+vhost async data-path robust with cbdma test plan
+=================================================
+
+Description
+===========
+
+This document provides the test plan for testing Vhost asynchronous
+data path robust with CBDMA driver.
+
+CBDMA is a kind of DMA engine, Vhost asynchronous data path leverages DMA devices
+to offload memory copies from the CPU and it is implemented in an asynchronous way.
+As a result, large packet copy can be accelerated by the DMA engine, and vhost can
+free CPU cycles for higher level functions.
+
+Asynchronous data path is enabled per tx/rx queue, and users need
+to specify the DMA device used by the tx/rx queue. Each tx/rx queue
+only supports to use one DMA device, but one DMA device can be shared
+among multiple tx/rx queues of different vhostpmd ports.
+
+Two PMD parameters are added:
+- dmas:	specify the used DMA device for a tx/rx queue
+(Default: no queues enable asynchronous data path)
+- dma-ring-size: DMA ring size.
+(Default: 4096).
+
+Here is an example:
+--vdev 'eth_vhost0,iface=./s0,dmas=[txq0@0000:00.01.0;rxq0@0000:00.01.1],dma-ring-size=4096'
+
+Test case
+=========
+
+Common steps
+------------
+1. Bind 1 NIC port and CBDMA devices to vfio-pci::
+
+    <dpdk dir># ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci <DUT port pci device id>
+    <dpdk dir># ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci <DUT port DMA device id>
+
+    For example, Bind 1 NIC port and 2 CBDMA devices::
+    ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 0000:00:18.0
+    ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 0000:00:04.0,0000:00:04.1
+
+2. Send imix packets [64,1518] to NIC by traffic generator::
+
+    The TCP imix packets include packet size [64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 1518], and the format of packet is as follows.
+    +-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+
+    | MAC         | MAC         | IPV4        | IPV4        |
+    | Src address | Dst address | Src address | Dst address |
+    |-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
+    | Random MAC  | Virtio mac  | Random IP   | Random IP   |
+    +-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+
+    All the packets in this test plan use the Virtio mac: 00:11:22:33:44:10.
+
