+Performance trending is currently based on the Maximum Receive Rate (MRR) tests.
+MRR tests measure the packet forwarding rate under the maximum load offered
 by traffic generator over a set trial duration, regardless of packet
 loss. See :ref:`trending_methodology` section for more detail including
 trend and anomaly calculations.
