MLRsearch aims to minimize search duration, support multiple loss ratio searches, and enhance result repeatability and comparability. The primary reason for extending RFC 2544 is to address the challenges of evaluating and testing the data planes of software- based networking systems. To give users more freedom, MLRsearch provides additional configuration options such as allowing multiple short trials per load instead of one large trial, tolerating a certain percentage of trial results with higher loss, and supporting the search for multiple goals with varying loss ratios.}, }
