Multiple Loss Ratio search (MLRsearch) tests discover multiple packet
throughput rates in a single search, reducing the overall test execution
-time compared to a binary search. Each rate associated with a distinct
-Packet Loss Ratio (PLR) criteria. In FD.io CSIT two throughput rates are
-discovered: Non-Drop Rate (NDR, with zero packet loss, PLR=0) and
-Partial Drop Rate (PDR, with PLR<0.5%). MLRsearch is compliant with

Usage
a set trial duration, regardless of packet loss. Maximum load for
specified Ethernet frame size is set to the bi-directional link rate.
+Usage
+~~~~~
+
MRR tests are much faster than MLRsearch as they rely on a single trial
or a small set of trials with very short duration. It is this property
that makes them suitable for continuous execution in daily performance
