Re: [ovs-discuss] OVS DPDK performance for TCP traffic versus UDP

Hi, I managed to solve this performance issue. I got improved performance after turning off the mrg_rxbuf and increasing the rx and tx queue sizes to 1024. Thanks, Onkar On Thu, Nov 8, 2018 at 2:57 PM Onkar Pednekar wrote: > Hi, > > We figured out that the packet processing appliance within

Hi, We figured out that the packet processing appliance within VM (which reads from raw socket on the dpdk vhost user interface) requires more packets per second to give higher throughput. Else its cpu utilization is idle most of the times. We increased the "tx-flush-interval" from default 0 to

Hi Onkar, Thanks for shedding some light. I don't think your difference in performance will have to do your OvS-DPDK setup. If you're taking the measurements directly from the iperf server side you'd be going through the "Internet". Assuming you don't have a dedicated connection there, things

Hi, I have been experimenting with OVS DPDK on 1G interfaces. The system has 8 cores (hyperthreading enabled) mix of dpdk and non-dpdk capable ports, but the data traffic runs only on dpdk ports. DPDK ports are backed by vhost user netdev and I have configured the system so that hugepages are
