Greetings,

This is my first post to the forum, so if this is not the right place for this 
post please let me know.

I had a question on VPP performance. We are running two testcases, we limit it 
to single threaded and just using one core in order to reduce as many variables 
as we can. In the two testcases, the only thing that changes, is the size 
incoming packet to VPP.

Using a 64 byte packet, we see a vectors/node of ~80. Simply changing that 
packet size to 1400 we see the same vectors/node fall down to ~2.

This is regardless of pps… there seems to be a non-linear decrease in 
vectors/node with increasing packet size. I was wondering if anyone had noticed 
some similar behavior.


64- byte packets
