Hi Trevor, one more reply (glad to see so many), Al 1. How do you use VSPERF or plan to use VSPERF? I've used VSPERF test capabilities to examine detailed questions about NFVI dataplane benchmarking. The question of RFC2544 Back to Back Frame test stability has been looming for some time. We have some good results, and still some work to do. 2. Why do you think VSPERF is an important project in OPNFV, what are the main benefits of the project that you foresee? VSPERF provides a platform where the entire Industry can learn more about NFVI dataplane benchmarking, and try-out new techniques together. The project has already contributed to IETF Benchmarking Methodology Working Group on the topics of test configuration for improving repeatability and recommended NFVI test setups (Deployment Scenarios). The value of good specifications in the Open Source community is clear. 3. What are major gaps or features that you would like to see in VSPERF that are not there today? VSPERF could become an implementation of new NFVI benchmarking specifications as they emerge, and help to drive the specification development (as the recent work http://nfvprivatewiki.etsi.org/index.php?title=NFVI_Benchmarking has already done: There are some trade-offs to make when using "free" test traffic generators, especially if results integrity and ability to compare with others are critical aspects of the test campaign).
4. Anything else? This project provides a useful OS tool that is unique in many aspects. It's very worthwhile to continue the work, IMO.

I already approached a few people ... even if you have already given feedback feel free to add anything else. 1. How do you use VSPERF or plan to use VSPERF? 2.
