[dpdk-dev] L2FWD uses 'too much' CPU

Hi, One of the objectives of DPDK is avoiding of interrupts, so application (not only L2FWD) polls NIC infineteley. You can look at programmers guide section 24 "Power Management" and "L3 Forwarding with Power Management Sample Application" in Sample Applications User Guide. Regards, Vladimir.

[dpdk-dev] 82599ES NIC support

Thanks for the information. Indeed, it was failing during NIC initialization stage. The problem was due to frequency scaling. After I disable it from bios, I am now able to run dpdk. Thanks again! -hs On Mon, Mar 31, 2014 at 2:46 PM, Shaw, Jeffrey B wrote: > If you read the output that you p

[dpdk-dev] rte_pktmbuf_alloc fails

I think I found the problem - it was solved by manually calling rte_pktmbuf_free for each packet. It seems that rte_pktmbuf_free is not automatically called from within rte_eth_tx_burst if packets are sent to pcap device. Is it possible? On Tue, Apr 1, 2014 at 2:08 PM, Meir Tseitlin wrote: > H

[dpdk-dev] rte_pktmbuf_alloc fails

Hi, I modified l2fwd example to "inject" additional Ethernet packets into the flow by allocating them with rte_pktmbuf_alloc. I do succeed to call rte_pktmbuf_alloc when none (or almost none) packets where forwarded since application start, but it fails when application is busy handling traffic (

[dpdk-dev] RES: L2FWD uses 'too much' CPU

Hello, Ok. Can you help me with something else ? Right now, at a rate of 1.3~1.4 Mpps I am having about 4~5% of packet loss, I wonder if I use my application wth a 10G NIC, will it not be able to cope with more than 1.4 Mpps ? Because by seeing a packet loss I got a little afraid of it. Si

[dpdk-dev] L2FWD uses 'too much' CPU

Hi, Why by default L2FWD saturate both cores ? I mean, it seems it keeps wasting cycles due to the infinite loop placed there to check the queues. Which would be the way to improve this and make it to become more efficient ? Sincerely, Fred
