[dpdk-dev] Rx-errors with testpmd (only 75% line rate)

2014-02-10 Thread Jun Han
Hi Michael, We are also trying to purchase an IXIA traffic generator. Could you let us know which chassis + load modules you are using so we can use that as a reference to look for the model we need? There seems to be quite a number of different models. Thank you. On Tue, Jan 28, 2014 at 9:31 A

Dmitry, I cannot thank you enough for this information. This too was my main problem. I put a "small" unmeasured delay before the call to rte_eth_rx_burst() and suddenly it starts returning bursts of 512 packets vs. 4!! Best Regards, Mike On Wed, Jan 22, 2014 at 9:52 AM, Dmitry Vyal wrote: >

Thank you, everyone, for all of your suggestions, but unfortunately I'm still having the problem. I have reduced the test down to using 2 cores (one is the master core) both of which are on the socket in which the NIC's PCI slot is connected. I am running in rxonly mode, so I am basically just co

Hello MIchael, I suggest you to check average burst sizes on receive queues. Looks like I stumbled upon a similar issue several times. If you are calling rte_eth_rx_burst too frequently, NIC begins losing packets no matter how many CPU horse power you have (more you have, more it loses, actuall

Does your NIC connect directly to your Socket? If not, the packet might go through QPI, which will cause additional latency. Check your motherboard. Wang, Shawn On 1/22/14, 6:52 AM, "Dmitry Vyal" wrote: >Hello MIchael, > >I suggest you to check average burst sizes on receive queues. Looks li

Hi Michael, > What can I do to trace down this problem? May I suggest that you try to be more selective in the core masks on the command line. The test app may choose some cores from "other" CPU sockets. Only enable cores of the one socket to which the NIC is attached. > It seems very similar t
