-|step 1 | The pod is available. |
-| | Nstat is invoked and logs are produced and stored. |
+|step 1 | Two host VMs are booted, as server and client. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 2 | Yardstick is connected with the server VM by using ssh. |
+| | 'ping_benchmark' bash script is copyied from Jump Host to |
+| | the server VM via the ssh tunnel. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 3 | Ping is invoked. Ping packets are sent from server VM to |
+| | client VM. RTT results are calculated and checked against |
+| | the SLA. nstat is invoked on the client vm to monitors |
+| | network metrics provided by the Linux kernel. IP datagram |
+| | error rate, ICMP message error rate, TCP segment error rate |
+| | and UDP datagram error rate are calculated. |
+| | Logs are produced and stored. |
