"--rx_rate for an RX-only test, --tx_rate for a TX-only test, or both for\n"
"a full-duplex test. As a result, overruns, underruns, dropped packets,\n"
"and other relevant statistics are reported.\n"
"\n"
"Key features:\n"
" - Supports RX-only, TX-only, or simultaneous RX+TX benchmarking.\n"
" - Configurable sample rates, buffer sizes, packet sizes, and data\n"
" formats.\n"
" - Multi-channel and multi-USRP device support.\n"
" - Reports detailed statistics and error thresholds.\n"
"\n"
"Benchmark Statistics Overview:\n"
" Transmit (TX) Statistics\n"
" - Num transmitted samples: The total number of samples successfully\n"
" sent from the host to the USRP device.\n"
" - Num underruns detected: The number of times the TX radio transmit\n"
" buffer ran empty because the host did not supply data fast enough\n"
" (EVENT_CODE_UNDERFLOW or EVENT_CODE_UNDERFLOW_IN_PACKET).\n"
" - Num sequence errors (Tx): The count of sequence error events from\n"
" host to device, indicating packet loss or drops between the host\n"
" and the USRP device (EVENT_CODE_SEQ_ERROR or\n"
" EVENT_CODE_SEQ_ERROR_IN_BURST).\n"
" - Num timeouts (Tx): Number of times the TX streamer was unable to\n"
" send data within the requested time window.\n"
" Receive (RX) Statistics\n"
" - Num received samples: The total number of samples successfully\n"
" received from the USRP device.\n"
" - Num overruns detected: The number of RX radio receive buffer\n"
" overflows, which occur when the host does not read incoming data\n"
" fast enough (ERROR_CODE_OVERFLOW).\n"
" - Num sequence errors (Rx): The count of sequence error events from\n"
" device to host, indicating packet drops between the USRP device\n"
" and the host (detected via the out_of_sequence flag in metadata).\n"
" - Num dropped samples: Number of samples lost during recovery from\n"
" overflow situations.\n"
" - Num late commands: Number of timed receive commands that were\n"
" scheduled for a time in the past (this program uses timed receive\n"
" commands when a --rx-delay is configured or when --multi_streamer\n"
" is configured to run multiple streamers in parallel).\n"
" - Num timeouts (Rx): Number of times the RX streamer could not\n"
" complete a receive request within the allotted time.\n"
"\n"
"Usage examples:\n"
"1. Benchmark RX rate only (single channel, default settings):\n"
" benchmark_rate --args=\"addr=192.168.10.2\" --rx_rate=10e6\n"
" --duration=10\n"
"2. Benchmark TX rate only (single channel, default settings):\n"
" benchmark_rate --args=\"addr=192.168.10.2\" --tx_rate=10e6\n"
" --duration=10\n"
"3. Full-duplex (RX and TX together, single channel):\n"
" benchmark_rate --args=\"addr=192.168.10.2\" --rx_rate=10e6\n"
" --tx_rate=10e6 --duration=10\n"
"4. Set error thresholds to fail early on overruns/underruns:\n"
" benchmark_rate --args=\"addr=192.168.10.2\"\n"
" --rx_rate=10e6 --tx_rate=10e6\n"
" --overrun-threshold=10 --underrun-threshold=10\n"
"5. Use two USRPs with two channels each:\n"
