 +The detailed plans on how the profiles will be used in projects may be project-specific and hosted in the project repos, e.g.
 +  * the purpose in applying the profile to the goals of the project, e.g. for performance / bottleneck testing, or as background traffic for functional/​stability/​etc tests
 +  * the test methodology,​ e.g. test tools and any more detailed profile descriptors / test tool input related to how the profile will be used in the project

 +A key goal of traffic profiles and the related types of test use is that we promote consistency in how the profiles are defined, implemented by load test vendors, and run in the various test tools and labs. That will help ensure an “apples with apples” ​ comparison when we consider results from these tests. ​
