Hi,

we tested performance of nprobe with traffic sent from hardware generator. In some case the number of packets in flows reported by nprobe was higher than actually sent packets, for instance:

frame size  frame rate          sent frames    reported frames

1518        324,675 (40%) fps   100,000,000    100,001,642
1518        243,902 (30%) fps   100,000,000    100,247,749

 512        234,741 (10%) fps   100,000,000    103,960,793

It happened when running nprobe over regular NIC (10 Gb/s Myrinet).

It did not happen when running nprobe over DAG card (DAG8.2X).

Regular NIC can lose some packets, but it is very unlikely that it sends packets multiple times. So it is more likely like some problem in software.

Does anybody have any suggestion, where can be the problem?

Regards,

Sven Ubik
