Hi, If I'm getting it right, you are doing a test with 10 machines directly connected on the same LAN, using iperf to test the performance of the TCP/IP stack with your 10Gbit cards. But as far as I can see, netmap is not involved in your setup, you are not using it, aren't you? IOW , I don't und

Hi, I have run some performance tests but not as router, which is your case, so some information might not be relevant: 0. validate your hw stats with what you get from the output 1. Try using FLOWTABLE option in your kernel config - this may kill your machine in -CURRENT, but it's worth checking

Feedback and/or tips and tricks more than welcome. We are trying to process huge amounts of small (64 bytes) pps through a router. So far results have not been as we expected. We have tested FreeBSD 10.3, 11.0, 11.0-STABLE, and 12.0-CURRENT with and without netmap. Based on netmap documentation w
