deployed Architecture
We reuse the test architecture for smart NIC in R3 release. The below description is the same with the R3 release test documents.
To deploy the Test architecture for smartNIC, we use a private Jenkins and an Intel a server equipped with a BlueField v2 SmartNIC.

Traffic Generator
We will use DPDK pktgen as the Traffic Generator.

For the OVS-DPDK running on SmartNIC with CT function enabled, we tested on 17C8G VM running testpmd (where 1 core for lcore and 16 cores for nb cores) as the performance test are still running.
