Hi Xiang, My best guess is that the rx-miss field comes from DPDK, quote from their datasheet:
Packets are missed when the receive FIFO has insufficient space to store the incoming packet. This might be caused due to insufficient buffers allocated, or because there is insufficient bandwidth on the IO bus. And most likely it’s not related to VPP itself.

Below I give two groups of running data in two different situation using the 'show run' command . In both situation VPP drop packets ( from the 'rx-miss' output in 'show int' command). In my opinion, when VPP begins to drop packets, the value of Vectors/Call should be high. So I think situation 1 is easy to understand. But the running data of situation 2 make me confused because Vectors/Call is still very low. Can anyone explains why and what's the relationship between VPP performance and average vectors per node? --------------------------------------------------------situation 1------------------------------------------------------------------- Thread 1 vpp_wk_0 (lcore 1) Time 225.3, average vectors/node 255.99, last 128 main loops 0.00 per node 0.00 vector rates in 2.2244e6, out 2.2242e6, drop 2.0019e2, punt 0.0000e0 Name State Calls Vectors Suspends Clocks Vectors/Call TenGigabitEthernet6/0/1-output active 1957460 501107294 0 8.67e0 255.99 TenGigabitEthernet6/0/1-tx active 1957460 501107294 0 1.08e2 255.99 dpdk-input polling 1227897513 501152389 0 4.65e2 .41 error-drop active 182 45103 0 4.15e1 247.82 ip4-arp active 138 34616 0 3.43e1 250.84 ip4-drop active 44 10487 0 8.91e0 238.34 ip4-input-no-checksum active 1957630 501152389 0 3.77e1 255.99 ip4-lookup active 1957630 501152389 0 2.98e1 255.99 ip4-mimic-classify active 1957630 501152389 0 2.13e2 255.99 ip4-rewrite active 1957452 501107286 0 2.96e1 255.99 lookup-ip4-src active 1957630 501152389 0 5.07e1 255.99 snat-in2out-fast active 1957630 501152389 0 2.56e2 255.99 --------------------------------------------------------situation 2------------------------------------------------------------------- Thread 2 vpp_wk_1 (lcore 2) Time 1024.5, average vectors/node 8.57, last 128 main loops 0.00 per node 0.00 vector rates in 1.2209e6, out 1.2209e6, drop 0.0000e0, punt 0.0000e0 Name State Calls Vectors Suspends Clocks Vectors/Call TenGigabitEthernet6/0/0-output active 145982828 1250882588 0 2.93e1 8.57 TenGigabitEthernet6/0/0-tx active 145982828 1250882588 0 1.37e2 8.57 dpdk-input polling 9106470948 1250882588 0 1.31e3 .14 ip4-input-no-checksum active 145982828 1250882588 0 7.39e1 8.57 ip4-lookup active 145982828 1250882588 0 7.56e1 8.57 ip4-mimic-classify active 145982828 1250882588 0 1.31e2 8.57 ip4-rewrite active 145982828 1250882588 0 6.33e1 8.57 snat-out2in-fast active 145982828 1250882588 0 4.50e1 8.57 _______________________________________________ vpp-dev mailing list vpp-dev@lists.fd.io https://lists.fd.io/mailman/listinfo/vpp-dev
