I think this is not that big of a deal.  Since this test is primarily
about vlans and not performance, the absolute number isn't really that
important.  This is particularly true with UDP where for a given size
I would expect it to either work or not.

UDP also almost always has lower performance than TCP anyways because
there are fewer offloads.

I see that you still have a fixed set of sizes to try for UDP packets,
did you look into detecting the MTU?
