HTTP/TCP Performance
====================
-Plotted results are generated by multiple executions of the same CSIT
-performance tests across three physical testbeds within LF FD.io labs.
-To provide a descriptive summary view, Box-and-Whisker plots are used to
-display variation in measured performance values, without making any
-assumptions of the underlying statistical distribution.
-
-For each plotted test case, Box-and-Whisker plots show the quartiles
-(Min, 1st quartile / 25th percentile, 2nd quartile / 50th percentile /
-mean, 3rd quartile / 75th percentile, Max) across collected data set
-(data set size stated in the note below). Outliers are plotted as
-individual points. Min and max values are plotted as bottom and top
-Whiskers respectively. 2nd and 3rd quartiles are plotted as bottom and
-top edge of the box. If multiple samples match only two values, and all
-samples fall between them, then no whiskers are plotted. If all samples
-have the same value, only a horizontal line is plotted.
