   5. So, with --k8s and pcp_thput command line option VSPERF does more of the automation, including setting-up the pods , vswitch, (acmacm, 16:34:48)
   6. , also needs to add OVS flow entries (acmacm, 16:35:30)

   8. Trex is using Binary Search with loss verification. result seems to be +7Gbps (acmacm, 16:39:04)
   9. Parth and emmanuel's cluster-deployment deploys MULTUS, a variable determines ovsdpdk, vpp, sriov (acmacm, 16:41:35)
