+Test Case : Speed Capabilities Test

+1. Use testpmd to retrieve the speed information that the interface

is linked at::

I'm afraid that testpmd don't show speed_capa value. It shows only
link_speed value. to get speed_capa values you should write new
ethtool-like application for dpdk interfaces.

That would probably need to be a secondary process, hooking up to the
testpmd process used for testing. Not the simplest solution.

If testpmd is the primary tool used for testing PMDs, it should support
all features being tested. In other words: Testpmd needs to be updated, so
it also shows speed_capa.

I also considered ethtool, but it is only listed under Other Example
Applications, and has no maintainers. So that does not seem to have a
promising future.

updated for this. I will also look into incorporating the suggestion Ivan
made about the naming convention and organization for the config files.
