Hello Experts,

I am trying to measure the performance of memif interface and getting a
very low bandwidth(652Kbytes/sec).  I am new to performance tuning and any
help on troubleshooting the issue would be very helpful.

The test topology i am using is as below:



Basically, I have two lxc containers each hosting an instance of VPP. The
VPP instances are connected using memif. On lxc-01 i run the iperf3 client
that generates TCP traffic and on lxc-02 i run the iperf3 server. Linux
veth pairs are used for interconnecting the iperf tool with VPP.

No workers. VPP main thread, iperf client and server are pinned to separate
cores.
