Please note, (I've mentioned this on the list before)  if you are using the
Xilinx program templates for your code, they are INCORRECT, it "works" with
1.3.2 but will only run for ~10min (or a few hours depending on your
application) with 1.4
 
First off, I get about 15% better TX (which is all our application cares
about for speed) with 1.4, also zero copy actually works, which is a huge
improvement.
 
Maybe I'll add this to the wiki someplace, but here's what you need to fix.
 
Anyway, the Xilinx examples call tcp_fast_tmr and slow_tmr from within the
timer interrupt, this is NOT CORRECT, what you need to do is set a flag like
do_fast_tcp=1 from the timer interrupt.  Then in your main program loop you
need to check for those flags and call the appropriate timer from the main
program (not the interrupt context).  TRUST ME this will save you more
headaches than just speed, I spent 2 weeks tracking down weird issues with
this.
 
If you don't call these correctly you'll eventually end up with some weird
race conditions deep in the tcp stack.

Subject: [lwip-users] lwip140 Tx performance is lower than
lwip130performance


Hi,
Continuing the earlier discussion, lwip140 performance has improved a lot on
the Rx side in comparsion to lwip130/lwip132.
But, lwip140 Tx side performance has dropped.
 
This is for RAW API mode. 
I use microblaze (from Xilinx) and run iperf to measure the performance. I
have done any changes in lwip140 or lwip130 for my tests. Also the driver
interface is exactly same for both.
Regarding the numbers, for lwip130, if I get around 100 Mbps, for lwip140 I
get around 87-90 Mbps. So there is a big drop.
Actually, if I use the same lwipopts.h for both, then the drop is even more.
If lwip130 gives 100Mbps, lwip140 gives around 65-70 Mbps. After playing
around with the configuration, I could increase from 65-70 Mbps to 87-90
Mbps. But beyond that I am unable to go.
 
The lwipopts.h for both and opt.h for both are attached.
 
regards
Anirudha

Good idea, could you please provide your lwipopts.h for both versions? 
Maybe we can see anything from that. I'd like to measure performance on 
my hardware using these 2 versions + configs.

Also, which API are you using? Sockets, netconn or raw API?
