Soak Tests
==========
-Long duration soak tests are executed using `PLRsearch algorithm`_.
-
-As soak tests are new, and take long time to run,
-only 6 tests were executed. From those, 4 tests encountered some caveat,
-making their results unreliable.
+Long duration (2 hours per test) soak tests are executed
+using :ref:`plrsearch` algorithm. As the test take long time, only 10 test
+were executed, two runs each.
Additional information about graph data:
#. **X-axis Labels**: indices of test suites.
-#. **Y-axis Labels**: estimated intervals for packet throughput value in [Mpps].
+#. **Y-axis Labels**: estimated lower bounds for critical rate value in [Mpps].
#. **Graph Legend**: list of X-axis indices with CSIT test suites.
-#. **Hover Information**: lists the lower and upper bounds for the estimated
- throughput value.
+#. **Hover Information**: in general lists minimum, first quartile, median,
+ third quartile, and maximum. If either type of outlier is present the
+ whisker on the appropriate side is taken to 1.5×IQR from the quartile
+ (the "inner fence") rather than the max or min, and individual outlying
+ data points are displayed as unfilled circles (for suspected outliers)
+ or filled circles (for outliers). (The "outer fence" is 3×IQR from the
+ quartile.)
+ When number of samples is low, some values are not displayed.
