   4 NICs Comparison
   5 ---------------
   6
   7 Relative comparison of VPP packet throughput (NDR, PDR and MRR) between
   8 NICs (measured for |csit-release) is calculated from results of tests
   9 running on 3-Node Intel Xeon Haswell testbeds (3n-hsw) in 1-core, 2-core
  10 and 4-core (MRR only) configurations.
  11
  12 Listed mean and standard deviation values are computed based on a series
  13 of the same tests executed against respective VPP releases to verify
  14 test results repeatability, with percentage change calculated for mean
  15 values. Note that the standard deviation is quite high for a small
  16 number of packet throughput tests, what indicates poor test results
  17 repeatability and makes the relative change of mean throughput value not
  18 fully representative for these tests. The root causes behind poor
  19 results repeatability vary between the test cases.
