Here seems that moongen is not able to send faster…. > > > But when i start vpp with 2 worker threads , each polling seperate nic. i see > thre throught put almost reduce by 40%! The other thread is not receiving any > packets its just polling idle nic but impacting other thread? Looks like one worker is polling both interfaces and another one is idle. That’s why you see drop of performance. Can you provide output of “show dpdk interface placement” command? > Is polling pci bus causing contention?
