Hi,
Create a fifo to buffer received packets. Once it flows over put
those packets into the actual tx queue. The fifo is created per tx
queue and its size can be set with the --buffersize-before-sending
commandline parameter.
A second commandline parameter is used to set a timeout in
milliseconds after which the fifo is flushed.
--buffersize-before-sending [packet numbers]
Keep the mbuf in a FIFO and forward the over flooding packets from the
FIFO. This queue is per TX-queue (after all other packet processing).
--flush-timer [delay]
Flush the packet queue if no packets have been seen during
[delay]. As long as packets are seen, the timer is reset.
I understand your desire to have some realistic fwd scenario,
but why it all have to be put in iowfd mode?
iowfd is the simplest one, mainly used to test raw PMD pefomance
in nearly ideal conditions.
Why not to create your own forwarding mode (as most people do)?
That way you'll have your 'real world app' test scenario,
while keeping iofwd code small and simple.
+1 to having own forwarding mode for noisy neighbor, and leaving iofwd simple.
I'm okay with a new forwarding mode. I'll send a v2.
Thanks for the review Konstantin and Ferruh!
regards,
Jens
