These cycles are consumed by retries and inefficient API calls enqueuing and
dequeuing smaller bursts than specified by the cmdline parameter. This results
in a larger cycle-count measurement and should not be interpreted as an offload

Set the number of packets per burst.
+ This can be set as:
+ * Single value (i.e. ``--burst-sz 16``)
+ * Range of values, using the following structure ``min:inc:max``,
+ where ``min`` is minimum size, ``inc`` is the increment size and ``max``
+ is the maximum size (i.e. ``--burst-sz 16:2:32``)
+ * List of values, up to 32 values, separated in commas (i.e. ``--burst-sz 16,24,32``)
+
* ``--buffer-sz <n>``
Set the size of single packet (plaintext or ciphertext in it).
