This test verifies that a client sending faster than a server can drain sees
pushback (i.e., attempts to send succeed only after appropriate delays).
+### Experimental Tests
+
+These tests are not yet standardized, and are not yet implemented in all
+languages. Therefore they are not part of our interop matrix.
+
+#### rpc_soak
+
+The client performs many large_unary RPCs in sequence over the same channel.
+The number of RPCs is configured by the experimental flag, `soak_iterations`.
+
+#### channel_soak
+
+The client performs many large_unary RPCs in sequence. Before each RPC, it
+tears down and rebuilds the channel. The number of RPCs is configured by
+the experimental flag, `soak_iterations`.
+
+This tests puts stress on several gRPC components; the resolver, the load
+balancer, and the RPC hotpath.
