4. DPDK Performance Tests¶
4.1. 10ge2p1x710-eth-l2xcbase-testpmd-ndrpdr suite¶
Raw results L2 routing test cases
[Top] Network Topologies: TG-DUT1-DUT2-TG 3-node circular topology with single links between nodes.
[Enc] Packet Encapsulations: Eth-IPv4 for L2 frame forwarding.
[Cfg] DUT configuration: DUT1 and DUT2 run the DPDK testpmd application and use the io forwarding mode. DUT1 and DUT2 are tested with ${nic_name}.
[Ver] TG verification: TG finds and reports throughput NDR (Non Drop Rate) with zero packet loss tolerance and throughput PDR (Partial Drop Rate) with non-zero packet loss tolerance (LT) expressed in percentage of packets transmitted. NDR and PDR are discovered for different Ethernet L2 frame sizes using MLRsearch library.
Test packets are generated by TG on links to DUTs. TG traffic profile contains two L3 flow-groups (flow-group per direction, 254 flows per flow-group) with all packets containing Ethernet header, IPv4 header with static payload MAC addresses are matching MAC addresses of the TG node interfaces.
