+| ... | algorithms with configured starting rate and final step that determines
+| ... | throughput measurement resolution. Test packets are generated by TG on
+| ... | links to DUTs. TG traffic profile contains two L3 flow-groups
+| ... | (flow-group per direction, 253 flows per flow-group) with all packets
+| ... | containing Ethernet header, IPv4 header with IP protocol=61 and
+| ... | static payload. MAC addresses are matching MAC addresses of the TG
