actual NDR/PDR (e.g. 0.1% of 10Gbps is 10Mbps). It also determines how small the search range must be in the binary search.
The recursion narrows down the range by half and stops when:
+
- the range is smaller than the configured load_epsilon value
- or when the search hits 100% or 0% of line rate
+One particularity of using a software traffic generator is that the requested Tx rate may not always be met due to
+resource limitations (e.g. CPU is not fast enough to generate a very high load). The algorithm should take this into
+consideration:
+
+- always monitor the actual Tx rate achieved
+- actual Tx rate is always <= requested Tx rate
+- the measured drop rate should always be relative to the actual Tx rate
+- if the actual Tx rate is < requested Tx rate and the measured drop rate is already within threshold (<NDR/PDR threshold) then the binary search must stop with proper warning
