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. *Test Environment:* *CPU Details:* *-cpu description: CPU product: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz vendor: Intel Corp. physical id: c bus info: cpu@0 version: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz serial: None slot: U3E1 size: 3100MHz capacity: 3100MHz width: 64 bits clock: 100MHz capabilities: x86-64 fpu fpu_exception wp vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx pdpe1gb rdtscp constant_tsc art arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl xtopology nonstop_tsc cpuid aperfmperf pni pclmulqdq dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 sdbg fma cx16 xtpr pdcm pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic movbe popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes xsave avx f16c rdrand lahf_lm abm 3dnowprefetch cpuid_fault epb invpcid_single pti ssbd ibrs ibpb stibp tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid fsgsbase tsc_adjust bmi1 avx2 smep bmi2 erms invpcid mpx rdseed adx smap clflushopt intel_pt xsaveopt xsavec xgetbv1 xsaves dtherm ida arat pln pts hwp hwp_notify hwp_act_window hwp_epp md_clear flush_l1d cpufreq configuration: cores=2 enabledcores=2 threads=4 *VPP Configuration:* No workers.
