+## Running tests locally
+
+This test framework leverages the go stdlib test suite, so all ebpf tests can
+be run as normal go tests, outside of the bluebox VMs:
+
+```
+#compile the test in advance, so we don't need root to have a go environment
+go test -c
+# run all tests
+sudo ./testrunner.test
+# run a single test
+sudo ./testrunner.test -test.run TestEbpf/Tcpv6ConnectionClose
+# run in verbose mode 
+sudo ./testrunner.test -test.run TestEbpf/Tcpv6ConnectionClose -test.v
