer to the ApexLake  |

+|step 3        | The vTC is correctly deployed and configured as necessary.   |
+|              | The initialization script has been correctly executed and    |

+|              | A constant rate traffic is sent to the vTC for 10 seconds.   |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 5        | The vTC instance tags all the packets and sends them back to |
+|              | the packet generator for 10 seconds.                         |
+|              |                                                              |
+|              | The framework checks if the packet generator receives back   |
+|              | all the packets with the correct tag from the vTC.           |
+|              |                                                              |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test verdict  |  The vTC is deemed to be successfully instantiated if all    |
+|              |  packets are sent back with the right tag as requested,      |
+|              |  else it is deemed DoA (Dead on arrival)                     |
