MLRsearch discovers any number of packet -throughput rates in a single search, with each rate associated with a -different Packet Loss Ratio (PLR) criteria. - -Two throughput rates of interest in FD.io CSIT are Non-Drop Rate (NDR, -with zero packet loss, PLR=0) and Partial Drop Rate (PDR, with packet -loss rate not greater than the configured non-zero PLR, currently 0.5%). - -MLRsearch discovers all the rates in a single pass, reducing required time -duration compared to separate `binary search`_es for each rate. Overall -search time is reduced even further by relying on shorter trial -durations of intermediate steps, with only the final measurements -conducted at the specified final trial duration. This results in the -shorter overall execution time when compared to standard NDR/PDR binary -search, while guaranteeing similar results. - -..
