   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 3n-skx, 2n-skx testbeds.
  10
  11 Listed mean and standard deviation values are computed based on a series
  12 of the same tests executed against respective VPP releases to verify
  13 test results repeatability, with percentage change calculated for mean
  14 values. Note that the standard deviation is quite high for a small
  15 number of packet throughput tests, what indicates poor test results
  16 repeatability and makes the relative change of mean throughput value not
  17 fully representative for these tests. The root causes behind poor
  18 results repeatability vary between the test cases.
