*** Hall-B FT calorimeter and hodoscope streaming readout test - Pending OK from Sergey B.
**** 2 crates for FT calorimeter, furnished with fADC250s. Total 332 channels.
 
**** 1 crate for the hodoscope that has 12 fADC (total 192 channels)
 
**** Update firmware on all 3 VTPs to send fADC aggregated data frames in the EVIO format, through UDP.
 
**** Design ERSAP FE application containing an actor that receives VTP frames through UDP, extracts information about the source/data ID and frame number (tick), and sends it to the EJFAT packetizing engine.
 
**** Stage 1 testing:  single stream/data-ID
 
***** EJFAT LB + reassembly (RA) engine overall performance data-rate dependence.
 
***** EJFAT LB + RA engine performance dependence from the EJFAT packetizing engine MTU settings
 
**** Stage 2 testing: multi-stream/data_ID
 
***** Use EJFAT LB firmware that supports load balancing of multiple source/data_IDs.
 
***** EJFAT LB + RA engine performance as an event builder (i.e. source ID aggregator), a capability to send all available data_ID's with the same tick (time frame) to a single destination. NB Hall-B FT calorimeter and hodoscope setup is capable of sending up to 12 data streams.
