VSWITCHPERF Tests to be defined

The test scratchpad (for tests that are WIP/being defined/looked at by the community) can be found here: https://etherpad.opnfv.org/p/vSwitchTestsDrafts

Test	Priority	JIRA
Scalability Tests adding More VMs in succession and building a performance profile as we add more VMs.	1	238

Tests to evaluate vSwitch contribution to 3GPP performance objectives (3GPP TS 23.203 Policy and Charging Control Architecture)

SOAK tests (using RFC 2889 Max Forwarding Rate, not RFC 2544, to collect intermediate results)
