4 Network data plane packet and bandwidth throughput are measured in
5 accordance with :rfc:`2544`, using FD.io CSIT Multiple Loss Ratio search
6 (MLRsearch), an optimized throughput search algorithm, that measures
7 SUT/DUT packet throughput rates at different Packet Loss Ratio (PLR)
10 Following MLRsearch values are measured across a range of L2 frame sizes
13 - NON DROP RATE (NDR): packet and bandwidth throughput at PLR=0%.
15 - **Aggregate packet rate**: NDR_LOWER <bi-directional packet rate>
17 - **Aggregate bandwidth rate**: NDR_LOWER <bi-directional bandwidth
20 - PARTIAL DROP RATE (PDR): packet and bandwidth throughput at PLR=0.5%.
22 - **Aggregate packet rate**: PDR_LOWER <bi-directional packet rate>
24 - **Aggregate bandwidth rate**: PDR_LOWER <bi-directional bandwidth
27 NDR and PDR are measured for the following L2 frame sizes (untagged
30 - IPv4 payload: 64B, IMIX (28x64B, 16x570B, 4x1518B), 1518B, 9000B.
31 - IPv6 payload: 78B, IMIX (28x78B, 16x570B, 4x1518B), 1518B, 9000B.
33 All rates are reported from external Traffic Generator perspective.
