The PTF sends 3*packet_count packets and checks each next-hop is within (1 +/- tolerance)*packet_count. Per next-hop the count is Binomial with std/mean = sqrt(2/(3*packet_count)) = ~2.6% at packet_count=1000, so the default 3% tolerance was only ~1.1 sigma and flaked on a healthy dataplane (buckets:256, ~0.4% systematic skew). Raise packet_count to 2000 and pass a per-test tolerance of 0.07 (~3.8 sigma margin) so sampling noise no longer fails the test while a genuine >7% imbalance still does. The per-test tolerance avoids loosening the stricter global distribution checks.

At packet_count=1000 with tolerance=0.03 the pass band is only ~1.34 sigma of the 2-way binomial split, so a correct ~50/50 hash still fails intermittently (observed 942/1000 on IPv6 combos). This is test flakiness, not a hashing defect. Halve the relative variance by sending 2000 packets/endpoint and widen the inner-field tolerance to 0.07 (~4.4 sigma), mirroring the already-merged Test_VxLAN_ecmp_random_hash tolerance change. The underlying inner-aware flow hash keeps distributing correctly; this only removes the false failures. Validated on a t1-lag-vpp testbed: the previously flaky entropy cases (test_vxlan_random_src_port, test_vxlan_varying_src_ip, all encap combos) pass reliably after the change.

Give the random-hash check (tc11) its own ecmp_random_hash_tolerance of 0.20 (vpp) to clear that structural skew with ~4 sigma of headroom while still catching a grossly broken hash. The 2-way entropy groups are a power of 2 and split evenly, so they keep the tight 0.07 tolerance. Non-VPP ASICs are unchanged at 0.03 / 1000 packets. Validated on the t1-lag-vpp testbed: Test_VxLAN_ecmp_random_hash and Test_VxLAN_entropy pass 20/20 across all four encap types.
