Sending to Marko. As he wasn't subscribed to ovs-dev then.

VXLAN decap in OVS-DPDK configuration consists of two flows:
F1: in_port(ens1f0),eth(),ipv4(),udp(), actions:tnl_pop(vxlan_sys_4789)
F2: tunnel(),in_port(vxlan_sys_4789),eth(),ipv4(), actions:ens1f0_0

F1 is a classification flow. It has outer headers matches and it classifies the
packet as a VXLAN packet, and using tnl_pop action the packet continues
processing in F2.
F2 is a flow that has matches on tunnel metadata as well as on the inner
packet headers (as any other flow).

Hi Eli,

Hi,
After testing the patchset it seems  after the tenth patch I start seeing a 
drop in the scatter performance around ~4% decrease  across all packet sizes 
tested(112,256,512,1518)
Burst measurement see a decrease also but not as much as the scatter does.

Hi Marko,

Thanks for testing this series.


Patch10
fff1f9168 netdev-offload-dpdk: Support tunnel pop action

It doesn't make sense that this commit causes any degradation as it only enhances offloads that are not in the datapath and not done for virtio-user ports in any case.

Could you please double check?

I would expect maybe a degradation with:

Patch 12: 8a21a377c dpif-netdev: Provide orig_in_port in metadata for tunneled packets

Patch 6: e548c079d dpif-netdev: Add HW miss packet state recover logic

Could you please double check what is the offending commit?

Do you compile with ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API defined or not?

The test used for this is a 32 virito-user ports with 1Millions flows.

Could you please elaborate exactly about your setup and test?

What are "1M flows"? what are the differences between them?

What are the OpenFlow rules you use?

Are there any other configurations set (other_config for example)?

What is being done with the packets in the guest side? all ports are in the same VM?


Traffic @ Phy NIC Rx:
Ether()/IP()/UDP()/VXLAN()/Ether()/IP()

Burst: on the outer ip we do a burst of 32 packets with same ip then switch for 
next 32 and so on
Scatter: for scatter we do incrementally for 32
And on the inner packet we have a total of  1048576 flows

I can send on a diagram directly just restricted with html here to send the 
diagram here of the test setup

As commented above, I would appreciate more details about your tests and setup.

Thanks,

Eli


Thanks
Marko K
