Hello, Performance of L3fwd example application is one of the key benchmarks in DPDK. However, the application does not have many debugging statistics to understand the performance issues. We have added L3fwd as another mode/stream to testpmd which provides enough statistics at various levels. This has allowed us to debug the performance issues effectively.
There is more work to be done to get it to upstreamable state. I am wondering if such a patch is helpful for others and if the community would be interested in taking a look. Please let me know what you think. Thanks, Honnappa
