Hi Dom,
From the logs it looks like TSO is not on. I wonder if the vhost nic actually
honors the “tso on” flag. Have you also tried with native vhost driver, instead
of the dpdk one? I’ve never tried with the tcp, so I don’t know if it properly
advertises the fact that it supports TSO.

Hi,
I rebuilt VPP on master and updated startup.conf to enable tso as follows:
dpdk {
dev :00:03.0{
num-rx-desc 2048
num-tx-desc 2048
tso on
}
uio-driver vfio-pci
enable-tcp-udp-checksum
}
I'm not sure whether it is working or not, there is nothing in show session
verbose 2 to indicate whethe

Hi Florin,
The saga continues, a little progress and more questions. In order to reduce
the variables, I am now only using VPP on one of the VMs: iperf3 server is
running on a VM with native Linux networking, and iperf3+VCL client running on
the second VM.

Hi Dom,
Great to see progress! More inline.

Hi Florin,
Some progress, at least with the built-in echo app, thank you for all the
suggestions so far! By adjusting the fifo-size and testing in half-duplex I was
able to get close to 5 Gbps between the two openstack instances using the
built-in test echo app:
vpp# test echo clients gbytes 1
Hi Dom,
I would actually recommend testing with iperf because it should not be slower
than the builtin echo server/client apps. Remember to add fifo-size to your
echo apps cli commands (something like fifo-size 4096 for 4MB) to increase the
fifo sizes.
Also note that you’re trying full-duplex
Hi Dom,
I suspect your client/server are really bursty in sending/receiving and your
fifos are relatively small. So probably the delay in issuing the cli in the two
vms is enough for the receiver to drain its rx fifo. Also, whenever the rx fifo
on the receiver fills, the sender will most proba
Hi Florin,
Those are tcp echo results. Note that the "show session verbose 2" command was
issued while there was still traffic being sent. Interesting that on the client
(sender) side the tx fifo is full (cursize 65534 nitems 65534) and on the
server (receiver) side the rx fifo is empty (cursiz
Hi Dom,
[traveling so a quick reply]
For some reason, your rx/tx fifos (see nitems), and implicitly the snd and rcv
wnd, are 64kB in your logs lower. Is this the tcp echo or iperf result?
Regards,
Florin

It turns out I was using DPDK virtio, with help from Moshin I changed the
configuration and tried to repeat the tests using VPP native virtio, results
are similar but there are some interesting new observations, sharing them here
in case they are useful to others or trigger any ideas.

Are you using VPP native virtio or DPDK virtio ?
