I am troubled by the number of data points flent reports for some pings and
uploads in this setup. A typical ack-filter result, similar to rrul2 I
posted before, looks like this:
Summary of rrul test run 'rrul_cakeeth_ds3_900mbit_45mbit_ack' (at
2017-11-29 14:37:5

Shouldn't all "# data pts" be ~300?
