This test is meant to check TC bandwidth distribution, not the tx_max of the VF. The total bandwidth check is only there to make sure that FW tokens limit traffic, because the per-TC share is only meaningful when the link is fully saturated.
Because the measured total is the sum of two iperf3 streams that do not always start or stop at the same time, using a strict 1 Gbps target caused random failures. This change adds a tolerance parameter to BandwidthValidator, keeps per-TC checks tight at +-12%, and relaxes the total bandwidth check to +-25% around 1 Gbps. This avoids false failures while still confirming that the TC share validation is meaningful.
