+|test purpose | The purpose of TC043 is to do a basic verification that |
+| | network latency is within acceptable boundaries when packets |
+| | travel between different NFVI nodes. |
+| | |
+| | The purpose is also to be able to spot the trends. |

+|test tool | ping |
+| | |
+| | Ping is a computer network administration software utility |
+| | used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet |
+| | Protocol (IP) network. It measures the round-trip time for |
+| | packet sent from the originating host to a destination |
+| | computer that are echoed back to the source. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test topology | Ping packets (ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST |
+| | datagram) are sent from host node to target node to elicit |
+| | ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE. |
