  * Today Moongen uses DPDK 1.7.1  (mtahhan, 16:09:55)
  * 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)
  * 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)

    modelled on other scripts in the example dir and it runs an RFC2544
    test  (mtahhan, 16:20:48)
  * the script does a binary search  (mtahhan, 16:22:06)
  * to find the throughput value for the specified traffic loss %
    (mtahhan, 16:22:50)
  * 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)
  * if validation fails the script continues to run the binary search
    till the validation phase passes.  (mtahhan, 16:26:11)
