    9. Today Moongen uses DPDK 1.7.1 (mtahhan, 16:09:55)
    10. it would be a "nice to have" to upgrade to DPDK 2.2 but this is up to the Moongen maintainers. (mtahhan, 16:10:48)
    11. Bill can't run Moongen with DPDK 2.1 or DPDK 2.2, but this isn't an issue for us, we should just use Moongen as a standalone traffic generator (mtahhan, 16:11:42)
    12. examples/opnfv-vsperf.lua is a script that Andrew and Bill wrote modelled on other scripts in the example dir and it runs an RFC2544 test (mtahhan, 16:20:48)
    13. the script does a binary search (mtahhan, 16:22:06)
    14. to find the throughput value for the specified traffic loss % (mtahhan, 16:22:50)
    15. Bill added a validation run to the script to ensure that the throughput value found in the binary search is indeed the x% frameloss throughput value (mtahhan, 16:25:34)
    16. if validation fails the script continues to run the binary search till the validation phase passes. (mtahhan, 16:26:11)
