Data Plane Throughput --------------------- Network data plane packet and bandwidth throughput are measured in accordance with :rfc:`2544`, using FD.io CSIT Multiple Loss Ratio search (MLRsearch), an optimized throughput search algorithm, that measures SUT/DUT packet throughput rates at different Packet Loss Ratio (PLR) values. Following MLRsearch values are measured across a range of L2 frame sizes and reported: - NON DROP RATE (NDR): packet and bandwidth throughput at PLR=0%. - **Aggregate packet rate**: NDR_LOWER pps. - **Aggregate bandwidth rate**: NDR_LOWER Gbps. - PARTIAL DROP RATE (PDR): packet and bandwidth throughput at PLR=0.5%. - **Aggregate packet rate**: PDR_LOWER pps. - **Aggregate bandwidth rate**: PDR_LOWER Gbps. NDR and PDR are measured for the following L2 frame sizes (untagged Ethernet): - IPv4 payload: 64B, IMIX (28x64B, 16x570B, 4x1518B), 1518B, 9000B. - IPv6 payload: 78B, IMIX (28x78B, 16x570B, 4x1518B), 1518B, 9000B. All rates are reported from external Traffic Generator perspective.
