Hi, In general netmap adapters (i.e. netmap ports) may support NS_MOREFRAG. But in practice this is mainly supported on VALE ports. So if you don't want to add the missing support by yourself you can simply change the netmap buffer size by tuning the sysctl dev.netmap.buf_size, and increase it to

I understand. My point was simply to make sure your performance problems here are not netmap's fault. Cheers, Vincenzo 2017-11-07 18:25 GMT+01:00 Joe Buehler : > I believe the frame drop is due to the nature of my KVM setup. There > are large latencies in processing incoming frames due to the

Does NS_MOREFRAG work when using netmap with network adaptors (e.g. virtio_net)? I need to send and receive large frames -- 9600 bytes -- but the netmap buffer size is only 2048. Joe Buehler ___ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd

Re: virtio_net / netmap RX dropping frames

2017-11-07 Thread Joe Buehler
I believe the frame drop is due to the nature of my KVM setup. There are large latencies in processing incoming frames due to the vagaries of the LINUX kernel. Moving to the RT kernel helped, host tuning is also needed to eliminate large latencies in processing frames. There is good information

If you'd like a copy, I'm pretty sure I can provide one. For context, I found this behaviour because I was tracing a BGP problem with an exchange's Route Server (which I believe is a cisco something-or-other). AFAICT, a software upgrade corrected that problem, but the strange window behavior rema
