Hi list, I was looking in the igb driver that I use on some Intel nics (dualport and quadport gigabit) and in the source code, the feature:
/* ** Header split causes the packet header to ** be dma'd to a seperate mbuf from the payload. ** this can have memory alignment benefits. But ** another plus is that small packets often fit ** into the header and thus use no cluster. Its ** a very workload dependent type feature. */ Somebody is using this feature? What's the results? I think that this feature can be helpfull to improve the performance, allowing the processing of the packet headers more fastest (pfills, routing, etc). Is this true? Thanks in advance.
