+Test Case -  UDP permanent face test scenario
+=====================
+
+## Topology
+A--B
+
+test UDP permanent face minimal feature set
+
+## Procedure:
+
+1. start NFD on A and B
+2. on B, start ndnpingserver for prefix /B
+3. on A, create a UDP permanent face toward B
+4. on A, register prefix ndn:/B on the face created in step 3
+5. on A, execute ndnping for prefix ndn:/B with client specifier "a" for 10 probes; fail the scenario if loss rate is more than 15%
+6. stop NFD on B
+7. on A, execute ndnping for prefix ndn:/B with client specifier "b" for 10 probes; fail the scenario if loss rate is less than 100%
+8. start NFD on B
+9. on B, start ndnpingserver for prefix /B
+10. on A, execute ndnping for prefix ndn:/B with client specifier "c" for 10 probes; fail the scenario if loss rate is more than 15%
+
+## Return value
+PASS of all tests finished successfully.
