test_spec: LTD:Throughput.RFC2544.Profile Metric Clarifications

LTD.Throughput.RFC2544.Profile refers to the metric "maximum forwarding rate"
but implies that this is the zero% loss rate, which would be the Throughput
level (MFR is usually higher than Throughput, because MFR allows losses).
It may be that MFR and Throughput are just interchanged in the last two
paragraphs of the description.

     The offered traffic rate is described as a percentage delta with respect
-    to the DUT's maximum forwarding rate as determined by
+    to the DUT's RFC 2544 Throughput as determined by
     LTD.Throughput.RFC2544.PacketLoss Ratio (0% Packet Loss case). A delta
-    of 0% is equivalent to an offered traffic rate equal to the maximum
-    forwarding rate; A delta of +50% indicates an offered rate half-way
-    between the maximum forwarding rate and line-rate, whereas a delta of
+    of 0% is equivalent to an offered traffic rate equal to the RFC 2544
+    Throughput; A delta of +50% indicates an offered rate half-way
+    between the Throughput and line-rate, whereas a delta of
     -50% indicates an offered rate of half the maximum rate. Therefore the
     range of the delta figure is natuarlly bounded at -100% (zero offered
     traffic) and +100% (traffic offered at line rate).
