FYI,
I just pushed a patch to change the units of the dpdk "poll-sleep" parameter
from milliseconds to microseconds. Set as shown below, my vpp home gateway runs
at a very low load-average:
dbarach@vppgate:~$ uptime
10:34:00 up 16 days, 23:41, 1 user, load average: 0.07, 0.25, 0.62
No issues keeping up with a ~ 100mbit downstream link, no obvious VoIP issues.
Speedtest.net managed to push the vector size to 3, vs 1.7 when polling
aggressively.
@@ -96,4 +102,7 @@ dpdk {
+
+ ## Sleep for 300 us between polls
+ poll-sleep 300
}
