Hi Sebastiano, The test proxy application is just an example, so it’s far from optimized. Nonetheless, last time I tested it was capable of saturating a 10Gbps nic. So some things to consider while debugging: - fifo size configuration. The wiki page does not set a fifo size and as a result a small default is used. Try adding “fifo size 4096” to the “test proxy” cli to force fifos of 4MB. - check error counters with “show error” to see if tcp or the interfaces exhibit other errors. - see if vpp is actually loaded with “show run” (do a clear run to check only recent data).
