Test Category Tags
------------------

.. topic:: DEVICETEST

Performance Type Tags
---------------------

.. topic:: NDRPDR

    Single test finding both No Drop Rate and Partial Drop Rate simultaneously.
    The search is done by optimized algorithm which performs
    multiple trial runs at different durations and transmit rates.
    The results come from the final trials, which have duration of 30 seconds.

------------------------

These are describing the traffic offered by Traffic Generator,
"primary" traffic in case of asymmetric load.
For traffic between DUTs, or for "secondary" traffic, see ${overhead} value.

.. topic:: {b}B

    {b} Bytes frames used for test.
