+      * Well done to Andrew and Bill, fantastic progress has been made in last few weeks.
+      * Andrew Theurer has made significant changes to the tool.   This is in regards to the Lua wrapper around the DPDK engine, in particular the file opnfv-vsperf.lua which instruments RFC 2544 like testing.
+      * The changes include but are not limited to: Multi (concurrent) device support.  As many pairs of ports as the user wants -Multi queue support for transmit -Hardware tx method is default.
+      * All bugs with hw tx should now be avoided (with multi queue support) -Major clean up and reorganization of code -Test parameters are now in file -no command line arguments -Tx rate is calibrated before testing to never be above requested rate
+      * -Uni/bidirectional logic handled in connections[] array -Use log: facility that comes with MoonGen -Too low tx rate detection allows N attempts instead of aborting on first failure
