Sorry to keep following up with this; the other thing it gives you is things like sysctl parameters, kernel, tcp window scaling (pre and post test) and a bunch of per stream and aggregated metadata relating to the entire suite. In a nice self contained gzip that can produce lovely graphs using

In terms of what you need on the target netserver/netperf from ipkg is tiny and is all you need. On 30 January 2018 at 10:51, Joel Wirāmu Pauling wrote: > FLENT + RRUL testing is 4 up 4 down TCP streams with 4 different QoS > Markings, and then 4 different QoS Marked UDP

FLENT + RRUL testing is 4 up 4 down TCP streams with 4 different QoS Markings, and then 4 different QoS Marked UDP probes and ICMP. It gives you a measure of how much the CPU and Network path can cope with load conditions, which are more realistic for everyday use. iperf3 isn't going to give you

Any chance I can convince you to use netperf + FLENT for doing your tests rather than iperf(3)? flent.org -Joel On 30 January 2018 at 03:12, Michael Richardson wrote: > > Laurent GUERBY wrote: > >> So that means that you have to do the performance

FYI - the Openfast path patches are applied to several trees. I am running them on a c7 v2 right now and am able to hit close to stock numbers. The NAT acceleration stuff isn't needed to with open-fastpath patches at all. relevant thread:

Hi as I also am using the archer c7's as my build targets (and c2600's) I am watching this keenly; is anyone else running openvswtich on these with the XDP patches? The c2600 which is arm a15 - currently really could do with optimization and probably is a much better choice for CPE. I would not
