+tdc - Linux Traffic Control (tc) unit testing suite
+
+Author: Lucas Bates - lucasb@mojatatu.com
+
+tdc is a Python script to load tc unit tests from a separate JSON file and
+execute them inside a network namespace dedicated to the task.
+
+
+REQUIREMENTS
+------------
+
+*  Minimum Python version of 3.4. Earlier 3.X versions may work but are not
+   guaranteed.
+
+*  The kernel must have network namespace support if using nsPlugin
+
+*  The kernel must have veth support available, as a veth pair is created
+   prior to running the tests when using nsPlugin.
+
+*  The kernel must have the appropriate infrastructure enabled to run all tdc
+   unit tests. See the config file in this directory for minimum required
+   features. As new tests will be added, config options list will be updated.
+
+*  All tc-related features being tested must be built in or available as
+   modules.  To check what is required in current setup run:
+   ./tdc.py -c
+
+   Note:
+   In the current release, tdc run will abort due to a failure in setup or
+   teardown commands - which includes not being able to run a test simply
+   because the kernel did not support a specific feature. (This will be
+   handled in a future version - the current workaround is to run the tests
+   on specific test categories that your kernel supports)
+
+
+BEFORE YOU RUN
+--------------
+
+The path to the tc executable that will be most commonly tested can be defined
+in the tdc_config.py file. Find the 'TC' entry in the NAMES dictionary and
+define the path.
+
+If you need to test a different tc executable on the fly, you can do so by
+using the -p option when running tdc:
+	./tdc.py -p /path/to/tc
+
+
+RUNNING TDC
+-----------
+
+To use tdc, root privileges are required.  This is because the
+commands being tested must be run as root.  The code that enforces
+execution by root uid has been moved into a plugin (see PLUGIN
+ARCHITECTURE, below).
+
+Tests that use a network device should have nsPlugin.py listed as a
+requirement for that test. nsPlugin executes all commands within a
+network namespace and creates a veth pair which may be used in those test
+cases. To disable execution within the namespace, pass the -N option
+to tdc when starting a test run; the veth pair will still be created
+by the plugin.
+
+Running tdc without any arguments will run all tests. Refer to the section
+on command line arguments for more information, or run:
+	./tdc.py -h
+
+tdc will list the test names as they are being run, and print a summary in
+TAP (Test Anything Protocol) format when they are done. If tests fail,
+output captured from the failing test will be printed immediately following
+the failed test in the TAP output.
+
+
+OVERVIEW OF TDC EXECUTION
+-------------------------
+
+One run of tests is considered a "test suite" (this will be refined in the
+future).  A test suite has one or more test cases in it.
+
+A test case has four stages:
+
+  - setup
+  - execute
+  - verify
+  - teardown
+
+The setup and teardown stages can run zero or more commands.  The setup
+stage does some setup if the test needs it.  The teardown stage undoes
+the setup and returns the system to a "neutral" state so any other test
+can be run next.  These two stages require any commands run to return
+success, but do not otherwise verify the results.
+
+The execute and verify stages each run one command.  The execute stage
+tests the return code against one or more acceptable values.  The
+verify stage checks the return code for success, and also compares
+the stdout with a regular expression.
+
+Each of the commands in any stage will run in a shell instance.
+
+
+USER-DEFINED CONSTANTS
+----------------------
+
+The tdc_config.py file contains multiple values that can be altered to suit
+your needs. Any value in the NAMES dictionary can be altered without affecting
+the tests to be run. These values are used in the tc commands that will be
+executed as part of the test. More will be added as test cases require.
+
+Example:
+	$TC qdisc add dev $DEV1 ingress
+
+The NAMES values are used to substitute into the commands in the test cases.
+
+

+
+PLUGIN ARCHITECTURE
+-------------------
+
+There is now a plugin architecture, and some of the functionality that
+was in the tdc.py script has been moved into the plugins.
+
+The plugins are in the directory plugin-lib.  The are executed from
+directory plugins.  Put symbolic links from plugins to plugin-lib,
+and name them according to the order you want them to run. This is not
+necessary if a test case being run requires a specific plugin to work.
+
+Example:
+
+bjb@bee:~/work/tc-testing$ ls -l plugins
+total 4
+lrwxrwxrwx  1 bjb  bjb    27 Oct  4 16:12 10-rootPlugin.py -> ../plugin-lib/rootPlugin.py
+lrwxrwxrwx  1 bjb  bjb    25 Oct 12 17:55 20-nsPlugin.py -> ../plugin-lib/nsPlugin.py
+-rwxr-xr-x  1 bjb  bjb     0 Sep 29 15:56 __init__.py
+
+The plugins are a subclass of TdcPlugin, defined in TdcPlugin.py and
+must be called "SubPlugin" so tdc can find them.  They are
+distinguished from each other in the python program by their module
+name.
+
+This base class supplies "hooks" to run extra functions.  These hooks are as follows:
+
+pre- and post-suite
+pre- and post-case
+pre- and post-execute stage
+adjust-command (runs in all stages and receives the stage name)
+
+The pre-suite hook receives the number of tests and an array of test ids.
+This allows you to dump out the list of skipped tests in the event of a
+failure during setup or teardown stage.
+
+The pre-case hook receives the ordinal number and test id of the current test.
+
+The adjust-command hook receives the stage id (see list below) and the
+full command to be executed.  This allows for last-minute adjustment
+of the command.
+
+The stages are identified by the following strings:
+
+  - pre  (pre-suite)
+  - setup
+  - command
+  - verify
+  - teardown
+  - post (post-suite)
+
+
+To write a plugin, you need to inherit from TdcPlugin in
+TdcPlugin.py.  To use the plugin, you have to put the
+implementation file in plugin-lib, and add a symbolic link to it from
+plugins.  It will be detected at run time and invoked at the
+appropriate times.  There are a few examples in the plugin-lib
+directory:
+
+  - rootPlugin.py:
+      implements the enforcement of running as root
+  - nsPlugin.py:
+      sets up a network namespace and runs all commands in that namespace,
+      while also setting up dummy devices to be used in testing.
+  - valgrindPlugin.py
+      runs each command in the execute stage under valgrind,
+      and checks for leaks.
+      This plugin will output an extra test for each test in the test file,
+      one is the existing output as to whether the test passed or failed,
+      and the other is a test whether the command leaked memory or not.
+      (This one is a preliminary version, it may not work quite right yet,
+      but the overall template is there and it should only need tweaks.)
+  - buildebpfPlugin.py:
+      builds all programs in $EBPFDIR.
