Hi Dave, I want to write to a file the packet headers of each packet for some offline traffic analysis. I have 40Gbps incoming traffic, this is why I pass packets to a process node, to not do the write in the internal node.

It would help to describe the problem at a higher level. First question: why pass packets to a process node? From: vpp-dev@lists.fd.io <vpp-dev@lists.fd.io> On Behalf Of Jacques Samain via Lists.Fd.Io Sent: Monday, October 14, 2019 11:02 AM To: vpp-dev@lists.fd.io Cc: vpp-dev@lists.fd.io Subject: [vpp-dev] What is the best way to pass packets from an internal node to a process node? Hello, I am trying to pass packets from an internal node (running on a worker thread) to a process node, and I am looking for the best way to do that. Currently, I have a pool of arrays that is shared between the two nodes (using a spinlock for pool_get and pool_put). In the internal node, I copy each packet of a frame to one of the array of the pool (pool_get) and then pass this array to the process node, using vlib_process_signal_event_mt. In the process node, I do some processing on the packets and then release the array (pool_put). Is there a better way of doing this, without spinlocks for example? Thanks, Jacques
