- - packet sizes: 64B (78B for IPv6 tests) for all tests, IMIX for
- selected tests (vhost, memif).
- - trial duration: 10sec.
- - execution frequency: twice a day, every 12 hrs (02:00, 14:00 UTC).
+- **Ethernet frame sizes**: 64B (78B for IPv6 tests) for all tests, IMIX for
+ selected tests (vhost, memif); all quoted sizes include frame CRC, but
+ exclude per frame transmission overhead of 20B (preamble, inter frame
+ gap).
+- **Maximum load offered**: 10GE and 40GE link (sub-)rates depending on NIC
+ tested, with the actual packet rate depending on frame size,
+ transmission overhead and traffic generator NIC forwarding capacity.
+
+ - For 10GE NICs the maximum packet rate load is 2* 14.88 Mpps for 64B,
+ a 10GE bi-directional link rate.
+ - For 40GE NICs the maximum packet rate load is 2* 18.75 Mpps for 64B,
+ a 40GE bi-directional link sub-rate limited by TG 40GE NIC used,
+ XL710.

+
+Note: MRR tests should be reporting bi-directional link rate (or NIC
+rate, if lower) if tested VPP configuration can handle the packet rate
+higher than bi-directional link rate, e.g. large packet tests and/or
+multi-core tests. In other words MRR = min(VPP rate, bi-dir link rate,
+NIC rate).
